Well I started playing with the second upload service!
With no visible instructions or links to instructions or links to anybody to give instructions it was a matter of trail and error, mostly error! I finally figured how to get my upload from there to a thread so now we see!
As a test to see how the pictures look, compared to the other service, I have chosen another little display I put together some years back!
I have always liked the Klingons, I think because they remind me of the Samurai of Feudal Japan in their spirit and their sense of honor!
And of them all I thought Gowron (portrayed by Robert O'Reilly) with his strange bulging eyes was the most charismatic!
I had the pleasure of meeting J.G. Hertzler, who portrayed General Martok, at a Comic Con in Novi Michigan some time back. He claimed that Robert O'Reilly was nothing more then an over rated hack, obviously a little friendly rivalry going on there! (I hope!)
The theme of the display is simple to anyone who watched DS9!
To those who did not Worf and Gowron did not get along to well and spent most of their time butting heads (sorry)! In fact it is Worf who eventually kills Gowron then claims the Chancellor hood for Martok!
The final battle did not look anything like what is pictured but I figured being Klingons they may have had many mock and not so mock battles to prove their metal!
I was taking Martial Arts at the time and thought a dojo styled display would add flavor and give me the chance to make some Klingon weapons to hang on the wall as show pieces!
Worf is as he came out of the box except I replaced his Bat'leth with a plastic copy as vinyl tends to droop! Gowron came with a knife and a holstered Disruptor (both metal) which I did not use. I gave him a Bat'leth also, keep it evenly matched.
Then I made a couple Mek'leths (Worf pulls one out fighting the Borg on the hull of the Enterprise in First Contact), two long spears, a double sided battle ax and a "copy" of Kahless's Bat'leth, if you watch DS9 you will know that the "real" one was found, then abandoned by Worf, Jadzia and Kor, played by the late John Colicos ! A trivia point here John Colicos was the first actor to portray a Klingon lead in the episode "Errand of Mercy" on the original Star Trek! And for you Battlestar Gallactica fans he was the original Baltar!
All the weapons are cannon! They have all appeared in TNG or DS9 at one point or another! They are also removable from the wall!
Now the wall itself! It started out as a plain grey wall with the Klingon emblem but I thought it stark and boring! After watching a show about Marble then seeing an episode where Kahless and Molor are mentioned it hit me!
Legend says that Kahless killed the tyrant Molor using the first Bat'leth!
So I decided that on that spot were Molor's blood was spilled Klingon Marble was born!
So I hand painted the wall blending colors to try and get the essence of Marble, but with an alien feel! The main problem was no one at Paramount could decide what color Klingon blood was so I ran thin lines of green and a reddish/pink throughout the wall! Overall I was very pleased with the second attempt!
Anyway, I am sure there a lot of you reading this going "is this guy for real?" Well yes and no! For everyone on this BB there is something about what they do that appeals to "them", some don't even know what "that" is but they do it anyway! For me it's the fantasy or the story behind the object!
So I'm nuts, I'm having a good time (usually) and I'm not hurting anybody, which is more than I can say for some! So enjoy what I have shown, make comments if you want and have some fun!
Later all, Petseal
