[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] OK, before this gets any more out of hand, I'm going to tell all of you THE FACTS. 1. The blurry photos of the Melbourne, the Chekov on the coffee cup, and the Buran all came from Gary Perry. He just took pictures of the actual slideshow presentation. Yes, that's what the original photos looked like, don't ask me why. We had Gary's permission to show them on Bernd's site, which was done a few years ago. 2. Another fellow by the name of Paul Frenczli also took pretty much the same photos of both the Chekov and the Buran when he was at the same convention. Not long after Gary sent Bernd his pics, Paul sent Chris Spinnler his Chekov pic. However, his photos were of much better quality than Gary's for some reason. If anyone remembered Gary's false colored shot of the Chekov, and compared it to Paul's pic of the same shot, you could clearly see the improvement. Paul allowed Chris to post his Chekov pic on his site. 3. A few months later, Paul sent Chris a better-quality pic of the Buran, like he did with the Chekov. For some reason though, Paul did not give Chris permission to show the pic on the site, as he did with the Chekov. Or maybe Chris asked for permission, & Paul just never got back to him. I don't know. I was sent the pic as well for some reason. I thought it was because Paul decided to let people see the pic by email instead of on a website where everyone could see it. But later I would find out that that wasn't the case. 4. Years go by, and things are forgotten. 5. Once the BoBW DVD comes out & Starship Millenium makes new screencaps, we all get to see the wrecked ships clearer than ever. It's at this time that I find out that no one else had ever seen the Buran pic Paul gave us. Chris tries to contact Paul to see if he can get the guy's permission to show the pic, but AFAIK, he hasn't gotten a response. 6. The clearer pic of the Buran is quite small, and really doesn't show any more detail than the false-color pic did. The most clear thing you can see is that the secondary hull isn't the angular piece that we all thought it was. I really don't know how to describe it; honestly, to me it looks like a flat pillow with a row of lights running down the side. I made a quick pencil drawing of the ship once. I'll upload it here on my next post. As for showing the actual photo, let me email Chris to see where he's gotten with contacting Paul. [/QB][/QUOTE]
