In this first video I introduce myself and my mission to build the entire original Starship Enterprise 1701 from the bridge down to the cargo hold on deck 24 in the secondary hull. I saw my first episode of Star Trek on a black and white TV way back in 1970 when I was jut 6 years old and loved it from the start. I loved the adventures and the iconic crew but more than anything I loved the Enterprise itself which in a way became my home and my escape into another world. I grew up in a very poor household and my parents drank and argued a lot and I realise now that the Enterprise was the well-functioning environment that I needed as a kid. The ship and the crew faced challenges and danger together and they were all in it together and supported each other no matter what. As time went on I became more and more curious about what the ship was like inside beyond what we saw on the show. So now it is today and there is a huge amount of reference beyond the fantastic Franz Joseph blueprints that I will be using in this massive physical old-school modelling project! I hope you will support me and join me on this mission by Subscribing and following my channel. Each and every subscriber becomes a crewmember in my view and we go together at warp speed to realise the dream! Thank you for your support and welcome aboard!
