Just downloaded the Klingons. Cool set. Waiting for Romulans (and Orions).

Yay! Can't wait! The originals are exploring my desk here and they're soon to be joined by a galileo shuttle. These away team guys'll make a great addition.
Thanks!

...that very one.
Printed at half size though which makes it pretty much exactly 30mm (1:60) scale

I HAVE that shuttle model, just didn't know how to rescale it. Thanks for the tip.
The third set is coloured. I just need time to lay it out on the page. That'll have to wait until tomorrow.
This set has 12 figures. I "borrowed" two from the proposed Bridge Crew set I was planning.
It's just taking longer to finish.
I'm hoping that for next weekend I can have the Romulans done as well as two top secret mini projects, that though not Trek, are of that era.

I HAVE that shuttle model, just didn't know how to rescale it. Thanks for the tip. Just set the print options to 'Multiple Pages Per Sheet' and set it to two pages. Half-sizes it exactly. It's fiddley but doable. Looking forward to your new minis. Crow |

Hi
First posting here. Jumped over from the Savage Worlds forums following a link by Scarecrow. Just wanted to say how much I love these minis. Thank you so much for doing Klingons and other races rather than just Starfleet guys. Looking forward to seeing what else you have planned.

I am loving these miniatures! Here is a quick shot of both sets against an alien scene from TAS and shown on a portion of Ebbles grassy terrain. I based the minis on One Monk's 20mm Concrete bases.  Okumarts, If you are interested, I have converted your pdf's into CraftRobo compatible format with GSD cutting files. The Craft Robo sure made short work of these! |

Back in the Olden Days, Heritage published the first set of authorized Star Trek rpg rules. I used to run some games of it, and designed a scenario for publication in Different Worlds. It was much simpler than today's rules and IMHO much more fun. These figures make me want to dust off my copy and run the game again!
Have fun!
Steve

Wonderboy, the figures look great all built like that! The background is inspired.
I'd be interested in Craftrobo files, but I don't have a Craftrobo and won't be getting one.
I'm looking to produce some commercial products and have considered including craftrobo files, but wouldn't know where to start with that.

They are gorgeous. Really. I'm just back from my weekly game party. A friend developed a new game, and we playtested it in the last 3 meetings. It is a '70 Star trek themed game, and it is about building "episodes" of the series: you have a bunch of card to build the episode, then each player make a "round" taking the role of "the Bad" and playing the story "against" the Enterprise crew (the other players) using minis on a tactical planet map (or even the Enterprise map). I'm the one that put all the art made by hands by the designer in digital format, but after seeing you minis we're waiting to see if you do some "old series" figures, or we may even think to make the theme in "modern" Star Trek... anyway your timing is perfect  . A request: as that game needs to have cards with stats for the crew, may i ask if it is possible to have "big" pictures of the minis? Something like the previews you post here? I'll need at least the ... how is it called in cinema "jargon"?... the Face and the shoulders? Do you plan to do vulcanians? |

I hope no-one minds, I thought I might join in. I've tried to ape Okum's style and colours as closely as possible so that they're compatible. I'll do some more and then put them into a PDF. I'll move it to my forum too, if necessary to keep things tidy. Crow  |

I just finished gluing the landing party set. They look really great. I will have to take some time to clean up the .gsd files and the modified .pdf's before posting. Should be able to get these posted on Friday.
Scarecrow - I really like your contribution. I say the more Trek the better.

Scarecrow, those are awesome!
I wasn't going to do the characters from the cartoon, but I'm glad you did.
I think after the Romulans I'm going to do a "Alien" set with gorn, mugato and all kinds of stuff like that.
After that I'm thinking of doing some "movie era" Wrath of Khan era figures.
Just to shake it up a bit.

Eep, these new figures are great. They are all so full of character. And to see that Scarecrow has joined the party just makes my day.
I also don't want to sound (too) whiney but if you do more Starfleet figures, it would be cool to see some guys in the engineering coveralls for background flavour. Like a lower decks set. I made some of my own using Scarecrow's mini maker and a bit of photoshop jiggery-pokery. Also love to hear you're considering doing TWOK style as well.
Anyone given any thought to making some basic Trek scenery? I've seen the photos of Scarecrow's TWOK bridge which looks amazing but have looked long and hard for anyone doing sci scenery which would suit the look of Trek. Most stuff always seems a bit too industrial for that purpose. Would kill for some of those cool TMP corridors and a warp core. I tried to make my own classic Trek set and managed to do a couple of passable walls and doors but have zero texturing experience so they looked pretty drab.

Check this out for the bridge. I haven't tried building it yet. It seems a bit small, but could be scaled up. jleslie48.com/stbb/rel.html |

I think there was an Andorian in the first set that Okum did - yes, a female. I really really must finish that TWOK bridge. It's pretty much done and has been for years. I just wuss out at the thought of doing the instructions!  Anyways, I think I have that TOS bridge in a folder somewhere. I seem to recall it was larger than mini scale so should just be a case of scaling it down - or am I misremembering? Crow |

The bridge does look a bit small, but I didn't feel like trying to rescale it:  Lots of little pieces! |

Actually that doesn't look too bad scale-wise.

The bridge is coming along. I think I may scale it up a wee bit when I finally build it and I'll probably simplify the elements using foamcore.
The scale you printed it at actually looks pretty good.

I printed it as is (with a little tweaking for the Craft Robo). It is shown to be 1:50.

Okum's minis are around 33mm which makes them 1:54 - so it is pretty darn close.

Hey, I think the bridge works pretty well in scale. I may have to have a go at building it. May modify it to look slightly different to represent the Hermes class ship in my games.

Hmmm... I may just have to try my hand at building that this weekend. I'm going to make it modular to pack away easier and represent different ships.
Wonderboy, thanks for uploading the craft robo files.
I may need to make some hallways and rooms, etc to go with that bridge set.
But first I'm going to finish the Romulans.
