SHhh! New Scope!

Post by Airconvent »

yup...I was at a certain someone's house today to collect something when I noticed the biggest "curry pot" I have ever seen on his floor....

It towers over Mooey's 8" scope and can bully Elton's teleport, all 12.5" of it! No wonder we have alot of clouds lately as it arrived a week ago!

I can't wait for it to be pitted against the 10" Teleport. I am salivating already!
After all, all 3 are part of the famous "Z" family...
I'll let the owner own up here but obviously, now I know why he has been selling all those great stuff away, even a Televue!
BTW, for first light outside, I have taken queue no. 1 !!

rich

hint : CSI - You can also check the equipment list for clues... :lol:

Yes...this is an Akira class federation starship with the same capabilities as the sovereign class NCC1701E USS Enterprise. Judging from the registry number, this particular ship is the USS Thunderchild.
More info here :

http://www.durfee.net/startrek/c_Akira.html

But I do prefer the sovereign class... I actually have the Bandai model...

oops...I've gone off topic! This is supposed to be thread to make it easier for the cause of the cloudy skies these past few days to "confess" ...heh heh
