Just redid my Star Trek:TOS matte. Was very fortunate to find an autograph from Jeffrey Hunter who a couple of years after appearing in the original pilot of Star Trek. I am also awaiting a signed card from Joan Collins.

Thanks....And believe me. I am not that skilled...And I my patience level is low. Just a bit of practice and you can do the same. Will be posting some new mattes very soon.

On a side note. I see your from the UK. Went with the wife 3yrs ago. We had such a good time we are going back with the kids for a week in a couple of months.
Trust me that is one hell of skill!
Oh that is great. Where have you been? If you haven't already you should visit the North East of England which is where I'm from. We have loads of historical sites, including Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral where scenes from Harry Potter were shot. Newcastle and Durham are beautiful cities too. God, I should be on commission!

P.S. to keep it on topic, I would kill for your Star Trek matte. Let me know when you get Joan Collins because that is going to look amazing!

Thanks. I will repost the pic with Joan as soon as I get it.

As to your other question. Last time we mainly stayed in London. We did take a day trip to Leeds Castle & Canterbury. This time we will probably stay in London. But, with a day trip north to Oxford and the Cotswolds. With 3 kids its easier to stay in one place.

Ah that's fair enough. At least you've seen outside of London though as that city is almost a different country to the rest of England. Oxford is beautiful you will really enjoy it!

We leave to head home the Sunday before the wedding. So we should see the hype up to it...Without the crowds and shutdowns of it. :)

Will you be adding any other Star Trek autos or will Joan Collins be it? I know I got Trek guest stars TTM from Elinor Donahue, Michael Forest, Paul Comi, Antoinette Bower, and Nancy Kovack. All came relatively quickly.

Dogwood, I won't be adding anything to the Trek matte after adding Joan Collins. Although, if I get a Roger C.Carmel (Harvey Mudd)...I might switch out the Collins.

Added about 10 new signatures to the HP matte. And got a real (not fanmade) photo of the Deathly Hallows, pt.I poster.
