Below are some detailed images of a large 61" x 61" x 11" filming miniature, which features an approx. 39" diameter Dominion outpost structure surrounded by faux mountainous terrain intended to represent a portion of the planet Trelka V; that was screen used in the memorable 7th season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Once More Unto the Breach" (first airdate: Nov. 11, 1998). The outpost section is created from resin, vacuformed plastic and plastic sheeting and features a unique, semi-Cardassian design and paint scheme; while the planetary landscape region is composed primarily of dense foam. Functional fiber optic lighting runs underneath the outpost model.
This filming miniature was part of the collection of Star Trek VFX Supervisor
Gary Hutzel, and was recently on display in the Tropical Room at the Rio
Suites Hotel in
Las Vegas, Nevada during the Creation Official 2015 Star Trek
Convention; where it was offered as Lot 2 in the Propworx Star Trek
Auction VI event that took place live from the floor of the Rio on
Sunday, August 9th. It realized a final sales price of $7,080 (including an 18% buyers premium).
