Worf's Kahless and Morath Statue
- Thread starter SgtFang
- Start date
Progress Report 2 - I did research to find all the Star Trek Next Generation episodes that the Kahless and Morath statue appeared in. It was 9 episodes total, and in a few of the episodes the statue was featured multiple times and was integral to the story. I also found it interesting how the statue was tied to moQbara' (Klingon Martial Arts) and how moQbara' was featured in tons of episodes. The stories and ways of Kahless was not just used to teach and raise Alexander, but helped Worf become a better Klingon, and he used his knowledge to help make the whole crew of the Enterprise stronger.
The Episodes: 407 Reunion, 426 Redemption Part 1, 510 New Ground, 520 Cost of Living, 616 Birthright Part 1, 618 Starship Mine, 711 Parallels, 719 Genesis, and 721 Firstborn

Sorry, about the delay in this project. I'm delayed because my business has exploded and I have not had a second to work on this project for a 1.5 years. This is one of the hardest objects to 3d scan and my skills and tools are limited. I live in Iowa and plan on donating the statue to the Star Trek Voyage Home Museum in Riverside, Iowa when Im done. They seemed interested. If they change their minds I can sell it to you.
Statue de Kahless et Morath
J'ai pris une certaine licence artistique et fait ressembler Kahless à Kevin Conway (l'acteur qui a joué Kahless dans TNG) pour qu'il soit plus précis que l'original. Celle-ci a été imprimée à l'échelle 1/2 sur un néo Ender 3.

I see a french artist has also attempted this project. Maybe I should reach out to him and give him my scan data.

Wow, that is amazing!
More Research - The first appearance of the Kahless and Morath Statue was in Season 2, Episode 21, "Peak Performance"
Not sure how I missed it. The Statue filled the screen with a closeup. It "Busted me up!"

I tried a bunch of methods to reach out to the Westmores this weekend, and get this...Michael Westmore called me today, and talked with me for a half hour. He wasn't really able to help me with my project (he didn't take photos, especially on a prop) but he did give me tidbits on the process of modifying the original statue. He has got to be one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. He also confirmed some questions I had about the process of makeup design on Star Trek. Michael Westmore is an absolute legend and has not received enough credit for his contributions to Star Trek.
It really was

Just saw that you reached out to Michael Westmore, that’s awesome! The statue was purchased by Richard James and it is likely modifications to it were done by the art department, since it would ultimately fall under set dressing, the prop master might have also modified it. I saw it as the original statue, then on set and don’t recall ever hearing any details about it. Great research in this thread!
