Edmund J. Miarecki (born 2 October 1953; age 56), credited as Ed Miarecki, is a model-maker and artist whose work has been featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation and other subsequent spin-offs. He built two proto-Nebula-class kitbash models featured in the early appearances of that design, namely that of the USS Melbourne, among many others. His other contributions include the USS Kyushu, USS Buran, USS Ahwahnee, USS Chekov models for TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", the Galor-class for TNG: "The Wounded", pattern work on the USS Enterprise-C and USS Enterprise-D, the Galaxy-class main shuttlebay for TNG: "Cause and Effect", medical tricorders that first appeared in TNG: "Transfigurations" and the type 2 phasers first appearing in TNG Season 1.[1]
Miarecki has had the privilege of working on Star Trek models from a bygone era. In 1991 he refurbished the original 11-foot USS Enterprise filming miniature used in Star Trek: The Original Series for display at the Smithsonian, as well as the D7-class Klingon ship and the Tholian model used in TOS.
He is credited as a model maker for Star Trek: First Contact, where he "did pattern work for the 10-foot USS Enterprise -E as well as work on the "Borg cube", "Borg sphere", and "Phoenix" miniatures." [2]
In addition, Miarecki had also contributed model-work to such science fiction and action films as Starship Troopers, Judge Dredd, Event Horizon, Eraser, and X-men.
