| - Part of their responsibility was, under the supervision of Grant McCune, having their model shop build a number of studio models for the film, including a two-foot articulated thruster suit puppet, three models of the Epsilon IX station (an entirely original Apogee design), all the exterior sections of V'Ger, as well as extensively modifying Magicam's D7-class model for it to become the K't'inga-class model. The company nearly ceased its existence in the fall of 1982, when Dykstra dismantled the company due to the lack of commercial projects. However business picked up shortly afterwards, beginning with Clint Eastwood's movie Firefox (1982), and the company was revitalized (as Apogee Productions, Inc. from 1989 onward). [2] Ten years later, however, in late 1992, Dykstra closed down the company permanently when he left to join Los Angeles-based Eggers Films. [3] Grant McCune took possession of some of the equipment as well as the lease on the property, and restarted the company as his own under the name Grant McCune Design.
