STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE




 

CARDASSIAN REPLICATOR


This is the working Cardassian Replicator used in Ops on DS9, it lights up when plugged into a wall outlet.  This replicator was used throughout all seven seasons of DS9.


 
 
The two screencaps above are from the episode "Civil Defense", where an old Cardassian Security program causes the replicator to replicate a device that shoots at any non-Cardassians in Ops.

STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION



PICARD'S CIVILIAN TRICORDER


When I purchased this item it was listed in the Profiles in History catalog as an engineering tool.  Even though I could not find it in any of the engineering scenes in the Next Generation I purchased it any way because no one else was bidding on it and it lit up, which was pretty cool.  The leds that you see on the top light up in a random pattern and on the front end there are pulsating lights, just like the end of a federation tricorder!




After watching a few episodes, I finally spotted my item in this scene a few years after I bought it (can you spot it?):

 
 
Yes, it's the item on the right side of the screen in the foreground!  I was happy, but while seen on screen it was still just a set dressing piece and not a hero used piece until I saw these screen caps!
 
 

 
 
Turns out that this is a civilian tricorder that Picard uses to scan the Klingon for the final artifact!  A very cool find!!!!
 
 

WORF'S UNIFORM

 
This is an intentionally distressed two piece uniform worn by Michael Dorn as Worf. The comm badge on the front of the uniform and rank pips on the collar are also screen used items.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This uniform is really huge!  I have it hanging from the outside top of a closet door in my Trek room and it still touches the floor!

STAR TREK IV - THE VOYAGE HOME




MAJEL BARRETT RODDENBERRY'S STARFLEET UNIFORM


This is Majel Barrett Roddenberry's maroon Starfleet uniform as worn in Star Trek IV.  I need to stuff the arms and pantlegs, but wanted to get pictures of it up as soon as possible!  I have been looking for a maroon uniform for years, and had also been looking for something of Majel's for quite a while, and then this piece came along and took care of both items on my "want" list!



 
 
I now have a reproduction pin for the shoulder strap, just need to take a picture of it!
 




SPOCK'S EAR TIPS



These are a pair of screen used Spock ear tips from Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home.  Many of these ear tips were used on the film as they filmed Leonard Nimoy's scenes.  These tips were obtained directly from Teresa Victor, Leonard's assistant for 19 years.


These ear tips still have makeup on them from use in the film!

STAR TREK V - THE FINAL FRONTIER


DR. MCCOY'S COMMANDO UNIFORM


Here is a costume worn by DeForest Kelley as Doctor McCoy in Star Trek V.  This is his Starfleet commando uniform as shown in the film.  It is tagged inside with labels containing De Kelley's name and has a paper hang tag stating "BB - DeForest Kelley".


The belt and the belt buckle are reproductions to complete the uniform;  the rest of the uniform is screen used.


Here are some screen caps showing the costume in use:




SCOTTY'S TRANSPORTER TOOL



This tool was used by James Doohan as "Scotty" to try to repair the transporter late in the movie.  The tool lights up when the red button is pressed.

 
Here is the scene where Scotty uses the tool to try to fix the transporter, in the movie you can see him come out from under the transporter pad and turn this tool off!
 

 
This is definitely one of my favorite props!

STAR TREK VI - THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY




KIRK'S KLINGON TRANSLATOR

Here we have a Klingon Translator used in the courtroom scene in Star Trek The Undiscovered Country.  Kirk and McCoy are tried in the death of the Klingon Chancellor and sentenced to Prison on Rura Pente.  During the trial, they must use translators to understand what is happening in the courtroom.  This translator was screen matched by a friend of mine to one of the translators used by William Shatner as Captain Kirk during the filming of that scene.  And to boot, the lights still work once I changed out the battery!


 

 
 
As I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine, Don Hillenbrand, screen matched this piece to one used by Kirk in this scene.  As Don also has a translator that is screen matched to a Kirk used piece, it appears that the propmaster in the movie did not keep track of which actor was using which translator during filming, meaning that my translator could have also been used by De Kelley (Dr. McCoy) too!
 
 
This is one of my "grail" pieces for sure!!!

KLINGON MASK

 
 
This incredible full head Klingon mask was used in Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country, during the courtroom scene when Kirk and McCoy are put on trial that involved around 200 Klingons. In order to dress that many actors in Klingon makeup, the background actors in the upper balconies wore these full faced masks to make the process quicker than actually attaching individual prosthetics to their faces. This latex head has been completely painted and airbrushed with hair attached behind the forehead ridges and braded at back of the head. Facial hair has been added for eyebrows and a two part beard. Under the hair at the back of the head is a concealed Velcro strip to allow the wearer to take the mask on and off more easily.
 
 
 
 
 

 

UHURA'S EARPIECE

 
 
This earpiece was used in various Trek films including "The Undiscovered Country", made specifically for Nichelle Nichols as "Uhura".
 

 

 

 
 

KLINGON DICTIONARY

 
This dictionary was used by Uhura to translate Klingon in order to pass by the Klingon outpost on the way to Rura Pente to rescue Kirk and McCoy.  This prop is just a regular textbook whose cover has been replaced by the Trek Art Department.
