These are great! Is there another format you can import from? Technically, this isn;t a Star Trek film, so it's not really a Starfleet class... It's basically a cobbled-together ship that looks like a giant metal Mallard duck.
Here they are as a PDF, so at least you can see what they look like:

I was thinking of a Borgi-fied Daffy. 
Oh -- and the reason I'm not adding them later in post is because pretty much nothing in this film will be added in post. The only two greenscreen elements will be the main viewscreen and the spacehips -- which will be models.
We're going pretty old school on this project.

One of the cool things about puppetry is that you can do these crazy fantastic stories -- almost like you can do in animation -- but in real time. I think in a way, if we do a lot of post production, it'll take that "realism" out of the finished project. And, considering every character in the film is an 18-inch tall puppet, we need to keep all the realism we can get!
Most of our post production will be spent doing the sound, actually. That's one of the perks/drawbacks of puppets, too -- you can have different puppeteers work the puppets throughout the production -- but everything has to be dubbed later. On the plus side, lip synch is a lot easier, though.
