Hmm...the world needs a Deuce's Wild online shrine.
Gimme a break, this thread's only 3 hours old!!! LOL
I gotta admit, this was the FIRST Deuce thread where I was a little nervous opening up the picture...
you have done an OUTSTANDING job! I can not wait to see this completed! Keep this one in mind for an upcoming contest (see the contest thread in a few minutes...)
As for Star Trek, i'm a big fan. I even got invited to the premier showing of ST IV (The Voyage Home) in Boston with Nemoy and Majel Roddenberry (way kewl).
My 15 seconds of fame, with regard to Star Trek comes from a CAD drawing that I did of NCC-1701A. I did this incredibly detailed line drawing (detailed to the point where I was offered a job to draw other ships for the blue print publisher). When i took one to a convention (got the entire crews autograph on it too
), I showed Majel Roddenberry and she signed it and fell in love with it and asked if she could have one for Gene (it's a 24" X 36" print on velum) and I said sure and went to get one from my car. When I got back she handed me two back stage passes to the Star Trek set (never got to use them, but still have them).
During either the 3rd or 4th season I got a letter informing me that my print was in an upcoming episode (can't recall which one at the moment). Turns out there is a scene in Capt Picard's bedroom as as the camera pans around the room, you can see my print, framed, hanging on the wall.
I was shocked!
Geekdom is my home, and I am comfortable there
