Summary

 * From the book jacket
 * Special bonus: a section that will show you how to re-create your own makeup as well as create your own props, using readily available items.


 * Words on paper. Without the resourceful, innovative, almost magical talents of the untold hundreds of behind-the-scenes people who have worked on Star Trek, those and countless other futuristic marvels would be just that - words on paper.  For years the major responsibility for making it all real for viewing audiences has fallen to people like Academy Award&reg;-winning makeup supervisor Michael Westmore and property master Alan Sims, and their incredible staff of artisans.  These modern-day dream shapers have guarded their award-winning secrets with national security-level caution... until today.


 * The veil of secrecy is pulled back in Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts. Through dozens of rare sketches, photographs, and designs, discover how those remarkable craftspeople made the fantastic vistas, creatures, and technology encountered every week. You'll be amazed at how low-tech some of these hi-tech wonders really are!


 * Who decided to make the Andorian blue? Of what was the belt on the original Klingon costume made?  Was the first phaser really a block of wood?  All your questions will be answered in Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts!
