It’s almost MYTHical how cool this is!
“Insufficient Replica”? I wonder if this is the Roddenberry Replica he’s talking about ( http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RBRPC001 ).
Somebody sent me this not too long ago. Really cool. I appreciate all the little details and love put in. Now if it could control your TV and things in the house too…..
I saw Insufficient Replica when they played New Orleans in ’96.
Extra points for the pilot-era gooseneck viewer.
Great video. Love the detail!
Nice chair! The viewer is a great touch.
The one Adam had was pretty awful looking; he said in the video that it came from eBay and was so awful he just had to
You can see in the first couple minutes of the video it’s just not right at all.
*just had to build his own.
He also makes Maltese Falcon replicas…
Adam gets to have too much fun.
