    Here's My first attempt at the Collar "fix". While it doesn't look too bad from the front...you can see from the side Pic...it's still looks messed up.

    I'm thinking of giving up...and just buying a couple of Gold Ensign Shirts from Doc. Ya know...the ones He had made prior to EMCE.

      I repainted the eyeballs on both, as they were way to small,..and thicker eyebrows on Chekov,.....now both look more like the actors!

        Hi,
        Would you happen to have any pics of the repaint you did on the eyeballs of the two figures....Chekov and Sulu. I was meaning to alter their look with a repaint myself.

          I have noticed that about the collars . I am just not letting it bother me. Let me know how it goes. Curious I thought the old Star trek shirts doc made were having the same issue.

            Hey Museum,
            Captact asked me to post the pictures that display the re-paint he did on Sulu and Chevok to make them look more like their live counterparts....I think he did a very good job.
            The eyes are a little bigger now and more realistic looking..........

            Good job my friend.....

                  All great fixes!


                  Collar crumple fix is brilliant.


                  Repaint of eyeballs in Sulu is mandatory !


                  Fluffier eyebrows on Chekov is masterful.


                  Bravo!!

                      What does Doc say about the Colars ?
                      Has he addressed this Issue ? .. Just Curious..
                      If I bought a Trek Guy & the Colar was F'ed up,.. I'd go & buy a better shirt from Doc.

                          I already did buy one "red Shirt" from Doc, for Scotty...now it looks like I need two Gold ones for 2 of My Checkov's.


                          Doc did suggest a "fix"...He said "Glue the Collar down". But that isn't the problem...on both My Scottys & Checkovs...the Collar is already glued down.
