You know, I�ve seen the building several times, and I�ve never really thought about the ships. I just assumed it�s the "standard" ones, you know, the Enterprises, but are they?

Are there any good pics? Here�s a site that shows a pic so you all at least know what my rawings are about: http://www.grms.fsnet.co.uk/sfhq.htm

IIRC, they were just standard Micromachines painted gold.

I love reading about how they make that stuff. Window shades as architecture. Gotta love those F/X geeks!!

They mentioned the Starfleet HQ building in the back of a ST: Magazine issue. I don't know which one, and don't care to look through everyone until I find it. As I recall though, the bottom half of the structure is a real building with the top half based off an old concept drawing for the GM factory. The ships are MicroMachines, based off the military practice of decorating bases with old jets.

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.
