I do miss going to the toy store.
The Intrepid helm console is available right now. 4 out of 10:Argh, now that I've seen these custom accessories, I'm compelled to buy some for my Trek figures.

What I wouldn't give for some sets/consoles for the larger Diamond Select Next Generation collection (too bad they stopped at the captain's chair).
I love that 3d printing Is making these things possible.
Someone asked about this and the answer was that eventually they intend to go back to the 7" scale, we just need to be patient.
I can only recommend staying informed via the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TripleFict...kW5B1GG6ZYApNykbWF0oxhIhwYKh8b958Tmff_OFBnhn4
When new stuff is uploaded, the exact date and time now always gets announced two days in advance so everyone can prepare. I said I can't rely on an e-mail alert as I can't constantly check my e-mail during a workday, and I was listened to.
I don't know about TNG, but the Intrepid bridge seats took 45 minutes to sell out, so I needn't had fretted sitting there at 8 PM at the dot. The helm console is still available since yesterday evening.
There's also Instagram if you prefer that: https://www.instagram.com/triplefictionproductions/
The last post on the Twitter page is from April so I wouldn't rely on that.
I had problems posting images. I found it you type [*img] picture link [/img] without the * and it should work.
As for a custom O'Briens sleeves, I say roll em up. Poor guy was always tortured on DS9, a non-stop miracle worker who always got the job done. I doubt he ever had the time to roll his sleeves down.
If you want to go really authentic, you could base it off the Season 6 Episode "Rocks and Shoals" and have him tear his pants
Thanks for the advice! I finally finished work on him today. I wanted him to be screen accurate so didn’t roll up the sleeves, as O’Brien didn’t in his new uniform. The head is from a series 1 DS9 O’Brien figure, the torso from a movie uniform Riker figure and the arms and legs from a Tom Paris figure so he had the right height. I then painted the polo neck and collars yellow. I didn’t fancy my chances painting his rank insignia (which would have been far too fiddly), so I found the symbol online, reduced it to scale and printed it on adhesive paper. I’m quite pleased with the result! I hope all you guys approve too.

That's fantastic, the rank insignia worked perfectly!
I'm in awe of all the talent I so often see in these types of threads. And the results are so much fun!
Looks amazing! Could I ask what paint you used for the yellow collar and cuffs?
Without going through the entire thread I want to ask, has there been any talk about Micro Machines here?
I don't even remember when I handled them, I think I have.... from TNG and DS9 era.
Enterprise-D, shuttle and runabout
Romulan Warbird
Romulan scout ship
Klingon Vor'cha attack cruiser
Ferengi Marauder
Cardassian Galor class ship
Borg cube
DS9 station
Enterprise-C
Those are the ones I remember right now, there could be more.
And it was the 90s so obviously there are Star Wars ships too, sorry.

Late 90s.... I had a set in my hand from 'Generations', Enterprise-D with saucer separation, Enterprise-B and Klingon Birf-of-Prey, why didn't I buy it.... why. Probably out of money.
I have a whole basket full of them in a bottom drawer of my desk that rarely opens to see the light of day, haha. I really need to change that with some of the stuff I own...
A little bit and I have a crap ton of them still. Still one of my favorite toys out there.
I had that set, but managed to lose the battle section!
Thank you very much, that’s very kind
Sure - it’s a Citadel base paint I got from a model shop and the colour is ‘averland sunset’.
I had/have all of the micro machines, including doubles and even triples of some...all but the Enterprise E.
It was only available in a super rare super pack that I clearly remember passing on at a TRU back in the day.
I regret it now because that same set goes upwards of 250$ on eBay.
