Among the 1,300 lots of original props, there is a lot of space fiction. From Star Wars to BSG and Trek, please come to see what I'm installing in The Spaceshipper Headcanon Museum. 🖖

I'll start with my favorite lot, and this fantastic V'Ger model from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

I've never seen it before.

We stay with TMP. Who doesn't need a "Space suit prep squence"?

4 years later: Return of the Jedi & this Ackbar head casting 😍

Dedicated to @AdmiralNick22 obviously ✊

Then this wonderful Ackbar prototype mask.

Don't laugh, it's a step in the process and I love it. 😌

Now you can laugh with this Hand-drawn Y-wing pilot cut-out for animatics. With ILM cameraman Peter Romano as the star.
