I’m not knocking your site or anything Anthony, I come here every day. My first post did come off a little rude, but I didn’t mean it that way at all.

By the way, it may be because I’m not a collector, or because I only like TOS, but who is Rick Sternbach?

Love the talk radio analogy by Anthony.;)

these articles are read by thousands of people per week. Remember that comments are like talk radio...only a tiny fraction of the audience actually comment...and usually only things where there may be some debate. Although this one did inspire Trek luminary Rick Sternbach himself to comment (see above)

These reports are just the facts and not much to debate over perhaps. There is an active memoriabelia and collectors market...the world of Trek isnt just TOSR fans/critics and Trek XI anticipators.

for those not into or interested in collecting, i suggest reading one of the other 10-20 stories TrekMovie.com put up each week.

I just figured nobody cared since these usually get the least amount of comments.

I wouldn’t call the DS9 model a “study model” in the usual sense of the word, which to me conveys the meaning that the model was constructed to aid in the design process. This one was used to plan motion control VFX shots. If that’s studying the model, well, that’s fine. The design of the station itself was done with rough CGI shape models on my desktop computer, plus piles of pen-and-ink sketches and final pencil blueprint drawings. I never built any physical models to help imagine the shape of the station the way I eventually did with Voyager. If the Voyager study model ever makes it to auction, run away…very fast. I don’t believe it’ll hold together as long as the real miniature will. :)
