The USS Grandeur-A Project: Who's Who?
As the project has gone on now for over the past three years, I feel we need to know who it is who has contributed and made this effort a formidable one. I will add members and their pictures, as well as some of their credits, right here in this thread as I can so that everyone visiting knows who's who.

The Grandeur-A Senior Staff...
Being that the whole thing was started by the IFT Chapter, USS Grandeur, the senior staff have the final say in what is to represent our ship. For the sake of this thread, here's the run down:
Project Leader: Darren R. Sexton
Hails From:
- The glorious south, Tennessee
Project Term:
- From the begining to current
Contributions:
- I don't like to toot my own horn, but for the sake of this project and fleshing it all out... I have been the designer for anything related to Grandeur from the get go, over twelve years ago now.
I designed the 2D views, pixel-by-pixel, that got Jason'VEKTOR'Lee's attention and interest in modelling the ship, not only as a challenge for his already formidable skill, but also for the design elements that were present that really represented the flow of the Trek universe well. This is the one that started it...
Project Consultant 1: Larry Roop
Hails From:
- The north, Ohio
Project Term:
- From the begining to current
Contributions:
- Well, he's the Captain of the ship/chapter (and is the initial founder of it 12 yrs ago) He has a great vision as a writer in the Trek universe. We all appreciate Larry and we understand he preetty much has as much say as anyone on the project.
Project Consultant 2: J. Lane Deaver
Hails From:
- Another south-paw, North Carolina
Project Term:
- From the begining to current
Contributions:
- Another respected, long time friend, and senior officer of the ship/chapter. Lane is a great guy and also has a great vision as a writer in the Trek universe. He has a lot of smarts about the weapons side of things and we really appreciate Lane when he has a point to add.

Head Of CGI
Project Head of CGI: Jason Lee
Hails From:
- Washington
Project Term:
- From the begining to current
Contributions:
- We really respect, appreciate, and honor Vektor, not only as an artist, photographer, graphic designer, 3D modeler and animator, among other things, but also as a level-headed, intelligent, well-rounded kinda guy. We fully trust his judgement and knowledge about the engineering of Trek era vessels and other things and always consult with him for other CGI contributions to the project. We have spent countless hours hashing over this or that change, what would be better, and what just wouldn't quite work, so we've been through some times. But he has dedicated himself to this project and is a good, honest, and thoughtful guy. We are proud of his accomplishments and wish him a bright future!

Re: The USS Grandeur-A Project: Who's Who?
LCARS/Animation Technition: Adge Cutler
Hails From:
- just outside of Salisbury, England, approximately 2 miles from Stonehenge
Project Term:
- From Oct. 2008 to current
Skills & Contributions:
- I am 58, and I started the LCARS Adge's Star Trek Media Site basically because I had quite a lot of Trek 'bits and bobs', that I had kept over the years, going back to the seventies, when I first watched Star Trek: The Original Series, as a teenager. One thing was sure at that time, I immediately could see difference between Star Trek and other TV sci-fi series. Admittedly, in 1966, I watched the shows then in black and white - gosh, all those years ago!
I had created many Flash animations in the late 90's that I had painted representing LCARS and Pre-LCARS panels. Note: When showing them to my friends they thought this was impossible, but over the years I have mastered the process extremely well. My intent was then diverted in designing a web site that would get the visitor, and stimulate those failing star trek memories which capriciously erase from our minds over time. I hope I have achieved that successfully.
Adge is helping us with an interactive LCARS program we are calling the USS Grandeur-A LCARS System Orientation Display using the Chief's wonderful Lcars screens and designs.
