Data with skin grafts from "First Contact"

Head: Data
Entire Body: Tom Paris

Completed: early 1997

Details: One of the most visually striking images from the Star Trek First Contact movie trailer was seeming data with a patchwork skin graft on his face. I was so taken aback by it, that I had to make a custom of it. I had already began work on this one before the movie came out, but finished it up as soon as the movie was released and I could get accurate references.

The base for this figure was Tom Paris, since it is tall and somewhat thin. The shoulders were sanded down and Supersculpy was used to add the grey uniform shoulders. The right hard was sounded to to remove the lower sleeve and the rolled up sleeve was sculpted on. The head was from a Data figure, with the messed-up hair scuplted on with Supersculpy.

A fun custom that looks very nice beside of the Playmates Borg Queen figure.
