A "Real" Traveling Sci-Fi Air Show!
« on: June 25, 2010, 08:53:57 PM »
With full scale and fully interiored(SP?) fictional spacecraft that you can enter just like with any large plane/helicopter at a normal airshow. A former ILM visual effects artist thought this up and put it together with a bunch of other people ofcourse.

This is just so awesome!

Obviously the pictures of the ships in flight are fake(darn it! lol).
All hail the messiah!

There were no full-scale mockups built of the craft made for the original movie, and the ones from the TV shows are probably still owned by Paramount.

I'm surprised there aren't any X-Wings, A-Wings or Y-Wings out there.  And where the frak is the Millenium Falcon?! :P

"Beyond the rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I think you mean MGM.

But you people are missing the point of this.

There WAS no air show. It's all clever photography and CGI. In some shots, it's fairly obvious. For fraks' sake, read the histories of the ships, it's clearly fictitious.

Klingon Academy now works on XP/Vista/Win 7 thanks to one dude's patches, click here for details. I highly recommend it!
