Title: To boldly go....
Post by: Wolf Knight on April 17, 2010, 06:08:35
Stardate 5424.5.... The Federation shipyards.... Captain James T Kirk and his crew are required to familiarise themselves with the new Experimental Exploration Vessel Playmospace and ''take her out for a spin''....

Commander Spok is the first to arrive on the bridge...
(http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3ps3m_9254c87.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

And immediately familiarise himself with a few of the instruments....

Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu is the next member of the crew to arrive... ''Hello Mr. Spok'' ..... ''Lieutenant...'' is Mr Spok's calm and fairly unentusiastic reply to his comrade as he is...fascinated by the study of the new instruments...
(http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3ps5m_427b548.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

Spock and Sulu are soon joined by Lieutenant Uhura and Ensing Chekhov...
(http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3ps6m_0c8a8a4.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Mr Spock have you seen Mr Scott??'' enquires Uhura. ''I believe he is reallining a magnetic field coil...'' Calling Mr Scott, calling Mr Scott''
(http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3pt1m_dab4898.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Aye lass, what can I do for you??'' ''The captain will be here shortly Mr Scott'' ''Aye, I'm on me way''!!!

Scotty is on the bridge and everyone are taking their place on their stations...
(http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3psym_0dc7c5f.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Where is the engeneering station??'' asks Scotty...''Sorry Mr Scott, There is no engeneering station on this vessel's bridge.'' replies Spok, ''All functions are controlled from engeneering... ''What a rustbucket if you ask me...''replies Scotty.
(http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3pt2m_2852b7c.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Everybody look happy except me....'' murmurs Scotty....

''Captain on the Bridge''
(http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3pt3m_e3b39dc.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)
Captian Kirk is accompanied by the Ship's Chief Medical Officer, and close friend, Dr Leonard Mccoy.....

''At easy gentlemen, and ladies..''
(http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3pt4m_8aa6a38.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)
''Hello Captain'' all of them reply ....and starting to make inquiries....Mr Scott especially about this crazy Starfleet desing not having an engeneering station on the bridge....Chekhov about the uncomfortable chairs... Only Mr Spok stresses out the fact that this is merely an exploration vessel, clearly not designed for the luxuries of a starship... ''We are here to indicate any flaws of desing after all.''

''Please gentlemen...'' the Captain calms them down, ''Lets just all stand for a moment and take a picture to remember this first time on this bridge...its a historic moment!!!''

''Right... Everybody to your stations, lets take this baby out for a spin, Scotty, we'll be in contact throught communications...'' ''Aye Captain! I'll be happy with my machines and looking forward to study the warp core anyway...''
(http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3pt7m_4d24ba4.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Everybody ready??'' ''Ready Captain! All vessel funcions within normal parameters.'' replies Mr Spok. ''The warp engines are good to go.'' Scotty's voice can be heard throught the com system. ''Propultion systems ready Captain'' reports Chekhov. ''Communications on line Captain'' says Uhura... Kirk looks at Mccoy...
(http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/6/4/16/baldthar/f_grpn3ptym_48de9c9.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

''Just say the word Jim....'' ''In that case...Take us out Mr Sulu!!!!''

You've got to do more!

WOW :o! You have done the old original TV show a true wonder in this story! The use of the original space station along with the custom figures is fantastic, well done :wow:! Your attention to detail is awesome! Do you have any of the newer retired alien sets like 3280, 3281, 3282, 3283, 3284, that you could combine with these beautiful figures in additional stories, hint, hint  ;D?

Thank you Bill!!! Your valuable feedback is always much appreciated!!!  :wave: :wave:

Unfortunately, i've never build much, if any, appreciation for these space aliens...They just looked so...alien to believe they were playmobil, and i was not buying any playmobil at the time...But now that you bring it to my attention.....I think there might be something fairly interesting here....(although i'll have to start searching for them sets....)

Makes me want to return to my childhood and watch the old episodes again...

Beautiful "soft customs" of the Star Trek crew and bridge of the USS Enterprise (Starship NCC-1701)!

It is absolutely amazing what you've been able to accomplish with original Playmobil Klickys.

Very, very impressive!

If Star wars is too big a challange, maybe Star trek the next generation is an option.

Awesome Panos! I'd never seen this thread before. Thanks conniefrere for digging it out!
From time to time, Panos, you come up with a jewel like this one, or the "None shall pass" story (my favourite!).
If you look closely, Star Trek was a cheap show. They never used more than three satges for one episode. 1-the bridge, 2-the teleportation room, 3-the Alien planet/ship. But man, I loved this show!
Far behind StarWars obviously!

Arnaud

Unfortunately my creativity and fanatsy was killed by my pedestrian teenage life and its dulness :( It feels exchausting to do something this good nowadays ... but as you said, it happens from time to time...

I grew up with TNG, but looking back at the Original Series, it had its magic... I talked before about the comparison of Star Trek and Star Wars... For me the Original Series, looking back at it, was an optimistic version of the history of mankind, whereas Star Wars is presented as the saga of one man, one hero... a hero with a thousand faces...

you could use one of the tall wood legged clowns from 3808 - Clown Team (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3808) and cover him in hair, maybe even change his head with a monkey/ape one...

Interesting tidbit some of the bridge consoles/controls on the original Enterprise were USED props from the Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space!  So yeah, they were REALLY CHEAP!  And then, the floor of the original transporter (the one with the circles that you stand on that light up as you're being transported) was re-used as the CEILING lights of TNG Enterprise-D transporter room!

Not a bad idea, or the treasure hunters guardian legs. http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4849
