Captain … Who?
My brother and father have made a full-scale replica of Captain Kirk’s chair from the original Star Trek series, complete with computerized sounds, toggle switches, computer “discs” and a funny “kill Finney” button (if you know what I mean, you’re a real Trekker).
My brother is also a Dr. Who fan. So inevitably, the two worlds collided. Enjoy the mind-bending result!

How fun of them!
Oh wow. :fun:
So incredibly cool! That’s a great replica of the captain’s chair…and who would have thought of putting Dr Who at the com??
Happy New Year!!!!!
the first time I responded…it came up as a screw up..so trying again….but I thought this was so funny girl..and I love your interesting family!
This chair is amazing! Wish I could see it in person. Thanks for the nice comments and subbing. Will do the same!
@VallejoGirl - It is quite imposing in person. The team worked from published specs and close-up photos of the real thing, so when you sit in it, you get a very good sense of what it was like for Shatner. No wonder his ego was enormous! *grin*
Ooo I have a photo of my mother-in-law sitting in that chair. Sec, gonna find that and post it too.
