g4 Star Trek Pony - Uhura

[Ellis1342]

So I went to Gencon this year, which is the biggest gaming convention in the U.S. Kind of like Comicon for gamers. Anyway one of the guests was Nichelle Nichols, the actress that played Uhura. I wanted to show her the Uhura pony I had made in the past. She squeeled and laughed so hard! Out of nowhere I asked if she would sign a smaller version if I brought her tomorrow. She agreed on the condition that I would make her one too!!

So I got home at 9pm and finished the pony at 1am. When I showed it to her the next day, I asked if she would still sign it. Initially she said and I quote, "No, she's going home with me in my pocketbook!" She laughed and signed her for me and after I gave her a card she told me someone would be in touch on where to send hers!!

So here, have some pics of g4 Uhura.
