Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors I'm probably coming in late (so apologies if some of this was covered in earlier posts), but given the heavy struts and the position & shape of the torpedo tube hatch, it looks like a lot of it is a redress of the Amar bridge.

It was also slightly different. I would suppose that when Rick Sternbach did the artwork for that book he didn't have access to the image used in TMP as a reference and had to make up details. Chronologically it was set after the Romulan War, so if one wants to stretch things they could be...

That's who the target market is: two dozen hardcore fans with money to burn for duplicates of a movie prop. Aaaannd afterward, if enough people took the bait (err... those pieces sold), odds favor that there'll be more "limited edition replicas" at lower prices, either making use of the same...

Nice to see this again!:bolian: I'd imagine there would be numerous sliding- and folding fixtures in order to keep common areas as multipurpose as possible, or just clear of clutter when not in use. Fold-down table, slide-out additional seating and countertops, etc., as in present-day boats and...

The Blish episode novelizations. First non-novelization was The Making of Star Trek, and first novel was Spock: Messiah.

An additional point: TFR follows the timeline of The Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, which at the time was the nearest thing to a historical Trek timeline. The Federation ships and many of the events were outlined in that book, which Ford then fleshed out for use in the story. And lets not...

It's been a long time since I've read it, but I recall something in The Making of Star Trek to the effect that Rodenberry (at least originally) envisioned everyone as equivalent to astronauts and therefore as officers. They slid around that with "crewman" and "crewwoman" for various roles that...

I think the "similarity" is more along the lines of two designers independently thinking certain configurations of shapes looked good.

As a point of information, then, the Traveller 5 Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/traveller5/traveller-5th-edition

I'd wondered what prompted a spate of downloads of the BR images. Nice model.

To me, it reflects an aspect of Starfleet decision-making: while it does shuffle people around due to organizational needs, it also recognizes the value of keeping good teams together, and the psychological aspects of the bonds that can form between longtime shipmates, where they become...

Re: Star Trek: Cast No Shadow Review Thread A lot of John M. Ford and FASA bits in the Klingons' characterization and equipment, though not mentioned in the Acknowledgments.

Re: Vanguard: Declassified Review Thread I just got done with it this afternoon. Most of my potential comments would be seconding, thirding, fourthing, etc. many of the things that have been said above. That said, I have a special shout-out of thanks to Marco for a couple of small details...

There's always the old standby: just ignoring an inconvenient throwaway detail and proceeding with the larger storyline. Not exactly my first choice, but I'm not the one who would be deciding such a thing anyway.

Andrew Probert sells prints of some of his work, including two of his previous SotL paintings. You might go to his website and send an inquiry if he intends to offer prints of this one too, at some point in time. http://probertdesigns.com/

That's one reaction. Other people will read it and think "What the hell are they talking about?". Milage varies.

For starters, it would confuse people who haven't seen the calendar.

The design isn't in the post-ENT novels for the obvious reason that it didn't exist when they were written. The description in the calendar implies it was done quickly at some time not too long after the end of the show. No mention of the Romulan War. I'm sure that could be elided a bit if...

Yes to the big Romulan vertically-oriented warbird. No to it being the centerfold.

Prior to 2143. A picture of it was on the wall of the 602 Club during the 2143 flashback scenes of "First Flight" (ENT).
