This was a prosthetic I applied for season 11 Red Dwarf with the assistance of Francesca Burnedelli. The concept was designed by Chris Goodman and sculpted by Cliff Wallace whilst working for Millennium FX.
Captain Herring appeared in episode 4 "Officer Rimmer". The inspiration behind the design was that of a 3D printing jam, or in this case a Bio Printing jam.
Captain Herring was played by the very talented Stephen Critchlow.
