Wow, very ambitious project! How are you going to do the body costume? Just don't do what the movie costume/props department did. When they made the costume for Alice, the material they used shrunk so it was actually too small for her. They shot a few scenes with her wearing the painfully small suit :eek but then they made her a new one that didn't shrink.
Oh, I found this image: Unimatrix Zero
It's from a Voyager episode, but I think they probably kept the movie and tv prosthetics the same, or close enough. Hope that helps.

Excellent pic.. thanks.. The difference between the Voyager queen and the Enterprise one is the top clear plastic "tower" that's in the middle between the loom wires.. AND it has LED lights in it.

Well.. I found his address and was able to send him an email to the sculpture who made the BQ bust and he was so kind enough to email me some photos of the clamps.. here's what he sent me:
He even provided me with a diagram and measurements :banana:
What a great guy :biggrin:
I did some work on her last night.. nothing to brag about.. I was simply re shaping the head to make it more symmetrical.

Thanks.. any helpful advice? Should I use a wire armature?
If the whole thing is going to be clay I'd say yes, but if you'r able to piece it together with existing parts maybe not. I don't think that answer helped. So for future thoughts of molding it I would definately do anything to make it as strong or anything to maintain the integrity of the shape as much as possible--so a wire armiture is a good idea.

I finally picked up a pair of mirrored contact lenses for this costume... they don't photograph well, but I must say.. these look very freaky! I wore them over the weekend to aHalloween Party.

These lenses will enhance this costume once it's complete!!!
