Is that a good or bad thing??

A good thing

Speaking of the TAS--it seems a muscle car version of the TOS

I've been watching HGTV's A Very Brady Renovation the last few weeks, where the Brady cast and various HGTV hosts attempt to renovate the house used for exterior shots on The Brady Bunch into a duplicate of the TV show's sets. I was very amused to find out that the chairs around the Brady's kitchen table were Burke Chairs of the same type used on the bridge of the Enterprise. I guess they were still readily available in 1969.

Yes. That was filmed on the Paramount lot beginning around the time Star Trek was ending.

Maybe the same chairs?

 

[feek61]

No, not the same chairs. The TOS chairs were cut to allow the backrest to fit properly so it would be easy to see the back lip hacked off.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

Yeah, if they were commonly available, I'm sure it would be much easier to just buy new chairs instead of undo all the changes the TOS set designers made.

My parents had a set of 5 chairs with matching round table, like the Brady set. Round bases on all.

 

[plynch]

The base is the give-away iirc, whether it is round or a cross. (Saarinen v Burke)
At least on the chairs. Someone w/ more expertise will weigh in, I'm sure.

Don't sell yourself short, there. I believe you're "on the mark" about the difference between brands.

 

[aridas sofia]

Saarinen was the Tulip Chair designer. Knoll was the manufacturer. IIRC, the designer of the Star Trek version was Maurice Burke, and it was manufactured by Arkana.

Maybe in the UK, but the manufacturer was Burke Inc. of Dallas in the US.

I thought they couldn't cut them because they were rented? Or was that just for the pilots?

I have the stopper but the cork needs to be replaced.

There's someone selling a 3d stopper along with the "cork" on Ebay (or maybe Etsy?)
To reproduce one yourself, It's just a solid piece of wood cut on a bias.

 

[Fred1701]

Check out this post in the thread Props Re-used

Yes!

I'm an avid collector of TOS Barware, what did you want to know?

I don't need the stopper. I just have to rip out the broken cork and replace it.

 

[kennysmith]

I am not no stopper, did anyone else who want to build a real star ship on the ground?. I am looking to do this subject.
If you want to talk with me I will be glad to here back from you soon?. I am looking into things for the land right now. I will like to get you and I together to?.

Oh... Me too...Lol!!

I have a few tops laying around with their cork remnants and a bag of corks of various sizes...
Just one of those projects that get pushed to the back of the pile!

So, as I'm putting the finishing touches on my TMP/TWOK engineering sets, I've set my sights on returning to TOS Land for a while to scratch a certain itch I've had while watching episodes of TOS and STC.

Without giving too much away right now, I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of texturing this is called....and where I might find examples of it in the real world. I surmise it is some sort of fabric pattern, but my knowledge of the world of fabrics is rather limited. I'm not quite sure how to even describe it. The pattern has an almost "zebra" like quality to it.

It can be seen on the ceiling of the transporter chamber in Season One:

And notably on the walls of the briefing rooms of the two pilots:




Any ideas? I'm looking to replicate the pattern via textures and materials in Unreal, but am at a loss of where to find real world examples of this so I can perhaps extract the pattern via images found online.

It actually looks like the kind of satin moire pattern that you see on old wedding dresses or jewelry box liners.

This helps a lot! Thanks!

Based on some preliminary searching, it looks like this type of fabric may be very similar to what was used: https://www.arte-international.com/en/collections/vertigo/moire/15007
