Star Trek.
I always like the ships and I had the trading cards. I remember at the time the little plastic pouches degrading and going oily on the inside.
I even had this, but gave it away after I realized just how long it was taking to paint the darn thing.
So, the paints cost me more then the kit itself. Then the Extreme amount of time to paint it in the correct colors of that funky blue and grey without making a mistake took more time then I had to give to it. And my kit did not come with lights. So when they had one that did? I told myself I would get that kit someday.
The book that I read from it that still sticks like I was watching the movie was this one:
I really liked the cover as it had this 3d effect.
This book is still stuck in my head today. This may have been one of the best Novels I have read were it did this really weird trick that it did not read like a book but like it played back in your mind like a real story you were apart off.
I never really got why people read novels and non fiction till I read this book.
Crazy how a story sticks with you. Kind of like VR but with your own imagination. But I could swear, it was like I was watching a movie.
What really got me into it was all the Technical stuff. From ships drawings, how LCARS worked etc.
And Memory Alpha WAS a joy to be at to look up stuff.
It just had this really cool feel to it all. You could also look up side info on things and Easter eggs etc.
Star wars never really was a thing for me.
