Model maker whose workshop, Brazil-Fabrication and Design, built several of the best-known studio miniatures of the 1990s series, including the Deep Space 9 station, the Defiant and the starship Voyager.
Tony Meininger ran the model shop Brazil-Fabrication and Design, which the Star Trek art and effects departments turned to when new hero miniatures were needed in the 1990s.
For Deep Space Nine his team built the large, internally lit filming model of the Cardassian-designed station from the art department's drawings, and later the miniature of the USS Defiant introduced in The Search.
His shop also constructed the principal physical model of the USS Voyager for Star Trek: Voyager, used throughout the early seasons before computer-generated versions took over.
