Tribble for sale at Screen Used props

http://www.screenused.com/?sectionID=items&subsectionID=index.cfm&item_id=6482

According to the description:

This is one of the tribbles used on screen during the filming of this episode. The custom display case measures 10" tall x 11.5" wide x 6.5" deep.

I think this is a very good deal and someone should jump at it! The display case is a great addition and this is well priced at $ 499. As most people know, I think Screen Used are one of the few good guys in the prop industry, so I recommend them.

The next blog you need to read!

I am a HUGE fan of John Eaves. He is a brilliant concept artist and designed the Enterprise E and the Nemesis Valdor class Romulan Warbird, two of my favorite ships. His blog is amazing and a must read!

Rick Sternbach Auctions off Blueprints

Rick Sternbach, one of our favorite Star Trek illustrators, is selling off four of the master blueprints for Star Trek Voyager. These are big 24" x 36" blueprints on vellum. I love this stuff and think they are all well worth the price. You can find them here.

OK, I hate this design, but I know many of you love it.


The Voyager prototype.


Delta Flyer


I LOVE the Equinox as it looks like the same evolution as my beloved Enterprise "E"

One last chance at Star Trek Christie's Catalogs!

The Christie's Star Trek Catalog is still available from Andrew Rose, aka The Catalog Kid.

If you don't already own this two volume set, then what cave have you been living in????

This is THE starting place for any Star Trek Prop & Costume collector. Andrew is offering a very good price of $ 40, which includes the two catalogs, two of the tickets to the auction, and media mail shipping. A true steal!

Just mention that you read about it here.

A Behind the scenes video worth watching

On the 10th Anniversary of DeForrest Kelley's death, this is one video worth watching.

A Blog you should be reading!

There is no doubt that the best Star Trek Blog on the Internet right now for us fans is Doug Drexler's Drex Files. Doug Drexler s an academy Award winning makeup artists for Dick Tracy, who went to work on Star Trek: The Next Generation and moved from make-up to Art Director.


His blog, which he updates daily (yeah I know, he puts me to shame) is a passion for Doug, who is trying to memorialize all the info he has stuffed in his considerable brain. This blog is a MUST READ for all you Trek prop & costume fans.

The Picard "First Contact" Monitor

I picked this prop up a couple of months ago and Brett Jones is now restoring it. He got it working today. If you have props that need repair, Brett is the guy to go to. He will charge you a reasonable hourly rate and the guy is a freaking artist!

Star Trek on IMAX

Well, I went to see Star Trek on IMAX last weekend and it was VERY impressive. This was the third time I have seen the new Star Trek movie, which I totally love. And while I am not a huge IMAX fan, the scenes of the Enterprise and Kelvin in IMAX are worth the price of admission alone.

New Space Dock is way cooler than the old!

I was always open minded towards the new Star Trek. I said as far back as Star Trek: Nemesis that STar Trek needed an entirely new direction. My friends remember me saying "We need Michael Bay doing Trek!". Well, fortunately we did better, getting JJ Abrahms, rather than Micahel Bay (hmmm, same writing crew though!). I am not a huge fan of Transformers, though it was cool. But JJ hit all the right notes in the new Trek. I love the actors, and the new Spock. Scotty is awesome and Karl Urban kills as Bones. Of course I hate the engine room, but I will give JJ that.

Robau kicks ass!

We want to see more of the other Starfleet ships!

So if you have a chance, support the new Trek and see it more than once, and in IMAX if you can!
