Star Trek Playsets

[Michael]

Haha, they are like chips, right? You start with one and... the you want to have them all

They definitely are, ha ha! I have to be careful, though, because between hundreds of Star Trek books, DVDs, blu-rays and Eaglemoss models it's getting rather cramped on our bookshelves.

Try to get the Holo-Doc! He has a fantastic likeness. Janeway is great too and so is Chakotay.

Yes, the Doctor looks very accurate. I kind of dig the turtleneck collar they gave the Voyager characters. As for Chakotay, getting him in Maquis garb would be no problem, but the Starfleet uniform version seems to be some kind of a rarity. At least on the German versions of ebay and Amazon.

Kes... I don't know. I don't have her :/ For some reason she wasn't sold in Germany.

Which might explain why I have such a hard time getting her. From the pictures I've seen the figure doesn't look particularly good, but I just love the character and have to have her.

The Dukat-Figure was actually just meant to be a generic cardassian. They changed their minds in the last second and named him Dukat. But yeah, he looks nothing like him. Garak is better. My personal favorite from the DS9-Figures is propably Quark. He has such a great grin

Ah, makes sense then that Dukat looks nothing like the real thing then. Haven't seen a Garak figure pop up anywhere yet. I love Quark, but from pictures the action figure looks almost too cartoony. But who am I kidding, in the end I will get him, too.

I'm sure something like this has been done already. When I did my research, I came across all kinds of TOS-Bridges. No Ops or Voyager-Bridge though.

I've seen lots of TOS bridges and TMP bridges. They look awesome! But I'm love with the TMP bridge. They never seem to produce a full set of TMP figures so it doesn't get much love at all, despite being the best bridge. :-P Once all the QMX figures are out I'm going to try and fulfill my ambition of getting TMP uniforms made and some 3d prints of at least some bridge stations. The whole thing is tempting but it would be almost two meters across!

Still tempting... I just need to build it into a coffee table design B-)

That would be one awesome coffee table. I say go for it!

I'm pretty sure I commented on these sets in the Action Figure Thread. If not, they're amazing! Love your progress pics, too.

I haven't seen a 1:6-scale Refit before. This I'd like to lay my eyes on. Six feet across is a BIG layout.

I have a couple of projects I need to complete first, but as soon as I open my new 3d printers and get through the items I already have lined up, a 1:10-scale Refit Bridge (TWOK) is next on my list. I'll need to check the dimensions to see if a 1:6-scale section would fit on my larger printer. I have a feeling I'd need to break it down to the riser (raised floor), lower wall, and curved ceiling. I'm pretty sure I could get it in one go for 1:10-scale. I'm sure I could work out a 1:16-scale model, too (4.5" figures).

… the Action Figure Thread. …

There actually is an action figure thread on the board? My small collection of Playmates action figures is growing and I might feel the need to talk about it more. Where can I find that thread?

Thank you! Will have a look around.

Decided it was too difficult to tag @M?

Changing the name was actually something I wanted to do even before the whole mod thing. But yeah, people being able to tag my name is a nice and practical side effect.

I just stumbled upon this thread and have got to say that your playsets are just stunning! And that's coming from someone who has done an awful lot of cardboard models in his day. Your work is truly incredible!!!

 

[Sibyl]

I don't know if I should as this here while this thread has people's attention or if I should ask in the Action Figure thread, but I was wondering (as it relates to this thread) if there would be any interest in custom-modeled Playmates-style figures...either characters that were not sold (or people you know!) or perhaps even Playmates-style, but with more sensible hip joints (straight). I'll be honest, the Movies II-VI is my favorite era, but I'm willing to work with others.

The TMP bridge is definitely big! I think I'd go for just the key stations as an opener, helm, navigation, captain's chair, and science station are good starters. Tubolift and comms are probably as far as you can take it unless you have a LOT of space. You need to fit in security and engineering stations, let alone getting all the way round to weapons control. Poor Chekov!

Not to hijack @Starfury's thread, I'll take further comments on my own work and ideas in my art thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/scribbles-scribbles.286750/

Hello,
I'm doing an ds9-themed advent calender for my girlfriend. any chance you could send me the files for the Ops?

Some cardboard builds here

viewscreens look to be cheaper

I can see this tech as pages as in the old photo novels with each hard wired to show a single scene….or for nacelle effects with no moving parts. A tiny viewscreen for playsets…

Not sure which files you mean. I completely winged this.

This is incredible! I had (IIRC, my brother still has) the Playmates TNG Bridge Playset and Generations Engineering Playset from the early 1990s. I spent many hours playing with both as a kid, and though my action figures were a bit of a dog's breakfast, generationally speaking (no pun intended), I made it work in my head canon.

But seriously, your attention to detail and outright creative passion is on full display here.
