This is the first of several figures I'm making for a friend who is a Star Trek fan. Mego didn't bother to make figures of Chekov, Sulu, or Uhura for its Star Trek The Motion Picture line.
The entire figure is a repainted Kirk figure, modified with moppy hair. It doesn't look exactly like Walter Koenig's likeness, but given that it's just a repainted Kirk head, I'm pretty happy with it. The color of the uniform isn't movie accurate. Some of the movie uniforms were apricot, whereas Mego interpreted this color as a bright yellow. I split the difference and went with a duller yellow. Someone at Mego made a good call. The correct apricot color, which I originally started with on this figure, just doesn't look good on the figures. Last edited by Clockwise; 08-26-2014 at 06:53 PM.. |

I like it, looks pretty good! Post Sulu and Uhura too when you get the chance.

Interesting... I think you did good with the likeness, actually. It suggests him even if it isn't exactly him.

Thanks, guys. Glad to hear that the likeness is close enough to suggest Chekov- that's better than I thought I did with it, so thanks!
I'd like to see the restored figures, helrod. How in depth are you going? |
