Going to be a while, as I have at least 2 projects to finish before I'll allow myself to get into these.If I don't exercise a bit of discipline on this I'll end up with lots more WIPs that aren't moving, and I already have way too many of those.But one is nearly done,so...I have drawn up 1/6 plans for Kirk's chair, just to be prepared...PS

 

[wax murderer]

I seem to have started something here. There are now 3 active Trek threads in the "Custom Creations" section,plus this one. And all because I wanted info on 1/6 Spock sculpts(Boy, did I get info!).I also got 3 great head sculpts, courtesy of Spenser, and leads to uniforms,equipment and set pieces.The power of a single question...PS

That is awesome! I for one can't wait to see what you do here... Especially the chair!

IF & WHEN the 1:6 Spock and/or Kirk comes to fruition and you decide upon extra castings . . . I'm definitely down for one (or maybe two).

Sculpt long & prosper.

I didn't sculpt Kirk or Spock;I purchased the heads (along with McCoy) from Spenser, a very talented fellow on this forum. I'm just cleaning 'em up, tweaking a bit and painting them.Check in "Custom Creations",or the beginning of this thread for a look at his fine work...PS

Thanksgiving weekend has proven to be very productive around here. Got Leia's head set up in clay and threw a bit of paint, including these guys...

Off to a good start, with custom bases for all!

Kirk has proven interesting, as I had to modify the neck quite a bit to accommodate the neck post of the chosen body.Said body(Soldier's Story)chosen to wear the wrap-tunic from season 2(Doomsday Machine, Tribbles),

Bones has been easiest,as he has the best likeness and more contours to hold the shading.

Spock has been the trickiest, paint-wise,since he required a very specific base and dry pigmenting(damn his 5 o-clock shadow!)Took me 2 ties to get it right,but I'm nothing if not persistent(my wife uses less flattering terms)...PS

 

[wax murderer]

Good news;just found a complete set of Nanjin's Trek figures on Ebay. Bad news;the starting bid is $899! Oh well;I can dream...PS

 

[wax murderer]

Bump time. Have been ruminating on the problem of boots, and I may have found a workable solution. Don't want to spill the details 'til I get a chance to test it, but if it works it'll be Trek boots at a reasonable price.I'd cross my fingers, but I can't hold my tools when I do...PS

The Latest...

paint jobs finished!(mostly)

the gallant Captain...

the stoic First Officer...

the noble Physician...
My talented wife did her usual exemplary job on the eyes(she's much better at them than I) and I handled the hair, which ended up requiring 3 custom color mixes.Now the waiting begins anew...PS

I've decided to use an Allan Rickman sculpt as my starting point;similar facial structure and honkers.

Did Rickman's sculpt ever come to fruition?

 

[wax murderer]

Nope;Spenser's version was entirely acceptable.
I am thinking that I need to shorten Kirk's neck;opinions?...PS

 

[Ironman1188]

True, but I so need a rickman sculpt!!

BTW, how did that boot idea work out?

 

[wax murderer]

I just happen to have such a sculpt;said sculpt is semi-hairless,to allow for variable characters.Still haven't tested the boot idea...PS

 

[wax murderer]

Time for a bump...PS

 

[wax murderer]

Yet another bump.You still need a Rickman sculpt,Ironman?...PS

 

[Ironman1188]

Yes, yes I do.

 

[wax murderer]

I still have the mold...PS

 

[Ironman1188]

Let me know if you cast any
