DAYAM! Only way to take it to the next level is to have an actual touchscreen interacting with LCARS!
oh which reminds me only ppl here may appreciate my setup
I don't think anyone would be willing to pay what I'd need to get, to qualify the work I had to put into it. This may be approaching 500 hours by now, with learning how to do LED's, etc. I have been pretty meticulous about it. It's my first LED lit model, and I had to go through the process in full. I think I have $400 - $450 in parts, kits, mods, lights, supplies, glue, paint, wood etc. and the stellar acrylic base I commissioned with Matt at Laserfirecreations. There's a lot put into one of these. It's not a hobby for the budget conscious modeler, that's for sure.) this seems to be the best I could afford:
Man now you did it.....
Got me all wound up about finding this grail .... LOL
Since it is looking less and less likely I will ever build my own model and it looking good and buying yours is not an option (I would be disappointed if you ever parted with your creation for any amount of money

The base is set up and the lights installed. Here's how she turned out. Really happy with it. Picture is kind of off angle, so it warped some of the lines. It's straight as an arrow in person. There are black toggle switches above "lighting" and "engines". Just can't see those in the picture.
