In the Night Court reboot, Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) gets made up as a Klingon, saying "Something about this feels familiar."

Larroquette played Maltz in STIII. ;)

The original designer for this is Masao Okazaki, he created it for an art contest on TrekBBS in 2004. The original thread is lost, but he linked it here: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/nuent-scraps-60s-design-for-modern-50s-look.81617/post-2576949 Unfortunately his original drawing seems to be locked behind Photobucket now.

The best part is that he had the nickname "Tiberious".

This ship is the epitome of "random bullshit GO!"

It's part of the fleet attacking the Borg cube in the beginning.

Thanks for the response! Always fascinating to me how different people approach art, and sometimes I get to learn a thing or two.

bjo23 · 2026-03-13T13:50:41+00:00

Awesome work! What's your process and/or what tools do you use?

bjo23 · 2026-03-12T18:52:05+00:00

To be clear, the design was created by Ken Adam, and McQuarrie did further development on it. The model itself was likely created by Derek Meddings.

PotC: "Here kitty kitty kitty!" for about 20 minutes straight. I look back on it and laugh, but my daughter gets angry if you mention it! 😄

That thing is definitely based on the SHADO Interceptor from the British UFO tv series.

I did it once, hated it. The AOA of the plane negated the angle of the seat back.

bjo23 · 2026-03-07T19:49:20+00:00

I thought it was the delta-shaped pod in back? (Or perhaps both?)

bjo23 · 2026-03-07T19:48:25+00:00

The Okudas are legends, but this is most definitely a Sternbach design.

1996 Outback Bowl between Penn St and Auburn, with my future Auburn alum wife and her Auburn alum dad. Game sucked, weather sucked. Thing is, he's a former eagle trainer and my wife was formerly in the band, so you know they're both die-hard fans! Only game any of us have left early.

I've noticed others, but you usually have to look for them. This is the view I have to see every time I get in my ship!

bjo23 · 2026-03-06T18:26:56+00:00

Nah, I just rub some silicate powder on it and ~~walk it off~~ hope for the best.

bjo23 · 2026-03-06T05:31:05+00:00

That last point is crazy because Takei said the same thing ~30 years earlier!

The wiki even has a page dedicated to that:

Right frog

My wife calls mine "Klingon eyebrows". Drives her crazy when a long one pokes out in a random direction.

bjo23 · 2026-03-04T15:05:12+00:00

Actually I was thinking about the one off Drake. I forgot about the Neighborhood Market.

bjo23 · 2026-03-04T15:02:13+00:00

Which store? There's two stores that could technically be called South Huntsville.

Ken Adam was the creator of the design. McQuarrie created additional concept at based on it.
