Speaking of which... just yesterday I was re-watching my DVD of Ice Pirates!
Have fun!

I notice that some of Scarecrows humanoid lions (I guess they come from the cartoon version I never watched) have a mane (male trait) and at starfleet female uniform (aka miniskirt). Its fun to mix and match! Thanks for "Enemy Mine" Revg., that was going to bother me. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can put a back on the priestess now. It is not midnight, but I was at a friends for dinner so I'm a little wined up.  |

So here it is. There are some issues, but I think it will pass. Attachments:

That is really awesome. This is making me want to work on trek minis again.

Awesome work. I think that is one great collaboration.
Dave: I would LOVE to see you work on your WNMHGB figures again.

Wow! Nothing for months and then POW! I love the Gorn priestess. I love the idea of the Gorn being religious zealots too. Nice idea. There are other ways of making a creature feminine without adding breasts. Making them smaller, softer and more curved - whilst not necessarily any more realistic than breasts - is more subtle. You could also design the clothing to suggest breasts by creating breast shapes, even if it's only subliminally, without her actually having any. Also, you could enlarge the ribcage to look like a bust, whereas it is, in actual fact, just bone (with huge lungs). the feathered crest or mane is a good idea too. It makes her look more important for a start and if I remember correctly, female lizards tend to be more elaborate and colourful than the males (or is it the other way round?). Anyway, if you're happy with bobb on your lizard lady then it's all largely irrelevant, no? Crow |

The only way to identify the gender of a reptile accurately is to get really, really close. But for a Gorn I'd just ask to see it's passport By the time anything evolves to have opposable thumbs, upright stance and sentience then I don't think evolving a means of suckling its young is that much of a leap.... there's a lot less evolution involved in modifying the purpose of a secretory gland than there is in modifying skeletal structure or intelligence. As creatures evolve, one of the first things to go will be eggs, it's not something that's likely to result in a particularly advanced race. Mammals evolved from the same creatures as reptiles, who's to say that there's not a few creatures that cross over? E.g. the sloth needs to bask in the sun to kick start its metabolism, just like a reptile, Echidna and the platypus lay eggs, the platypus is poisonous, even though in most other respects it ticks the boxes for 'mammal'. Lots of wierd stuff on our planet. Anyway, with the power of the mainstream media I'm sure most little Gorn girls want to weigh eighty pounds, forty of which is bobb. |

Hey Jose, your post got me curious about all I'd forgotten about platypus. Get this: they have mammaries with no nipples!  Wikipedia, check it out. |

They are pretty odd..... studied them a fair bit at uni. The males are venemous and they can sense emf, allows them to track prey under mud by registering the minute electrical impulses all animals give off. Totally bizarre and fairly alien when compared to other 'mammals'. Kangaroos and other marsupials etc.... lack real nipples too, they haven't evolved that far and still 'sweat' milk from a modified sweat gland. That's all a nipple is really. If that's already on our planet, then a humanoid reptile with bobb isn't all that bizarre is it? |

And if you want weird, look up the Tuatara...... that's a special little guy, maybe he'll evolve into the Gorn?

Also OT, Apparently foxes can sense a mouse using the magnetic field of the earth. They are like twice as likely to pounce accurately if they can manoeuvre themselves south so they can jump on the north, south axis. Wacky world. Yeah, I'm ok with humanoid lizard breasts now.

I can tell what direction I am facing and I am usually within ten minutes of correct time. It is an unusual world.

I can tell what direction I am facing If this means you can do it without the sun, or the stars, i can do it too.... the weird part of it is that i need to visualize in my mind my classroom when i was 6y.o., rotate it in the space and only then i know where's the North...  |

Parduz, same here, but I have to visualize the front foyer of my childhood home and orient myself to know what is north.
My tear ducts can also shoot a few feet as my optometrist has found out.

Eye-spitting Compasstian Reptiloids with mammary glands and a primitive third eye that is covered by scales at the age of three months.
This has been an interesting read

I can always tell the exact time, usualy to within a few seconds. I've been able to do it for as long as I remember. I just need to orient my right wrist in front of my eyes, works a treat.  |

Cardassian women have knockers, so do the Voth, and they're both reptiles. Nyah.

No offense, Dave, but knowing directions, telling time within a matter of minutes and knowing how long to set the timer on the microwave for are all male traits. I worked with a woman that once put a bag of popcorn in the microwave for 20 minutes. The smell of burned popcorn filled the WHOLE center. |

Other than the ones that don't cook with an oven, most women I know, with some frequency, forget to move the setting from Preheat to Bake. I never seem to have that problem and none of the men I know that also cook never have that problem either.
I chalk that up to two factors:
1. The men I know that cook are very good cooks, and
2. They are men and therefore will never admit to messing up.

Blimey! I swore that I'd posted these in Okum's thread but apparently not! My memory is getting shocking! So, here they are, the Caitians and Edoans in a sort of Okum style to go with his Trek minis. Crow Scarecrow, is it okay if I add your Caitans & Edoans to the Far Trek G-plus group? Some members saw pictures of mine using your Edoan and they wondered where to get them. Thanks |
