Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Jem Hadar Fighter Models In Propworx May 2015 Auction
These ships possess an insectoid-like appearance, consisting of a large main body with two thin warp nacelles at the sides. Typically, this class of vessel would be seen on screen in formation with other smaller ships; and so the individual models would feature less elaborate construction details than are present on some of the larger starship filming miniatures. Each Jem Hadar Fighter exhibits an iridescent purple paint scheme combined with red and gold highlights. The two warp nacelles feature a green luminescent paint that glows when subjected to black / ultraviolet light. Each model measures approx. 7" x 8" x 1" in size and has a hole drilled through the center of the ship from the top for mounting on a support rod during filming. These fighters remain in excellent, screen used condition and come directly from the collection of Star Trek VFX Supervisor Gary Hutzel.
The following images of the Jem Hadar models in Star Trek Auction V as well as similar miniatures that were part of the Hutzel collection are shown courtesy of Propworx and Doug Drexler.

Propworx May 30, 2015 Star Trek Auction V Preview
In just 9 days, the second of Propworx's three Star Trek memorabilia auctions for 2015 will take place in a live, online bidding session at LiveAuctioneers.com. As was the case for the February event, this sale will feature a spectacular array of costumes, props, artwork and production materials from across the franchise that are primarily drawn from the collections of Star Trek luminaries Gary Hutzel (VFX Supervisor), Joe Longo (Propmaster) and Ronald B. Moore (VFX Supervisor). And just like the first auction, the Propworx Star Trek Auction V will include an impressive offering of starship filming miniatures, the likes of which have not been made available to the public since the historic Christie's 40th Anniversary event in October, 2006. Included in the group of filming models to be offered, with a bid estimate of $25,000 - $35,000, is the huge 12 foot long Enterprise D Saucer Section miniature that was screen used in the seventh major feature film of the franchise, Star Trek: Generations (1994), for the memorable crash landing scene on the planet Veridian III.
