Wish I could tell you. I was designing things, but didn't really keep track of what happened with the miniatures after sketches and blueprints left my desk. The only Klingon ships I worked on were the Vor'cHa and the Negh'Var.

Oh, I have hirez files, but I don't hand those out, sorry. But thanks for the nod. 😊

Well, cetaceans certainly seem to know 3D movement pretty well, so I figured it would be interesting to invite them nicely to join us. There are, of course, humans on the big ship as well. 🙂 Painted back in the mid-'80s, and based on a space-suited Tursiops I did in 1975 or so.

When I was at Paramount, probably at the start of TNG, Kimble came by we talked for a while about his inking and airbrush techniques, and he gave me a few sepia prints of the poster line work. Amazing. I still read through his article in Airbrush Digest occasionally.

Very cool. But my visual brain freaked out just a teeny bit; the camera is stationary in space with respect to the light source and the object is rolling underneath. Get that ship into a proper orbit, man. 😉

The first time I saw "First Spaceship on Venus" was at like 2am on a local station (late 70s?). What hit me was the circular bridge with consoles around, main viewscreen, two central control consoles, international crew. Hmmm... 😀

Yes. Yes I did. 😊

Thanks! Fun assignment back in the day. Also did the cover for the Caedmon "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. Not my best human figure, but liked doing it anyhow. 😁
