    I don't have anything to add, other than this is a great thread.

    I wish I hadn't come to the conclusion back when that while I did know "something" had happened to me, I didn't know what it was, but I knew that while I didn't know I could pass it on. I decided three generations of insanity was enough and whacked the chain into pieces with an axe. I don't know how it happened, but my still-crazy sister managed to raise a sane son, who married the world's best woman and I love them both to pieces, second only to their offspring - one of whom is going to design the Mars ship, and the other is going to fly it there. So I get to enjoy it knowing I am no longer a carrier of the virus of whatever you want to name it.

    Tom, that’s a great post. If only we could all lose just a little of that ‘virus’ each generation then the species would truly be on to something.

    Tom, you are spot on. You are better off for following your own dreams and desires. It reduces the coulda, shoulda, woulda list. @tcinla

    David,
    Congrats! Grandkids are the best. In fact, as someone once said, “if I would have known how much fun they would be, I would have skipped kids and went straight for grandkids”. 🙂 @dirtylittlefokker

    I had no idea that Revell made an Enterprise; I'm about to start the re-issue AMT 16" version. I am looking forward to seeing your finished model!

    I don't know how I missed the start of this thread, but I just read it all the way through, and I'm both entertained and inspired - and from a Vulcan modeling site, no less! Kudos to all who have tagged along for the ride and contributed!

    Thanks, Sherwood. Taken my for off the pedal with this one - was supposed to be a Christmas gift - didn’t specify what Christmas, though.

    Appreciate you posting.
