hello

Another very strange alien from star trek Galt from the tos episode.

The Gamesters of Triskelion.

The Providers express their desire to see Kirk dead, since he has been so troublesome, and they delightedly accept the bet only if Kirk takes on the thralls, alone. With no choice, Kirk agrees and the brains send him back to the arena. The combat begins and the Enterprise crew must watch the battle on the bridge viewscreen. Kirk manages to kill two of the thralls, and injures a third, but the Providers halt the game, and replace the injured warrior with Shahna. Both are reluctant to fight each other. Kirk is tired but manages to overpower Shahna and she surrenders. Kirk insists the fight is over and the Providers accept the outcome and allow Kirk and the others to go free.

Kirk lingers behind for a final kiss from Shahna and explains to her, that there will be no more games, and the Providers will help them start a free civilization.

ok but what's future for Galt ?????

Thats really neat! I always loved that episode. Is that a modified klingon head? His outfit really rocks too. Good stuff!

That's one of my fave eps, too. Mego didn't market the female aliens, and I always thought this one would have done well, (or even Yvonne Craig and the Orion Slave girl).

the head is a klingon modified , the robe was buy on ebay like a vampire robe modified ,the necklace was difficult to do .
the transporter was buy on ebay .Finally this custom is not really difficult . I am happy because I am not a specialist .

Not very likely. For Yarnek tho you wouldn't even need a body at all, he's nothing more than a blob of who knows what. Just throw some clay together and you pretty much have him. :smiley1:
For a Tholian I'm completely clueless on how to begin on something like that :huh:

We haven't seen as many trek customs as we used to. Nice to see one that I haven't seen before. He looks great.

Commander Loskene,

I love where you are going with this.

Someone already answered the Yarnek question, so I'll address the Tholian question.

In the original episode we never saw the Tholians from the neck down as your avatar clearly demonstrates.

I think there are two paths you can travel here. First you can go with what was presented in the show Star Trek: Enterprise, where the Tholians were Crystalline Spider-like creatures and in this case there would be no need to use a Mego body at all.

Or, you could go 180° in another direction and re-envision what might have been created in the 1960's if they would have had the budget to do so.

You may want do to a couple of sketches, first, and submit them here for feedback.

All in all, I wish you a lot of luck and look forward to what you come up with.
