The Leviathan Teaser Trailer

This proof of concept trailer is pretty mind blowing. The Leviathan is a sci-fi monster movie from Oscar-nominated director Ruairí Robinson. We hope this ends up being made, because it is awesome! He created this short trailer in order to convince others that he has a strong vision for this movie. Movies like this aren’t cheap after all.

It’s about humans who hunt giant flying whale creatures above the clouds with laser blasters and other weapons. All I can say is, give us 2 more hours of this please! Check it out below and let us know what you think.

By the early 22nd century mankind had colonized many worlds. Faster than light travel was made possible by harvesting exotic matter from the eggs of the largest species mankind has ever seen. Those that take part in the hunt are mostly involuntary labor.

Stunning Paper Model Of The Millennium Falcon

Sometimes you look at a paper model and it’s easy to admire the fine craftsmanship, and sometimes an artist takes things to a whole new level and you are just blown away. This Millennium Falcon is made almost entirely out of paper. It’s 99% paper and 1% LED lights and fiber optics on the interior. Basically it is a masterpiece of paper engineering and design.

It took Polish artist Bernard Szukiel four years to complete it using photos as reference. His devotion is as inspiring as the finished product. No detail has been missed. It has the LEDs and fiber optics inside, even the scratches on the paint are accurate. Bernard you are a true master craftsman!

Han Solo DL-44 Blaster Prop Replica

If you fancy yourself smuggler enough to wield this Han Solo Blaster prop replica, you better live up to Han Solo himself and not let Greedo shoot first. This is a super nice replica with intricate details you’d expect in a more expensive piece.

I have seen a ton of fan-made blasters, but this one is a true gem. It is perfect for cosplay or just to hang on the mantle. This one is a steal at $149. from JohnsonArmsProps.

Live Long And Prosper: A Spock Tribute

It’s been a few weeks since Leonard Nimoy passed away and it is going to take time to come to terms with that if you are one of the many people that he touched. Argentinian artist Juan Miranda created this stunning retro tribute to the original Vulcan.

We will never see another soul like his again. Kirk was right. His was the most human. And as long as we remember him, he is not really dead.

Behind The Scenes Look At Star Trek’s Enterprise-E, Argo, Scorpion And More

If you are a fan of the USS Enterprise E, you were likely very disappointed that after it’s debut in First Contact, the model was never seen on-screen again, since at that point the films went fully CGI. Well if you want to see the model in glorious detail, you can thanks to Prop Store. It was photographed by one of the ILM crew members.

Below you will also see some other TNG movie era behind the scenes stuff. You likely have never seen the ship quite like this. The model is exquisitely detailed and I have to say I have a whole new appreciation for this ship. It’s never been one of my favorite ships, but here I can see that she really is quite lovely.
