Grow up!!
A couple of weeks ago, we reported on a breakup wherein a man’s ex-wife tossed out his entire collection of Star Wars memorabilia. That was a terrible thing to see, but brace yourselves, fanboys. Today’s break-up disaster is much much worse!
Tony Alleyne, a resident of Leicester, UK and the very definition of Trekkie, did what every one of us dreams of… he turned his entire house into a replica of a Star Trek ship!
When Tony’s soon-to-be-ex-wife left him back in 1994, he made the decision to begin work on a massive project that would transform the 500-square foot interior of his flat into that of a Starfleet ship. Basing his designs on the USS Voyager, Alleyne got to work.
After 10 years, Alleyne’s work was complete. His apartment looked like something out of one of a Trek fan’s most exquisite wet dreams. He had hand-crafted every piece of furniture, reworked the walls, added a command console, a transporter room, voice-activated lighting sytestem… even a Trek bathroom! Alleyne’s apartment was as close as any fan is going to get to cruising on the Voyager in our lifetimes. When asked why he chose the Voyager over something more popular like the Enterprise, Alleyene said:
“I have always considered that of all the Starfleet ships, Voyager is, in terms of interior, the luxury liner of the galaxy.”
