Some are all in camera, shooting table top dioramas, while recently I started experimenting doing composite images with basic 3D Paint. I've been doing the best I can within the dingy confines of my basement where lighting conditions are far from ideal, something to keep in mind for the 3D stuff lol!

Junkyard in Space: Used lots of stuff from the old doodads box, should be some recognizable bits & pieces laying around.


It seems to me that the Space Pod always traveled across the screen right from left, not sure we ever saw it from the right side.


A different view of the Spindrift in space.


The Jupiter 2 coming in to land. This was the first time I used 3D paint, to removes the wires.

looks professional to me!

Thanks jkirk! Here are a couple more, first one is a diorama, and the second a composite.

Here's a change of scenery...

 

[StarshipClass]

Fantastic shots, man!

Too bad, IIRC, the J2 doesn't quite fit into the shuttle bay of the 1701. Would make an interesting "derelict" episode.

 

[Chuck Eds]

We'd have to settle for the Pod making a landing in the shuttle bay!

My Saucer Fleet: Photographed separately and scaled to relative sizes.

That shot of the J2 is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Chuck Eds]

Thanks Starship! That landscape is a place called the Hoodoos in NM. My goal in doing these is to show different settings then what we saw on TV. No stock footage here lol!
Here's the very first composite I did in 3D Paint, I shot the background along the coast here in northeast MA.



I found this background and just had to add the Jupiter 2. I had to crop out a bunch of penguins that were at the bottom of the image!

The surface of Mars standing in for an alien planet.


Mr. Chekov, what...do...you...think.... that is?

My scratch-built launch complex.

I really like all of them. I think the one that got me most was the one with the bridge shot of TOS and the saucer. Very creative. Great work! Keep them coming.

 

[Chuck Eds]

Thanks Dave! The background for this shot is from Fantasy Canyon in Nevada, which could easily pass for the otherworldly landscape of an alien planet.

 

[daytime dave]

I agree. It passes very easily as another world. Nice job.

This is the Red Tadrart desert in Algeria, aka Mars on Earth. Don't get much more alien looking than this!
