Hi...I've been waiting on the delivery of 3PO - so far it has been thirty one days since ordering from the US- I've recently had an item sent from the UK which only took 13 days - I don't really need anything at the moment though I vow not to order from the US again - it takes an unacceptable amount of time for things to arrive. Hopefully the 3PO figure will arrive soon.

STAR WARS- My 25mm RULES.
Hi...This evening I wrote my own set of STAR WARS Rules. I had an existing set of Sci-Fi rules that I wrote several months ago and it was easy to modify them for STAR WARS.

STAR WARS - Rebel Ship.
I've ordered a MILLENIUM FALCON Rebel Ship model. The Ship model is approximately 12 inches in length - to which I'm hoping that it will suit my 25mm Star Wars figures. The model ship should be here in about a week or two - hopefully by then I'll have some 25mm Star Wars figures delivered from the US. The front extension of the model is removable.

KLINGON SHIP.
Thought to show the KLINGON Bird of Prey ship as made by Playmates. The model took twenty days to arrive here from the USA. I'm pleased with the ship- although it is a little larger than I thought. The ship is photographed with the 1/14th Klingon Sisters.

STAR TREK - Playmates O'Brien.
Thought to show the Playmates figure of Chief Miles O'Brien. The Chief was meant to be Ships Engineer though he became the Transport Officer on board the Enterprise 1701-D. Again Playmates have done an excellent job of sculpting and finishing the figure. O'Brien will make an excellent addition to my Next Generation STAR TREK Collection.

The Traveler is a very interesting character from the Next Generation. The Traveler made friends with Wesley Crusher. Once again Playmates have done a splendid job of sculpting and finishing the figure.

My ENTERPRISE.
In 1980 I designed my ENTERPRISE with a single perspective drawing. In 1983 I drew up Orthographic views of the ENTERPRISE and named it 'D' class. The drawings were handed over in 1983. Star Trek - The Next Generation went to air in 1986 - I wouldn't remember my ENTERPRISE Designs until 1993.

CADET CRUSHER.
Ensign WESLEY CRUSHER is from the Star Trek 'The Next Generation' set of Playmates figures. The figure of Wesley is a very good likeness. Playmates have done a whole host of Generations figures and they are all very much collectible.

Another ALIEN Figure.
DATHON the TAMARIAN is a much larger figure than Mordock the Benzite. Once again Playmates have done a splendid job of sculpting the alien Dathon.
Dathon will make a terrific addition to my STAR TREK - The Next Generation collection.
That is my news for today. Best Wishes. KEV.

A SHUTTLE Model.
The other day I built a SHUTTLE Model for my Classic Star Trek Figures. The model is made mainly of Cardboard, MDF Custom Wood and PVC Tubing. The model isn't the most accurate though it will do nicely for my display in the study.

NEW Playmates Figures.
Hi...I've ordered a set of STAR TREK Generations figures from the US as made by Playmates.
I've had this set before so I know what to expect- the figure of WORF in uniform is a terrific figure as are the other crew members. I've already bought an ENTERPRISE - D ready for the display. Postage is the problem at present- the last delivery from the US took twenty days- it is hard waiting.Cheers. KEV.

1/14th ENTERPRISE Bridge Model.
Hi...I've completed the building of my 1/14th Bridge Model. The model isn't the most accurate though it'll do for my display. I decided to only make a partial Bridge so that it could fit easily into my Display Cabinet.

The U.S.S. Enterprise.
It has been since 1966 that Matt Jefferies designed the ENTERPRISE NCC- 1701. Even today the ship holds it's own being an iconic part of STAR TREK.

U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - Bridge Model.
I purchased a 1/32nd model kit of the Enterprise Bridge. I'm hoping that the kit will help me to scale up the Bridge to 1/14th to suit the Playmates 5" Star Trek figures. I'll multiply the 1/32nd kit pieces by a Factor of 2.3 to bring it all to 1/14th scale. I intend to only build a partial model to be able to place the finished model into my Display Cabinet in my Study- Computer Room.

STAR TREK- Miniature Starship Battles.
I've conducted five star ship battles pitching the U.S.S. Enterprise against the Klingon Cruiser. The Enterprise had won all five games - with the Klingon Cruiser coming close by reducing the Enterprise Shields down to a very low level.

STAR TREK- Playmates Classic Set Arrives.
Hi...My Playmates CLASSIC SET of Star Trek figures arrived yesterday after waiting sixteen days postage from Ohio USA. The figures of Captain James T. Kirk and his crew are just fabulous- they are very detailed and accurate.
