He just started it. By the looks of it, we may be in for a treat, model-pic-wise. He's already shown a pic of the Frederickson and the rare Enterprise History Wall models.

Cool. I already enjoy Mojo's blog, I wonder if there are any other former Trek effects guys showing off rare insights and images?

Remind me, who was it who was generally abusive to anyone who presumed to dare to contact his magnificence? Jein? Or Miarecki?

I think you're talking about Ed Miarecki. He was less than diplomatic, IIRC. But, to be fair, he probably did have genuinely better things to do than answer nitpicky questions about study models from TNG.

Actually what happened was this: Someone here at Flare (I'm pretty sure it was me [Smile] ) happened to be looking at his resume on his website one day, and noticed that he had built study models for the Melbourne, Kyushu, Chekov, Buran, and Ahwahnee (this was before the Wolf 359 thread). Said person posted his find on Flare, and five thousand people proceeded to email Miarecki with the exact same question: "Any photos?" He had every right to get pissed off. I just hope nobody pisses off Drexler.

One would assume that he's thought through the implications of starting a blog and the added attention it might bring. . .

You'd be surprised. I'm a nobody and even I get about 10 "annoying trekkie" emails a week. I shudder to think what someone of some notability get bombarded with.

I am following his blog and he is promising some cool pix from his days at Star Trek.

He seems pretty gracious so far.

Drexler is a good guy. Back when I could maintain my site he emailed me once complimenting it. At first skeptical, I emailed back asking for something only the real deal could offer and got it. To me he comes off as someone who knows the kind of fan support Star Trek gets and the effort fans put into and respects it.

--------------------
I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

I tend to inherently like people who genuinely have fun at their jobs. Drexler obviously does.

Actually, I'm honestly surprised you're not getting more Animated DCVerse emails than Trek these days.

Barely a peep out of that crowd. Either they're much more shy than the trekkies or I haven't made much of an impression on that front. Probably both.

Huh. you should see if DC.com will allow you to link to their site- I'd bet the fanboy-mail would fly in.
I mean, consider that thousands of fans collect that line of "justice League" figures in that style- you'd be a big hit with that crowd.
