Piroaki7 - Lamia

Nice new image that I found on twitter of Lamia, the way the face is drawn captures the character well - would be great to see a colourised version.

Cute Star Fleet Bento Box

Folder preview
I'd not seen this item before until now.
It's a small snack box/tin produced (I think) by Showa.

Bumper Update

I was sent a huge number of great images from Dan at SFFB over the past few weeks...
I understand that Gary Cass has started producing X-Bomber 3D prints that are colour-3D-printed:
	Gary Cass - More Projects
At the same time, I have some great images of cpltony16's PPA model.
I also received some detailed and interesting images of Andrea Mazzuzi's and CJ Jones' Dai-X model builds.

Matsukami too is working on a 3D X-Bomber model.  Take a look on the forum for more.

I spotted that a number of further Star Fleet-related paintings had been done by eBay user greggsinnit.
The Shiro one is really good, but the Dai-X is still the best to my mind.

Lastly, I noticed last month that there was an odd behaviour with the site, where the server seemed to be interrupting the SLIR image processing, and gallery pages with 100+ images were only loading about half of them.
This behaviour now seems to be fixed.

Dai-X Painting

I really like this painting but I already have a nice illustration of Dai-X in my office:

News Update

We had a fun Star Fleet Teams this time around, late in February.
Since Chat/Teams is built into Windows 11 and Microsoft seems to want to effectively replace Skype with it, I thought I would try and use that, and it worked quite well.
We had quite good discussion about all sorts of things.
Thanks to all who joined!

Off the back of that, I have added the link to Andy Thomas' youtube channel to the links page:
	Excelsior's Domain - YouTube
If you like Babylon 5, you'll have a good time there.

We have a great thread going on the forum about Tony's reconstruction of PPA.
There are a lot of really nice images uploaded there:
	Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
I look forward to that hopefully getting updated further.

New Showa Sketchbook

I'm pretty sure I've not seen this one before.
Anyway, it's now headed to the FROM JAPAN warehouse.
Once it gets to me, I'll scan it and you can have a better look at the cover illustration.

Update: This item has arrived. I'll scan the cover to get a better image of the illustration.

ExplorerPatcher

About the most vexing feature removal for me in Windows 11 is the ability to put the taskbar down the side, especially, given that the new taskbar is enormous and takes up a great deal of vertical space.
Hacking the Windows registry to get the taskbar down the side, as commonly suggested, doesn't seem to work, but there are alternatives.

I put on ExplorerPatcher and it seems to work for me.
In fact, it makes the whole thing easier to use, since the "(lack of) Control Centre" in Windows 11 makes some things harder to do, and ExplorerPatcher gives you the Windows 10 taskbar behaviour and appearance back.
You can also make the taskbar icons and buttons smaller again, a la Windows 10, which is helpful for multi-tasking.

Another avenue might be to use StarDock Start11, which looks very impressive, but ExplorerPatcher has been sufficient for me so far.

Windows 11 still feels like a beta product and Microsoft has given me no wins since Windows 10 Mobile, which was nearly 10 years ago.

Thunderbolt

Things are quiet on the Star Fleet front.
I put together my (very) little model of a Thunderbolt from possibly the least-well-known Gerry Anderson show: Firestorm, that's been sitting on my shelf for absolutely ages.

It's such a nice design, it's a pity there isn't a bigger one available anywhere.
