Hi everyone! Now that the Mayweather helm project is all but wrapped up, I thought it would be cool to dabble in something different. So, as with the above mentioned build, DST/AA got our juices flowing with promises of wonderful Borg queen, Seven of Nine figures etc, and alcoves to display them on. Sadly it never happened. I am simply looking to build three alcoves on which to display my Klingon, Hirogen and Cardassian Borgs. They will be internally illuminated and the green plasma screen things will also function.
Here's the start I have made.

As always, my sincere thanks to you all! Hoping to get back to this build now that the Mayweather helm project is complete. I have a few surprises in store yet for this build....

Finally back on this project and making some long overdue progress! The whole front section is pretty much complete now except for the "crimped tubing" effect which I do in Milliput.

The disc  section has been a bit of a challenge to say the least but I am happy to see it completed. Lots of detail to be taken care of.

The side panels will be equally detailed

Heres one for sizing with a figure.

I am really pleased with how this is coming together so far. More soon!

I've had a busy couple of days but I did manage to provisionally install the overhead plasma display. Here are a couple of short videos to show you how it looks.
