    WIP First Appearance Polaris-

    I'm excited to finish her, but her costume is going to be quite the creative challenge! #megogoals

      Agreed, that outfit is a challenge but you can cheat a bit in modifying the suit to get it to stay "up"...
      Such as more "Tube" in the top, leaving you to just remove panels, rather than a whole modify....

            I agree it looks awesome, would look cool as a St. Patrick's day display, which is coming up soon.

              I assume that is the FTC Female Green suit from their site? if
              so great, that is the one I'm going to order for my Mera custom.
              I was just afraid of it being more of a pea green than an emerald green...

                  Yeah, by the time I am done, only the bottom half of the suit will really be left. First Appearance Polaris (your first photo) has a slightly different suit than the current version. I sat and looked at it for a LONG time to figure out the mechanics of it and how it would be sewn. The design is nuts, which may have been why they simplified her costume. Her rouched bodice (my mom is a seamstress, she has taught me fancy sewing words) is not just attached to her cape, it is the same piece as her cape. That is going to be a completely different piece of material that will be added. Just having a hard time finding a material type that I like in the color I need.
                  And she has the awesome skull which I had a friend make for me that is to scale (I've already almost lost it like 5 times, I really need to finish so I can put it on!)
                  And my mom figured out that sewing flesh covered fabric on the sides rather that removing them would actually help the integrity of the suit AND make it more "mego accurate"

                    Thank you! I have found Mary Ellen has a great "Mean Girl" face.

                      I think so too, I wanted to use her face for a Trek custom but can't think of any female character at the moment,
                      but not a crew member, more like an alien or female villain.

                        Yes darkbros, I bought the lot of 10 since it had 2 different green suits in the set. This is the darker green one. I was actually hoping for a shade in between the two greens, but I can make this one work. This would be perfect for Mera!

                          I have yet to get a Star Trek Commission! I love Star Trek and would love to contribute an addition to the crew.

                              I can't think of who it was, but it seems like there was a member here on the MM that used her as a female Romulan?
