[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Back when the big Wolf 359 thread was going on here, one piece of information uncovered was Miarecki's website. Remember, at the time we knew [b]nothing[/b] about the kitbashes other than some basic (and erroneous) descriptions of a few of them. We didn't even know who built them until Miarecki listed his five models on his site. He also had a contact email. Unfortunately, as tends to happen when lots of people get the same information at the same time without consulting each other, about 100 people decided to email him asking about the models (what they looked like; does he have photos, etc.) Since his site and contact info was primary for work solicitation, he (rightly) got pissed at all these people emailing him asking the exact same thing, for which he wasn't getting paid for, or could even remember clearly. It was bad and it was ugly, and as a member of the research team, I did NOT want that to happen again with anyone else we contacted. Luckily, our communications with Okuda and Sternbach proved to be much better handled ;) Later on, once we got more info and pics, one of the other guys emailed him again (just one email this time) and made a collage of the five ships to see if it would jog Miarecki's memory. I seem to recall that it was the false-color top view of the Melbourne, the pic of the Kyushu hanging in the Art Department, the well-known trading card pic of the Ahwahnee, and the pic of the Chekov sitting on the coffee cup (he did send the wrong pic of the Buran, as we didn't have the slideshow photo yet and still thought it was the erroneous Constitution-based design; rightly Miarecki didn't recognize it). He was friendlier this time and did recall building the other models. [/QB][/QUOTE]
