Entire Figure : Odo from "Necessary Evil"
Completed: late 1996
Details: This was my first Star Trek custom figure. When the USS Defiant is pulled back into time to Space Station K-7, Odo puts on the outfit of an alien merchant/explorer. This was visually one of my favorite episodes for all of the bright colors and creative (cheap) set designs. I began work on this figure before Playmates announced that they too would be making an Odo figure from this episode. I actually prefer this one myself, although I suppose he looks a little heavy next to the other figures.
The base for this figure was Odo from "Necessary Evil", since it had a high turtleneck color. I sanded down the vest at the bottom and sculpted everything else with Supersculpy.
The largest chore came in mixing the hair color of Odo. Playmates always went with a dark brown which was entirely wrong. Seven color variations later, I stumbled across this color which I think works. If you're curious, the trips on the turtleneck where hand panted.
The tribble is a small craft pomp pomp ball. I have dozens of these running around with my displayed Trek figures. They're cute and fun and add some interest to the display.
