Take a sledge hammer to the original NCC1701 model and bask in the knowledge the next iteration will be vastly superior when you have the time and energy to finish it. Talk dirty to the wife. Have her talk dirty to you. Live a bit on future plans and the time will pass.
That old model is long gone. I used a lot of the parts for paint and structural tests and rough building. I haven’t had the ability to focus well enough to work on it. I’ve got a wiring problem I need to track down but it requires a lot of mental energy that I just don’t have.

I have been painting a little at a time.

Don’t know if I’ve shared these here

The first is my dear friend Pat who died last week. I’m giving this one to his drummer partner of 30 years.

The next is one I am refining. Getting the detail right and anatomy, proportion, etc. I’m working my way down, torso and arms are good, legs and face need work.

The last one I’m trying to save. It’s off the rails.
