Anyway I'm calling Archer, Mayweather and Reed done!
Critiques are always welcome!
Basically these are the Enterprise Heads swapped on to a Kirk, T&T O'brien and Dax bodies.
Archer was too short and Trip is suposed to be the shortes, but was the tallest so I also swapped the bottom parts... it didn't really get the scale correct, but now they are all basically the same height.
The Dax base body was re-sculpted to make her a bit taller and her legs skinnier. As soon as I find my epoxy-sculpt modeling solution I'll add Trips scar and finish re-sculpting T'pol's head/hair.
BTW... basically I only re-sculpted the thigh parts on the Dax figure... showing that if DST just re-did those two parts they would have a base figure suitable of nurse Chapel.... 'just say'in DST!
Here's a WIP teaser of Trip & T'pol!

What I'd do is start with what you've done to expose the mid-riff and then resculpt the rest to clean up the over all appearance.
I'd probably try replacing the arms with some TOS arms as I don't think the elbow joint works well, and then use Apoxie Sculpt to "smooth" out the pants and top.
Also she needs the right kind of boot!
you can see it in this shot!

Just a few black paint touch ups is all it needed!

Clean out the cavity in the neck with a rotary tool, use a drill bit if that is the best you have, rubbing against the edges. You could alternately pull the pin from both figures, and use them in the other's bodies. Hope that helps.

Switch out the pegs, they will be like little dumbbells, be sure to return them in the right way.
Put on the new heads, you might as well put Kirk on the Archer body now, to keep it connected to something.
That should work for you, if the bottom of the peg is too small, put some glue in it and let it dry straight up, you dont need the extra articulation.
Good Luck and show us your results... Oh T'Pol will be hard, as she has a different neck then Dax...
