This one started out as the Enterprise A. I went to a lot of work hand painting the panel detail(Yes, I know it's inaccurate).
| Following my first build of the lit A, this one was rechristened USS
Excalibur NCC-1711 based on information from one of FASA's ship recognition
manuals. In an ironic note, I had decided, back before my wife and I moved in December of '94, to scrap the much-repaired Excalibur and put her into the parts box. My wife, citing the amount of work I did on her, convinced me not to scrap her. A plaque that was placed on the shelf in front of the ship read "SAVED FROM DECOMMISIONING 9412.27 BY AMY L. RILEY." |

Shortly after moving into our new apartment back in '97, I used my computer and printer to create "Excalibur" tags to go over anywhere it may have said "Enterprise" in letters too small for me to write over by hand. |
| After yet another tumble from the ceiling due to high winds blowing a door open, I had to resort to bracing the nacelles with thread between them in order to keep the damaged starboard warp assembly from drooping. |  |

If you look closely at this pic, you can see where I added the "main gangway" as described in Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise. |
