Presented below are some detailed photos of a rare K7 Space Station Dome Section filming miniature that was screen used in the celebrated Deep Space Nine 5th season
episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" (first airdate: November 4, 1996) and is now offered as Lot 2 in the upcoming February 21st, 2015 Propworx Star Trek Auction IV on LiveAuctioneers. "Trials and Tribble-ations" was created as a special 30th anniversary tribute to the Original Series and featured many highly enjoyable
special effects scenes in which the DS9 characters, while undertaking a time travel mission into the past, were inserted into TOS
footage from "The Trouble with Tribbles" episode and were seen to
interact with the crew and the events of that Original Series adventure.
This K7 Dome Section was built by Academy Award nominated model-maker Greg Jein and is constructed primarily of fiberglass and resin with additional small plastic detailing. It features custom made graphics and a working light on the top. The interior of the dome houses a fluorescent lighting system, the functionality of which is untested. The model measures 6" x 6" x 14" and remains in excellent condition. It comes directly from the collection of Star Trek VFX Supervisor Gary Hutzel.
