While the E-B was never my favorite Enterprise (I just never liked the "refit" additions they threw on to differentiate her from the Excelsior), this one looks really pretty good. I did one, just because, several years ago, and it just sucked, so I eventually tossed it. I much prefer the cleaner lines of the Excelsior...wish they'd make a bigger, more detailed and correct model of Excelsior, but I know...never happen!

I could not agree with you more. I love the TOS “E”, and the Refit and “A”. But next in the lineup to me would be the excelsior. It has always been a nice looking ship to me and I have one here I am going to Build as the USS Jupiter. I have the custom Decals from Thomas already, just need to actually put the kit together. And as for the seams in this one, I can tell that the Excelsior model will be just as much putty and sanding as this one was.

Spend most of my time in North Carolina but have been known to hang out in Florida. So I guess I have a double chance, although not this time around.

Be careful, Winds seem to be a wipin down that way lately!
I know what you mean. I try to stay out of their way but some tmes it can't be avoided (or at least I choose not to). I will say this though, you won't find me standing in the way of a Category 5. Like the third little pig, I live in the house made of bricks but I don't think I'd even trust that at this point. And it darn sure doesn't float.
