"To boldly go..."

[Jazz]

This is my latest set of figures, all from Andrea in 54mm. Painted using both acrylics and oils. I have attempted to reproduce the miniature ships as they were in the movies rather than just paint them gold. Hopefully this will make it more interesting.

The figures are, from them the left; Captain Spock, Captain James T. Kirk, and Captain Jean Luc Picard.
Comments are welcome.

Very well done all the way around. The uniforms do look right on, particularly Spock. Mind sharing the color mixes?

The colours are pretty basic really. All the figures were first spray painted with matt white undercoat. Spocks tunic was first given an acylic coat of Revell Aqua Color fiery red. Then after drying was given a thin coat of Crimson Alazarin oil paint. To get the creases and shadows I used tiny amounts of Burnt Umber oils. Highlights were with small amounts of Cadmium Red.

Kirks shirt was undercoated in flesh acrylic then given a coat of Yellow Ochre straight from the tube. Shadows were tiny amounts of Burnt Sienna and highlights tiny amounts of Titanium White mixed to the Yellow Ochre while wet. More highlights were done when the oils dried.

Glad you all like them. Being a mega Trekker myself my heart and soul went into these. The castings were excellent with superb likenesses of all three characters.
My next endeavor is to be The Kurgon and Ramires from the movie "Highlander". Also from Andrea.

Nicely done, and I like the thought you gave the presentation.

It occurs to me that if you wanted a model of the Enterprise from the original series, to put on Kirk's base, you might track down an original AMI kit of Space Station K7. If I recall, it had a small solid-cast model of the Enterprise, in scale with the station. Or maybe not, in which case, this is the next milepost on my road to senility.

Prost!
