Matty-lad Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey all, Pretty much as the title says. I am planning (possibly) to do some Star Trek ones i.e. Sulu, Kirk and Spock from WNMHGB among others and was wondering how easy it is to head-swap these little critters? Is it just the boil & pop method? Take care, Matty-lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Actually it's much simpler than that. Just take the head off. Think Legos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Minimates are (relatively) very easy to customize. I had never customized anything before trying it with Minimates. Granted, all I've done so far are part swaps but I've been doing a lot of practice with painting and a little bit with sculpting and am just trying to build up my confidence before I take a real shot at it.

Hey all, Thanks for the info and help. I've customized both Playmates and AA/DST figures in the past and I'm now thinking of going smaller. Will let you know (with pictures) when I get a chance to do this. Take care, Matty-lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-lad Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has done any Star Trek customs yet? Really looking forward to doing this. Take care, Matty-lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty-lad Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 some red shirt's some klingon's Hey all, Winkerbean, those are excellent. CAn I be rude and ask which heads you used for the Klingons. Once the Kirk and Kor set is out over here in the UK, I plan on making Spock and MCoy with their own individual Klingon enemies.
