When I was getting ready for this year's CustomCon, it had been awhile since
I had updated my customs on my section of Cool Collecting.com. Since that was
the case, I discovered that I actually had enough Star Trek customs done and not
yet online to make up a whole CustomCon wave of figures, so here we are!
Riker was made from a Commander Sisko body, the same one that I took the head
from to make Sisko in this wave. The head was from some random Riker figure. The
hands were repainted, as was the communicator.
Spock was everyone's favorite recipe, a Generations Kirk body with an TNG Ambassador
Spock head.
Bashir was a Bashir head on a dress uniform Data body. I gave him new hands from
another figure, and repainted his uniform. I decided not to go with the green-blue
that Playmates used, but something slightly more blue.
Cartwright was made from a Generations Kirk with the head from a Congo Monroe
figure. Using a still image from Star Trek VI as reference, I created the medals
in Paint Shop Pro and printed them out. I then decoupaged them on over a thin layer
of Super Sculpey, and painted the very edges black. I also painted an extra gold
line along the figure's uniform flap, and painted the hands the correct color.
Vorik was simple enough. He was a Data as a Romulan head with a Lt. Carey body.
I opted to just repaint the head and hands rather than sand or dremel off the forehead
ridges.
Sisko was a Picard figure with a Sisko head and hands from Geordi LaForge.
