I love these retro Star Trek Prints from Etsy seller bensmind. They feature all of the various incarnations of the show and they have the right amount of retro. The colors really pop. At only $19.99 a piece you can’t go wrong decorating your own bridge with these fine works of art.
Each poster/print is individually and personally numbered and signed on the back.
We all have our favorite Doctor and most of us can quote our favorite Doctor’s very first and last lines. But do you know the other Doctor’s lines? Well, this handy chart should help. It shows all of the Doctor’s incarnations along with the first and last lines spoken.
I think they technically got a few wrong, but I may just be nitpicking. This brings back some fond memories. The 4th and 10th Doctor’s last words always get to me. How many did you remember?
Even though Stanley Kubrick did not exclusively make Sci-Fi films, he did as much as anyone for the genre. More than most in fact. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a masterpiece. So it is no wonder that he is being celebrated at San Francisco’s Spoke Art Gallery.
Check out some of the art that celebrates the great director’s work below. The man continues to inspire all of these years later. These images are amazing. If you are in the area, check out the show and be blown away.

Sideshow Collectibles makes some great Alien figures, but this latest announcement is for one of the coolest Alien collectibles ever. The Alien Space Jockey Alien Maquette is arriving in late 2015/early 2016 and boy is it beautiful.
It measures 21″ H x 18″ W x 23″ L and is based on the character in Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien. Take a look at some of the images. The detail on this thing will blow you away. Totally worth the $599.99 asking price.
Long before Prometheus uncovered the origins of the Engineer and his species, the mysterious ‘Space Jockey’ captured the imaginations of movie-goers around the globe. First encountered by the doomed crew of the ship Nostromo, the haunting discovery of the enormous lonely star gazer remains one of the most memorable moments in the Alien franchise. Based on the iconic bio-organic industrial designs of Swiss artist H. R. Giger, Sideshow’s artists have faithfully captured every detail of the fossilized sentinel, a tragic traveler who fell victim to his own lethal cargo and was forever frozen, trapped in time and space.
If you have the stomach for it, this in-depth look at one of the most shocking moments in cinema is worth your time. The chestburster scene in Ridley Scott’s Alien is a classic. Seeing that newborn xenomorph explode out of John Hurt’s torso was just amazing. The other actors on set were never warned about the eruption ahead of time.
In CineFix’s Art of the Scene series, they look at Alien’s chestburster scene in detail. It’s very enlightening and worth a look if you are a fan of the film.

These Star Wars Kids Art Prints are adorable. They are the work of Etsy seller octopustreehouse and they feature many of our favorite characters as kids. Like Boba Fett at a birthday party, the Wampa monster having a “sick day”, Jabba The Hutt at a carnival, the Rancor monster in a candy store and more.
They are perfect for a kids room or just as cool Star Wars art on your own wall. I love all of the little details. It’s what makes these images so cute and funny.
LEGO the final frontier. This is an amazing replica of the original U.S.S. Enterprise in LEGO. It is even more amazing when you consider that it was built so that all of the little studs are not visible. It was created by LEGO wizard and Star Trek fan Chris Melby.
He used 18,000 LEGO bricks and worked on it for 8 months. It measures over five feet long and these images just blow me away. Too bad we don’t have any official LEGO Star Trek sets.
Etsy seller Nerdscapes is all about just that. Nerdscapes. The seller takes thrift store art and modifies each piece into nerd works of art that never existed before, but that we all want to own and admire.
The Blue Boy and Pink Lady paintings become a Sandperson and Admiral Ackbar. How about AT-ATs in the Alps? The TARDIS and Daleks in a landscape? A painting of the original Star Trek Crew, with Wesley Crusher dreaming that he is Kirk? There’s something for everyone here and it is all fun. Even Firefly in the old west.
The original miniature model of the USS Enterprise is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned. It is now being readied for display in its new home in the new Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
It is currently at the Udvar-Hazy Center, where it is being looked over by the restoration team to see what needs to be done. They are looking at how well it has held up, how well past restoration has fared and generally scrutinizing her. Recently the Center had an open day, where people could check out the Enterprise model and so we have some cool images like the ones seen here. After all of these years, she remains a beautiful ship.
This home built scale model of an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer was made by Fabio Delfino. It’s pretty stunning and even has a ton of tiny lights all over as well as sound. The model is based on the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic books and it was built with over 3000 pieces.
You are the man Fabio. You should definitely be working for the Empire.
