I cant remember seeing another embellished design. the originals raiders were pretty generic as I recall.

Hello all, hope everyone is ok. since being on furlough for 12 weeks I've bitten the bullet and retrieved the USS Enterprise NCC 1701E from my stash. I've spent countless hours drilling out the windows and have begun to consider the whole Aztec aspect. Can any one recommend a UK stockist of Aztec / hull decals? I've checked out fleabay but to no avail. Any ideas folks? thanks very much.

How very coincidental, I'm 5 eps in to the last series. I never watched it when it was shown originally. We are enjoying it immensely apart from a single dreadful episode ( we devolve into salamanders) the rest is pure Trek gold. Voyager herself is a gorgeous ship so much so I've tracked a Revell kit myself. I'd just like to say that this series has the most gorgeous opening sequence of just about any show (original Thunderbirds excluded) I've ever seen.

Star Trek Discovery Now on Paramount +
RACETRACK replied to Max Headroom's topic in Entertainment Central
Avoid. Non cannon, has moments of brilliance but overall, disappointing. Characters designed to annoy, technology way ahead of its (TOS) time. Klingons who are so different they're unknown. A plagiarised power source, an altered for no good reason Enterprise. A great Capt Pike. Sadly written by group of writers who wouldn't know Trek lore if they were being simultaneously beaten with assembled kits of the various incarnations of Enterprise and other iconic vessels. Roll on the end of January. Cant wait for Picard. -

no, yes. all puns intended .I don't have high hopes for Drac's appearance on the BBC. Also for another sequel to WotW check out Scarlet traces...... -

H.P Lovecraft is a fave of mine, I'd love to see a faithful adaptation of The mountains of madness, or A shadow over Innsmouth. -

I've been disappointed with other dramatized versions of this story over the years, but had allowed a spark of positive expectation to raise an eyebrow. I shouldn't have taken the bait. From the opening whimper of the familiar passage it grabbed hold of the novel and eviscerated it taking away most of the narrative. What remained was just the shell and very different indeed. From the initial contact with the spinning ball bearings which were impressive enough to bring the intrepid trio to the scene and seemingly no one else at the time, to the rehashed tripod design, the production was lack lustre and confused. It changed the story completely and in places became subject to replacement placed politics ( the British Empire lecture) as is the policy for the BBC of late. The cast had continual static facial expression from the continually goosed George to the anguished. just bashed my thumb with a hammer; Frederick and the leading lady (i'm sorry I can't bring myself to recollect the character name) who's singular grimace I suspect could usually be found after a particularly hard time in the loo. That's also where this production belongs. I have to say the Cruise version from years back may have been different, but at least is was interesting and had genuine jaw dropping moments. Other than that I'm sticking with the George pal version. Again not book accurate but at least the martian war machines were and still are, cool. I f you have not seen this production I'd say don't bother. It's almost three hours of your life you never going to get back. -

ah yes, "adapted from", I should have buried my expectations at that point, but yes what a fantastic idea, Peter Jackson would, I think ,do the job and do it very well indeed. -

so glad you mentioned the masterful Mr Burton's opening monologue. Often copied never bettered. The passage recited on this version pales dreadfully. I see what you mean about relevance for today. I however would just like to see to story told. Well. Without up dates, without expansion. -

Caught the first episode on Sunday. Sad to say as I've loved the novel for years , I thought this adaptation to be meandering, tedious, lacking in tension and annoying. I cant ever remember a love story being woven into the novel? The SFX are lacking any wow at all, the Fighting machines really do look like the creature designs for the over lords in the Tripod serial from way back when. I'll watch the other episodes and try to keep my arms unfolded, not raise my eyebrows and mutter to my self. I've been really looking forward to this for ages. now I feel i've had the jam nicked out of my doughnut. Still, I haven't seen His Dark materials yet,that should be good! -
