The overthruster keeps showing up as a prop in different shows. The last thing I remember seeing it in was the first episode of Season 3 of Babylon 5 as a control on Marcus' ship.
It truly is a shame that Mr Ekker didn't know where the mould was. There's a piece of custom merch whose time has surely come. I want my dashcam to be an oscillation overthruster. That goes deedle-ee deedle-ee when it gets switched on. A chap can dream... Many thanks for this - even more fascinating than the watermelon.

No matter where you go.....there you are...
Also I heard something like that in Diablo video game. Very poetic, but absolute fact.
Great to have this insight into an under-examined cult classic.
Exactly!
RIP Ron Gress. A true master.
It is very sad. He was really fun to interview, and had so many stories to tell about his work.

Went looking for this exact comment as soon as he said casually that he didn't know where it was anymore! 😭
I want an oscillation overthruster!
Great video...👍
Thanks!
Couldn't squeeze in a picture of the oscillation overthruster?
Maybe someday. Les Ekker didn't want to look for them right now. Most BTS photos from this era are packed away in boxes hidden in attics.
AAARGH FIND THE MOLD :)
I like the scale model of the watermelon, that must have been hard to make due to a real one being to dangerous to shoot.
Who builds the Model Figures
Figures?
