[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jim NCC1701A: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb] So what happened to this film? I like the idea of the TOS/TWOK cross-over uniforms. Some names in there - Bill Conti - isn't he a big-time composer - did the orchestrations for the Academy Awards etc? Anyone seen this film? [/qb][/QUOTE]I asked Probert about it years ago - August 1998 to be precise. Specifically I was asking about the ship as I was interested in how it differed from the TOS and TMP designs. Here's Mr Probert's reply to my email... [b]"Jim, In a message dated 8/8/98 4:43:54 AM, you wrote:[/b] I read an article in a "Starlog" magazine, sometime in the mid 80's, about an unofficial 'Star Trek' film (I think it was called 'Yorktown II') that you were said to be providing some designs for. [b]Yep.[/b] The article included a drawing of a Klingon scout-ship, and credited you with designing the "Yorktown", which was described as being a mixture of the Original Series and Movie Era type starship. [b]Yes, well, it would be more of an intermediate design.[/b] I don't know if the movie was ever completed or screened , but I was wondering if you might still have some drawings or photographs of the "Yorktown", and if I might be able to obtain a copy of them? [b]Sorry, I can't lie to you, I do have them somewhere, but we just moved and I'd rather not dig for them through all the boxes, just now.[/b] If that isn't possible, could you tell me if the "Yorktown" design is anything like the "Enterprise" model that was being built for 'Star Trek - Phase II' [b]No. A friend built that model from parts of plastic hobby kits.[/b] (whatever happened to that model? Was it broken up, put into storage, or lost/stolen?). [b]I have no idea. I never actually saw the model, myself. The shots you saw were given to me when I worked on ST:TMP. Any way, I'm glad you liked what you saw. There may be a model of that Klingon fighter out, one day; I'm talking to someone about it. Write me back, in a few months and maybe you'll have better luck with your request, okay? Thanks, AndyP-"[/b] Well, I wrote him back some time later but never heard from him again *sniff* Was true to his word about the model of the Klingon fighter though, even if it did take 7 years... Tried to find the film maker, Stan Woo, but lucked out on that search too. And I still don't know what the [i]Yorktown[/i] looks like... Cheers! Jim. [/QB][/QUOTE]
