Guess I'll bump the thread by sharing my Khan costume that I made for my Superhero+Sci-Fi birthday party this past weekend. Took about 4 days, not counting the weeks of leisurely popping into fabric stores to see if they had any appropriate fabric 
I put my breakdown of materials and what I did in a separate thread here.

Nice job! You don't see many Kahn costumes and yours is definitely one of the better ones! :thumbsup

Nice Khan!
Thanks guys! Great tunic you've got there yourself, Kevin. You ever read the production costume notes for WOK? They're fascinating - I caught some over at Memory-Alpha (3/5ths down the page in the "Costumes" section).
Great little tidbits, such as that, due to budget, the uniforms ended up that color red because it was one of three colors the jumpsuits material from the first movie could be dyed properly (others were blue-grey and gold), and that they only had one needle for all the vertical quilting for the turtlenecks, as the trapunto machines were rare and it was the only one they could find on the west coast!
Necessity is the mother of invention as they say

And I thank you too! I've promoted myself since that picture-

)

No one will ever get tired of looking at that handsome WOK uniform!

A couple more costumes:
Mostly what we have here is a (non-canon) officer's alternate duty uniform vest. (We saw Kirk, Saavik and Scotty wear such vests, so this might not be too bad of an extrapolation...)
Together with the (not yet 100% done) engineering outfit-
I think the neck part is still a bit oversize.
(I don't know, if she goes in there, she's liable to flood the whole compartment...)

Well, it surely must be time to bump this thread again!
Here are a few shots of my latest (at bit more obscure) Star Trek costumes- Crewmen (enlisted) from the TWOK movie era:
The build thread for these outfits are up on the 1701st:

I *think* I've posted this picture before.
Made by Shadowdale Creations, using fabric that has been identified as an exact match to screen used fabric.

Throwing my latest acquisitions into the mix-
First up is my "Where No Man Has Gone Before" tunic:
I haven't seen too many of these made (in fact James Cawley's is the only one I know of), so I figured it would be something you don't see every day.
Next up is something I picked up at a convention last weekend... for $45 bucks!
Of all the different Trek costumes I own, I never really had a decent TOS Command tunic until now. This was a steal considering it was custom made for the guy selling it. I still have to get it tailored a wee bit so it fits me better.
Oh and Felgacarb isn't the only one around here willing to ham it up...
I'm Captain Kirk!
IIIII'MMMM CAPTAIN KIRK!!!!
