Bolian Tactical Officer aboard the USS Saratoga
Head: Tom Paris
Torso: Geordi La Forge
Arms: Geordi La Forge
Hands: Data
Legs: Geordi La Forge
Tricorder: DataCompleted: around 1997
Details: This was my first (an currently only) attempt to make the entire bridge crew of the USS Saratoga. For those who don't remember, the Saratoga was the Starship that Sisko was commander of when they encountered the Borg at Wolf 359. You can see all of the action in "Emissary," the first episode of DS9.
The unnamed Tactical Office was seen extensively in the opening sequence and is the one who drug Sisko away from his dead wife and to an escape pod before the Saratoga exploded.
The head is Tom Paris. I sanded down all of the hair and used Supersculpy and a lot of patients to sculpt the head seam and the ears. When I painted the head, I was able to mask off the original eyes, so that I didn't have to repaint them. The body is mostly Geordi's, save for the hands, which were from Data. The open hands seemed to work better with the character.
The tricorder was from Data. I cut it, so that it was folded, then gave it a quick paint job. Shame on Playmates for not painting their accessories.
