We welcome to the cave designer and illustrator Matt Cushman, the artist behind some of our favorite science fiction cutaway illustrations from Star Trek and Star Wars. Matt shares with Adam his new massive cross-section poster of the original USS Enterprise, sized as large as the original 11-foot filming model. We scrutinize the details of this incredible piece and learn all the ways Matt made sense of the interior layout based on what was shown in the original series episodes!
yeah take ST tech with a grain of salt. When I was a kid I went to the Star Trek Exhibit in Toronto and my Uncle bought me a set of blueprints of the Enterprise-D. In said blueprints some decks had massive tubes that contained fish/dolphins swimming around like Darwin on SeaQuest DSV. I have no idea what they were for or why they were even there.
