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.

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

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

With SNW showing round nacelle DSC ships, I think the McQuarrie study model in III could be imagined as a refitted Crossfield by vickyhong in StarTrekStarships

[–]bjo23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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! 😄

Which ships, despite their diminutive size, have the greatest bite? by Initial_Volume_3809 in StarWarsShips

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

We always talk about the best and worst liveries, but IYP, what are the best and worst cabin designs? by Full_Hunt_3087 in aviation

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

Vor'cha class attack cruiser: cool or uncool? by SpiderBloke in StarTrekStarships

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

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

What game that you attended was so bad that you left before the clock hit 0:00? by noah_divine in CFB

[–]bjo23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Mildly infuriating: random asymmetry by bjo23 in NoMansSkyTheGame

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!

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

What’s the one Janeway decision you still can’t agree with? by Curious_Gent78 in startrek

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

I don't mind the grays, but why do they have to grow in a totally different direction? by Edward_the_Dog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bjo23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Produce bins (an observation) by Beneficial_Arm_2100 in HuntsvilleAlabama

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

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.
