Then you have the old red copper bottom paint and ....................


Probably put there on purpose,,, to keep the "Klingon's" from attacking the hull :D (yuk, yuk, yuk)

For 200K, the Dilithium crystals and warp core better be in usable condition. Obvious tractor beam damage on the front also reduces the value.
Then you have the old red copper bottom paint and high water line from a previous salvage attempt and ............... Well, They should pay you to take it away.

That very well could be the real thing.

OK, that settles it...Don really does know everything about everything!!!! :)

Does no one see the seriousness of this situation ??

Would not be surprised to see "1701" go for near < $$$ Half Mill $$$>

Nothing quite so exciting. All I did is watched the Galileo Seven episode on the computer, and did a screen shot of it flying.
Then just put the two pictures (original and screenshot) together in photoshop.

Here is the screen shot I used.

It's why photoshop is so fun to play with.

I'd paint my camper like that but then I'd have to live in the thing. My wife would kill me. I can hear her now. LOL
