Star Trek: The Tholian Web - Dida Style

[wyldpny]

The USS Enterprise enters an uncharted region of space answering a distress call from her sister ship, the USS Defiant.

As they approach the Defiant's last known location, the Enterprise's engines begin to lose power and sensors detect a nearby dimensional fracture in space that seems to be the cause of the energy drain.

The Defiant appears on the monitor, adrift with a strange green glow surrounding the hull. Strangely, sensors show no indication that the vessel is there.

There are no lifeforms detected, and Lt. Uhura reports that no communications can be established with the ship.

Captain Kirk assembles a boarding party consisting of himself, Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock and Mr. Chekov to beam over and investigate. As the boarding party prepares to beam over, they all suit up in environmental suits.

Once their helmets are secured they are ready for transport.

They beam over onto the Defiant's bridge but find no one alive.

Capt. Kirk orders Chekov to head down to Engineering and McCoy to go check out Sickbay while he and Spock stay on the bridge.
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234217384/med_gallery_502_25_399542.jpg
McCoy arrives in the Defiant's sickbay, but he can't find any real explanation for the crew's deaths.

Chekov makes his way down and arrives in the ship's Engineering section.

Cool Stuff. The space Dida looks great! Nice staging on the figures!

[wyldpny]

While McCoy is looking at a deceased crewman lying on the floor he suddenly discovers his hand can pass right through the dead crewmans body. It appears that the whole ship's physical structure is dissolving. Realizing that the ship is disappearing right out from under them, Capt. Kirk orders Chekov and McCoy to return to the bridge.
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234217384/med_gallery_502_25_579923.jpg
McCoy and Chekov head back to the bridge while Kirk contacts Mr. Scott to prepare to transport them back.
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234217384/med_gallery_502_25_300195.jpg
Mr. Scott informs them that the Enterprise transporter is not functioning properly and that they can only beam 3 of them over first, so Capt. Kirk orders Spock, McCoy and Chekovthat they will beam back first.
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234217384/med_gallery_502_25_965355.jpg
After a difficult transporter beam back, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Ens. Chekov materialize safely back aboard the Enterprise.
They quickly remove their helmets and step out of the transporter so Lt. O'Neil and Mr. Scott can now attempt to beam back the Captain.

Back on the disappearing Defiant, Capt. Kirk awaits being beamed back to the Enterprise before it's too late.

Hey, it looks great, Steve! Glad you got it set up to play with. Cool spacesuits...

[SUP-Ronin]

Super cool set, and great story. I dig those Env. Suits, too. Well done.

[huedell]

Holey moley that setup looks sweet--- Scott (Dida) and Chekov's
EMCE parents deserve props!

But Steve---you made it all come together there---great custom outfits--
-setup---and photos!

P.S. I'm not even a huge OST fan and even I'M beginning to think that
the belly shirt is a "must have" for the Mego Kirk.

[Ivaniski]

Absolutely Beautiful work!!! More, More! :yes:

[david_b]

Super cool set, and great story. I dig those Env. Suits, too. Well done.

Yes, those are easy to buy. I'm sewing my suits up a bit for a more tighter fit. Excellent pictures ~ Love that Bridge set.

Hopefully the new chairs'll come soon as well. :licklips:

[wyldpny]

It's funny, as I didn't know Scott had a Dida bridge story going on as well. I didn't see his until I posted mine up and then saw his get bumped up to the top next to mine.
I guess great minds think alike :)

Oh, YES, the belly shirt is indeed a **MUST HAVE** for Mego Kirk.

[captact]

Love those pics and DIDA DISPLAY,..soooo cooool! More more more!

[MegoScott]

What's the origin of the suits? They are kind of amazing.

[spotter]

I agree those suits are Spot On and I have at least 2 of each crew heads from making custom crews

[wyldpny]

The Enviro suits are modified and altered Playmates Tholian web Environmental large figure suits.
Once they have been altered and modified down to fit on the 8" Mego figures, as you can see they look pretty darn amazing ;)

[MeerkatMego]

Awesome! The Dida bridge looks great and it makes a cool stage for the figures. Your photos are nicely done.

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

Very cool. Would love to see some new episodes too.

[captact]

I'm not on much, what is your thread called? Can you link to it?

[wyldpny]

Scott's Dida "Waiting for Chekov" thread is here:

[HardyGirl]

I have a nine inch Playmates Chekov in the environmental suit NRFB signed by Walter Koenig.

[Meule]

Very cool. Saw this episode again just yesterday

[wyldpny]

Spock uses the ships scanners to analyse the Tholians web filaments
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_795096.jpg
He figures out that if the Tholians complete their web, the Enterprise and her crew will never make it back home. Uhura tries to tell McCoy that she saw Kirk's "ghost" but is not successful in convincing him she saw the Captain. Doctor McCoy then discovers an antidote for the phasing effect by using a diluted form of the Klingon nerve agent, Theragen.
McCoy goes to the bridge to administer the antidote and after inoculating the bridge crew he is about to leave when Mr. Scott looks up and suddenly calls out from his station
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_25359.jpg
"Look, it's Capatain Kirk!"
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_263991.jpg
Dr. McCoy looks up in shock
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_419026.jpg
"Mr. Spock, it's the Captain!"
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_263991.jpg
Mr. Spock walks over to where the "ghost" image of Captain Kirk seems to be floating on the bridge
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_63742.jpg
Mr. Spock calls out, "Captain" and reaches up as if to try and touch him
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_174152.jpg
Suddenly the Captain vanishes
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_53003.jpg
Spock lowers his hand and looks over to his ship mates as they all take in what they just witnessed
http://www.trektoy.com/forum/gallery_images/1234443011/med_gallery_502_25_127399.jpg
Will the Enterprise escape before the Tholians are able to finish their web? Will Spock and the crew be able to get the Captain back before what little oxygen he has left in his enviro suit is all gone?

[Trappy Trek Freak]

That Dida Bridge is so awesome I can't wait to get one, does the Engineering section come with it?

[wyldpny]

I paid extra for the Transporter, Engineering and Sick Bay sections when I purchased mine, but he was doing quite a few different options back then and mine was also a prototype or something as well so it was kind of different in quite a few ways.
