I haven't collected Star Trek figures for a million years (well...mid-90's). I had purged all of the old Playmates stuff years ago, but with my apparently unending Star Trek kick, I decided to pick up the really reasonably priced DS two packs ($60 and change snagged the main crew minus Chekov...not bad!). But what's the crew of the 'Prise without the Bridge?
First up is the big chair...I know DS made one, but I wanted to make it myself (cheaper this way too):
Pieced together the basic shape of the helm panel and astrogator, as well as the command platform:
Outer ring was mapped out on styrene sheet and cut out...lots of calculations and finagling with this one:
I really hope I have the fortitude to finish this...I'm a little scared about all of the screens and buttons and junk. I may follow it up with an "alien planet" environment (re: styro foam, plaster, and a purple sky background).
