A nice example of a model built from dumpster leavings.
When visual effects was out of dough, they knew they could count on us to kludge something together out of found objects and dumpster leavings. Dan Curry approached Mike Okuda about us bashing together a quickie model of a section of Utopia Planitia for the Voyager episode “Lifesigns”. “It’s gonna be tiny, and on the horizon,” explained Dan, “so don’t stress over it too much.” Is he kidding? Anthony and I put this together in two days, and had a lot of fun along the way.
Dude, the buildings in the middle look like Daleks.
Dude, the buildings in the middle were sewage strainers. We used them all over DS9! – Doug
I remember seeing parts of this model for sale on the eBay auction. I believe the tall building was made from a bird feeder
Wow 2 Days?! I assume you mean 52 hours?
I would love to see these sewage strainers. Don’t suppose you could find them on homedepot.com (or someplace) and link to them? Anyway, very nice!
Sewage strainers I would think would come in handy during any meeting with studio personnel. Probably cheaper than hip waders.
And turn the page; speaking of which…, LOL.
Great FO job dudes!
