STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (1993)/STAR TREK ENCYCLOPEDIA (1994) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: Romulan Warbird Reference Model - A Romulan warbird reference model based on Gene Roddenberry's television series Star Trek. The crew of the USS Enterprise battled Romulan Birds-of-Prey on multiple occasions in the late 23rd century, including in the classic Season 1 episode "Balance of Terror" and Season 2 episode "The Deadly Years."

This resin model miniature comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda. It was built and hand-painted matte gray with blue window detailing and textured wings and weapons by renowned Star Trek franchise modelmaker Greg Jein to represent the technology used by Romulans during the Earth-Romulan war used exclusively in the Okudas' illustrated book Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future. Red square and circle decals are applied along the body, which is also hand-illustrated with graphite squiggles for added detail. The model exhibits a missing back left thruster detail, glue residue along the body, and flaking to the finish near its tail. Dimensions: 15" x 6.5" x 2.5" (38.25 cm x 16.5 cm x 6.5 cm)Though their long and celebrated careers in the Star Trek world began in features, Michael and Denise Okuda established themselves as franchise legends while working on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Michael became art supervisor on TNG, while Denise came on as a scenic artist during Deep Space Nine, roles they would continue to perform through Voyager, Enterprise, and the Next Generation films. Married in 1993, the Okudas are known as the driving forces behind the development of many of the now-iconic 24th-century technologies seen throughout the series, including the famous "Okudagrams" they created for the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) interfaces . Propstore is proud to present a selection of key memorabilia from the personal collection of one of the franchise's most important creative teams to the public for the first time.
