Star Trek: Voyager Bridge Operations LCARS Panel

Presented below are some detailed photos of the large 61" x 21.5" Star Trek: Voyager (1995 - 2001) screen used LCARS display panel from Operations Officer Harry Kim's station on the U.S.S. Voyager bridge. The vintage TOS poster of Angelique Pettyjohn has been recently added to the display to occupy the blank space where a computer monitor was mounted on the Paramount soundstage to display motion graphics, and is not part of the original LCARS design. Some screenshots of this panel as seen in episodes of Voyager are shown after the modern day images...

Star Trek TOS Finnegan Silver Tunic from "Shore Leave"

Presented below are some detailed photos of a rare Starfleet Silver tunic worn by actor Bruce Mars in his role as Finnegan in the highly memorable and entertaining 1st Season TOS episode "Shore Leave" (first airdate: Dec. 29, 1966). This beautiful tunic features studio applied distress in the form of a tear by the rear right shoulder seam which can be screen matched to the fight scene between Kirk and Finnegan in "Shore Leave". Tunics of this style; traditionally referred to as cadet tunics, also made appearances on-screen in the 2nd season Star Trek: The Original Series episodes "Wolf In The Fold" and "The Trouble With Tribbles". Some screenshots from "Shore Leave" that document Bruce Mars wearing this particular tunic, as well as photos of other silver tunics in TOS are presented after the modern day images.

Special thanks to Star Trek collector Adam of New York for his gracious permission to display the numerous photos presented below of this outstanding costume. It should be noted that photography credits are due to the exceptional team at The Prop Store of London - Los Angeles (http://www.propstore.com); always a fine source for premium screen-used entertainment memorabilia.




















The studio applied distress at the right rear shoulder is evident in the following pair of screenshots from "Shore Leave" ...

Star Trek TOS Elasian Royal Guard Tunic & Armor from "Elaan of Troyius"

Presented below are some detailed photos of a rare Elasian Royal Guard Tunic worn by actor Chuck Beck in the memorable 3rd Season TOS episode "Elaan of Troyius" (first airdate: Dec. 20, 1968). This tunic is missing its chest and shoulder armor, but still retains two large armor pieces affixed to its back. Constructed from a shiny gold colored fabric and accented by the orange plates; this costume is one of TOS Costume Designer Bill Theiss's highly attractive creations for the series.

Always budget conscious, the Desilu wardrobe department obtained the orange material for the armor by utilizing off-the-shelf kitchen table plastic placemats.











Interestingly, little folded fabric swatches were used on the interior of the costume to help affix the plastic armor pieces to the tunic. As clearly seen in the following images, these small fabric inserts were created from 3rd season olive-green TOS command fabric. The characteristic double knit diamond weave pattern is very evident on these pieces...



Another interesting design characteristic of this costume is that it is equipped with the UNIQUE brand metal zipper that is traditionally found on screen used TOS Starfleet uniforms but is quite uncommon for alien wardrobe pieces...
