STAR TREK I: “STARFLEET ENGINEER’S WHITE RADIOLOGICAL COSTUME” – FORCED PERSPECTIVE

REFNUM: 9601

Description: A specialized Starfleet engineer’s white radiological costume featured in Star Trek I: The Motion Picture as part of the forced perspective engineering set but with the red trainee collar that wasn’t introduced until “The Wrath of Kahn”; these costumes were made intentionally small for child sized actors to appear far away when the set was in fact much smaller than it appeared. The costume is a white jumpsuit with a ribbed waist and elbows, silver-colored applications on the attached, white gloves and multiple accompanying unattached elements: a center chest accent, a red foam ribbed collar, , a pair of small sized operations orange division strips for the shoulders, and matching Starfleet emblem. This costume represents one of, if not the last of this sort of specialized ‘forced perspective’ orientation of the costume.
