We were talking briefly the other day on the Skype call about Richard Coyle's contribution to some of the actual filming props from the Star Trek films. Here is a link to his still work in progress blog showing pictures of his work and him actually on the set of various films. Having now met the guy and buying some of his props, this was a fun look back and it's cool to see some of the things he made and the stories behind them.
