Here is my rendition of a custom Mego Star Trek Transporter room. Keep in mind that I am just starting to dabble a bit with customs and this is a WIP. I am not necessarily trying to reinvent the wheel here as I have seen some custom transporters for sale that look very nice. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to buy one of those before I was S*canned from EvilBay. In fact I had actually been working on this (that is if you want to call it work) more like dabbling with this before those custom transporters came up for sale. I am not trying to take anyone's credit away. I am just merely giving you an idea of how long I have been dabbling with this little project off and on. Lots of work that still needs to be done though of course. This is no where near completed or perfected by any means. In fact it will probably change a lot more before it is actually done no doubt. I just wanted to share some of my stuff to let some of you guys/gals know that even I play around with my action figures from time to time as I do have loose figures as well as carded in my collection. 
The main thing that is neat about mine (or so I like to think anyway) is that I have a button to press that plays the recorded transporter engergizer sound when pressed. This "energize" sound effects button gives the transporter the full effect of transporting Kirk and his crew to and from their next mission. The main reasoning for this not being actually completed is 1) I like the original Star Trek alot and probably seen just about every episode as a kid. Having said that I have not watched the shows again recently enough to remember what the actual transporter room physically looks like to be all technical about how it is supposed to look. 2) I have some other open projects that have been in the works as well for a while. The POTA and recently a Batman Batvan that I basically am toying around with. 3) Last but certainly not least I have a girl friend that does not appreciate the time that I spend with my toys and not with her as much. The bottom line is I have to keep momma happy or no one is happy. 
When I feel like toying around with some of my projects I will work on one for a while and then maybe switch off to doing something else. It all depends on my mood and how I feel and basically what I want to do at that time. Ok enough of the blah, blah as most of you guys and gals could probably care less about my personal life and how I spend my time so with a further a due here a some pics. I will upload more and update this as I add the pictures to my new photo bucket account. I hope that others appreciate the fun of this and maybe even get or give an idea or two.

I really do enjoy seeing all of your neat work. Your work unlike mine is very nice and you always make something totally cool!
