pengbuzz Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 From Rick Sternbach on Facebook: Quote Some of us had heard inklings earlier but the news is now out. Greg Jein has passed, and the film and miniature world is a better place for his having lived in it and contributed so much. I first got to meet Greg in the late 70s, and followed his exploits up to and beyond the times he and his colleagues brought some of my Star Trek ship designs to life. Thank you for your friendship, and your amazing talent. Link: https://www.facebook.com/rick.sternbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I confess I didn't who this fellow was; I followed the link (thanks @pengbuzz) and was rewarded with a pleasant article detailing the more notable of his contributions to films thru his effects work, which mostly consisted of spaceships, including numerous Star Trek films and tv shows and the mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. As a sci-fi fan, I've seen his work again and again over the decades to my great joy and wonderment, and I'm saddened by his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
