Blast from the past - pictures

[Rico]

So, I've been dubbing some old video on to DVD and found this little set of treasures on a tape.  First shot is myself, my brother Joe (red shirt) and my friend Alan (gold shirt) in our old U.S.S. Aurora uniforms at a con way back in the day.  The next shot is of a bridge console I built in my basement growing up.  I eventually made it much better, with a better viewscreen.  The last shot is of my brother in the Mugato costume we made.  Boy, these shots bring back some fond memories.  Enjoy!

Those are just great!

I love them!  Cool bridge.  Are those stereo speakers I see on the wall?

That's the red alert box.

Nice!  You got the shape on the console just like the one on the Enterprise!  VERY COOL!

Thanks!  I don't have much photo-wise from that era but I'll try and find more.

Great pics Rico. I'm so jealous of your childhood. The best I got was like a playmates enterprise and a couple action figures.

You had the bridge! :D ;)

Back then to get the cool stuff (bridge pieces, costumes, props, etc.) you had to build it and make it all yourself.  But I learned a lot in the process about carpentry, electrical, and so forth.
