It was fried fish and clam chowder friday at Paramount, and we had just got the advanced rough draft of #009. The story called for an alien attack vessel and little shuttlecraft to pick up some cargo off of a planet’s surface. Being that it was seafood day it was only appropriate to base this one off of something nautical. Crossed between a catfish and a sunfish, came the first ideas. The early concepts were accepted and more detailed versions were produced. Dorsal blades and twin pectoral fins were tied together in both the main vessel and the shuttle craft to keep the architecture in line. The next meeting gave a go-ahead for another version of both shuttle and starship – minus the wings and fins. Somehow the upper twin blades snuck thru to the model… SHHHHHHHH I have no idea how this happened! HAAA! Anyway, the final products turned out OK but the heavy tie-in between the two ships strayed a bit, but not enough to separate the aesthetics. Here are the sketches and be sure to visit Drex Files to see the CG model of this one. Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!!!
