    Jul 28, 2011 - Ever been a garage kit released for V'Ger from ST:TMP? #1

    I've never seen any kind of kit for the Voyager 6 probe as it appeared in the film, which is kind of strange. Anyone know of anything ever put out in any market?

    I'd like to see one too. I never saw any of the real voyager probes either which i thought odd and could probably be modified.

    Do you have a specific studio miniature in mind? I know there was a 60-foot V'Ger model constructed for the film, but I'm assuming you don't mean that one.

    Ha - no, not the vessel built by the machine planet (Cybertron??) for the probe to complete it's mission, just V'ger it's self.





    found this pic on a site as the voyager series - if true, it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to tweak - because the creator must join with V'Ger !

    Well, those are pics of the set piece. Was there a studio miniature for V-Ger?

    I don't recall seeing a completed and "evolved" V'Ger miniature at the end of the film.

    Voyager

    I thought it came NASA, I've seen one of the Voyager back-ups at JPL. It's quite impressive, but like TMP they left off the 60' antennae.

    Very very cool - thank you. Now what needs to be done to get this thing like TMP - A base like the one in the movie would be cool.

    You could probably 3d print the bowl base that the voyager probe rests in. would look pretty cool.

    V'Ger is the name of the entire entity, not the Voyager probe itself.
    It's like giving your name to the sperm or the egg that started you.

    As for SS models, there was a Voyager one used in STV...

    Yeah, his name was Aldo and the Egg, she was called Nova - I always hear the song Life is just a fantasy in my head.

    The 3d print is a great idea - you mean like papercraft?

    I've only run across card stock model kits for Voyager 1 & 2.

    The Voyager Kit

    Of course it would need modification to be Voyaaaager Siiiix...
