I am not sure, but I think I may have mentioned here at the Anchorage that I managed to pick up most of the first wave of Johnny Lightning's Star Trek miniatures. (I have all the ships in the first wave except NX-01 Enterprise.) The ships are TOS Enterprise, TOS Shuttlecraft, TOS Klingon Cruiser, TOS Romulan Bird of Prey, and USS Reliant from Wrath of Khan. (Like I said, I lack only NX-01 in this collection.)
Anyhoo...with halfway decent lighting, and even a cheapoid 20 dollar digital vidcam, these ships make ok photographic models for effects shots.
I just completed my first FX shot with the Classic Enterprise (NCC-1701...no bloody A.B.C. or D......or E for that matter ) It did not turn out too bad at all.
I am going to make a "What if" mini movie of The Wrath of Khan, where Khan learns how to take the Reliant back in time, using the slingshot effect, back to just after the old Enterprise breaks from orbit after dropping Khan and Co. off at Ceti Alpha V. The Reliant is basically going to tear the living daggit stuffing out of Kirk's old Enterprise.
This will be my most ambitious project yet.
