#StarTrek #tos reruns started over at the beginning this weekend on @metvnetwork. So I decided to watch the series over again in real time...for the first time in a long time. I think one a week is a pace I can maintain. This week, the premiere episode: “The Man Trap” Enjoy the salt vampire goodness! #saltvampire #mantrap #spacehappy #metvstartrek https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrvJ-bBGxR/?igshid=jtxjvbaee1so

Happy 50th to Star Trek! This is my little piece of Trek-adjacent lore. While at KNB in the late 90's, I had the pleasure of sculpting the head and hands for this display model of the Salt Vampire from the first televised episode of Trek 50 years ago tonight, "The Man Trap". In addition to the Vampire we also built an impressive Gorn. They were part of a themed display for a Paramount Store similar to the old Warner Bros. Studio Store. Unfortunately, the operation folded before we were able to create more figures. I was heavily lobbying to sculpt a Talosian! #startrek #startrek50th #happybirthday #saltvampire #themantrap #gorn #knbefxgroup
