 Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2016 5:37 pm Post subject: Balance of Error-A Satire with Models |
 |
|
After recently completing my 1/1000 scale TOS Romulan Bird-of-Prey I came up with the idea of using humorously captioned screen caps from Trek Core and photos of the BOP along with some of my other USS Enterprise models to take a satirical look at one of my favorite Trek episodes, the anti-war themed classic, "Balance of Terror".
So, with tongue firmly in cheek, I hereby present "Balance of Error" where Kirk and crew, through a series of boneheaded blunders and just plain dumb luck, somehow prevail in a battle of nitwits...
P.S. Please note, in an effort to be true to its original series roots, I have included a good dose of more or less overt 60's sexism; so, if that offends any of you, well, you better quit reading right now and go back to watching your Star Trek the Next Generation episodes.
