20 September 2009 | WARBIRD IN BAY

Andrew Probert’s impressive contribution to the 2010 Ships of the Line calender depicts a mighty Romulan Warbird undergoing refit at “Station Gray.”

At Mr Probert’s website, you can see a larger version, as well as a detail picture that reveals just how meticulous this science fiction veteran goes about drawing his visions of the Star Trek universe—drawn all by hand, mind you, which is quite a spectacular thing in these days of digital art, CGI and what-not.

20 September 2009 | SHIPS OF THE LINE 2010

Over at his blog, Doug Drexler has posted some of the outstanding artworks that are to be featured in the upcoming Ships of the Line calender.

One of the artworks depicts the magnificent Earth Spacedock under construction in a piece by Robert Wilde entitled “We Come in Peace For All Mankind.” To learn more about the design of the station that was introduced in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, read our article “Earth Spacedock” which features concept art and photos of the model.

1 September 2009 | NEW PHASE II PHOTOS

Courtesy of Mr Pierre Fontaine, we present two photographs of the bridge and engineering sets of Star Trek: Phase II under construction which were originally printed in Fantastic Films magazine in August 1978.

The pictures have been added to our “Phase II interiors” page where you also find many Mike Minor sketches for the Phase II bridge, sickbay and recreation room as well as photos of the Engineering set as it was built and filmed before the project was abandoned to make way for The Motion Picture.
