I'm Karen Schnaubelt, daughter of Franz Joseph (Schnaubelt), the author/illustrator of the STAR TREK Blueprints and STAR TREK Tech Manual from the 1970's.

I'm also an avid costumer and prop builder, and always looking for new techniques.

welcome Karen. I spent many a night dreaming about your fathers works and how cool to be the star trek 'verse.

Welcome to the forum. I still have those blue prints somewhere

By the way, I got into this by accident. I do low-budget props and decorations for charitable organizations. Space is usually an issue, so lots of wall decorations and backdrops with images from coloring page printed on overhead projector film. Slap it on the overhead and project on an appropriate medium and it made a quick ready-to-paint decoration. Then for a church with an organ that cannot be moved, they were doing a Bible School with a New York theme, so I was looking for images of famous buildings and taxi cabs, and found paper models. Doing the overhead projector thing, I now do a lot more 3-d decorations.

Just thought that story my stir some creative juices.

Welcome aboard! Paper is easy to work with, non-toxic, and allows for some really astounding graphics. Looking forward to seeing your creations.
