TrekkieMage 0 Posted May 12, 2003 "Tony Alleyne, 50, recently placed his small Leicestershire, England, apartment on the market for the equivalent of US$1.7 million, a price he said was realistic because he has spent nearly 10 years crafting the premises as a finely detailed model of the "Star Trek" starship Enterprise. Included, according to an April report in Australia's Herald Sun, are a life-size transporter control, a gigantic warp core drive, voice-activated lighting and security, and an infinity mirror. "If you're going to do something," he said, "you have to go all the way." Alleyne said he started the project as therapy when his wife walked out on him.

ddillard 2 Posted May 13, 2003 Alleyne said he started the project as therapy when his wife walked out on him. Who says that Star Trek is not good therapy. So you should be left alone now VBG until you get to this point. Just wondering, think maybe this is why his wife left? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
