Why not use the 3 3/4 Motion Picture Admiral Kirk head? You can pick those figures up easy enough.

Much better, now all he needs is a scantily clad martian woman clinging to his leg and a Greek god to judo chop.

ahhh true bout the hair tho you could just sand that head & sculpt hair instead of a full head sculpt (not that I`m faulting your sculpting). As said before I`ll be copying this method of Joe legs when I start getting them.

I'm going to modify your plan. I'm making a cast of the head that I have so I can sand the molded head. Then sculpt. Then paint. That way if I screw up the hair, I can try again. I love brainstorming with a group!

For those who don't know what panzer and I are talking about, back in the day Mego released 3-3/4" figures for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I happen to have the Admiral Kirk from that line since I was a kid. I didn't want to ruin my childhood memory, so I made a mold.
From there I Dremeled, sanded, sculpted, fit and quickly painted a copy of the head. Sorry the paint is sloppy. It's the best I could do in 3 hours. Here it is pictured with the original figure, the custom, my Mego Admiral Kirk and the minimates that the Custom Kirk got his phaser from. |

WOW awesome-ess.
As for the minimates acc`s,they work nicely as the original phaser wasn`t a big gun anyway. I have stashed away the Playmates TOS acc`s (phasers,coms & tricorders) tho the minimates look a lot better,damn you I`ll have to buy them too now for the acc`s LOL |

I was working on other stuff tonight so all I really did on the Kirk figure was refine some things. A lot of sanding and repainting. The most notable is that I painted over the silver on the uniform tunic with GOLD paint. Because there wasn't a lot to show, I took a picture inspired by CallMeRotten:
Panzer, I was just thinking about the problem of having to buy all of those minimates as well. The handle of the phaser needs to be beefed up a smidge so that the figures will be able to hold on to it. Maybe I'll cast my own based on the minimates model. I'm not sure yet, but you may want to hold off on buying them... I may be able to save you some money. I really want to make the entire bridge crew. The hardest to make will be Uhura... because the new movie uniform looks nothing like the beautiful Nichelle Nichols' costume from the original series. I will have to ponder this. |
