Our ships were all created using Macintosh hardware and off-the-shelf hardware, and they shared the screen with the beautiful, practical USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) and Borg cube miniatures. Several of those ships are original designs by Alex Jaeger, including my favorite, the Akira class.

I don’t have anything ready but it seems like a good time to post this (

A missed opportunity - we never had a TNG episode with variable gravity in the shuttlebay.

'The Next Phase' was an episode I bought on VHS so it's one I watched a lot more than most others as a kid. I remember being very impressed by the phasing effects, especially this scene with all the reflections in the engineering console… One of my favourite episodes, despite the nonsense premise.

The console from "Minds Eye" (left of Geordi) was reused as a console for "The Next Phase" seen in the post below.

Straightforward mission - locate the USS Brattain and bring it home.

The 5th year of the mission became much more relaxed after Captain Kirk introduced "Casual Friday" on the bridge

An unused static version of the passenger manifest from TNG 7x10 "Inheritance" One of the names is Dan Curry who worked on TNG as VFX Supervisor, Second Unit Director, Klingon Mok'bara choreographer, model maker and designer.

According to this TNG s4e03 LCARS, the USS Trieste is cannon (or at least the name is) TNG: USS Trieste NCC 37124 DS9: USS Trieste NCC 3724 Apparently its a Merced class (Spanish for "mercy" - medical ship?)

The Enterprise approaches the rogue Starship - its captain was wanted for 80 unpaid parking tickets at Station K-7

Unused D4 ship - Enterprise It was made for free by Koji Kuramura, who worked without sleep for several days. It was rejected by Rick Berman who demanded Koji add 10 more windows. Rob Bonchune refused to order Koji to do more unpaid work. So Berman ordered the reuse of DS9 K't'inga model instead.

Just to a thank you to everyone who wished me well. I am now over the worst of the illness, though feeling somewhat drained. Still resting up at the moment. I've included a small diagram showing exactly how I've been feeling this past week:

Picked up two HMS casting (The people who made the props for Star Trek) An Endgame Tricorder and the TNG Bug/parasite from Conspiracy. I want to make a 3D model of the Tricorder and make a display like in the Episode. I have the same case.
