I'll post some pics of my customs here.
My Motion Picture-crew. This one has already been posted:
This one is a picture of season 1 Picard (correct legs), Riker, Worf (correct hairstyle), 2 O'Briens (seasons 1 & 2) and Picard seasons 3-7 with different legs. I couldn't stand that all the Picards in uniform sported wrong legs...
Random TNG, DS9 & VOY crewmembers. I'll have to scratch off the rankpins of Voyager's Ensign Vorik there:

And this is some work in progress:
-Riker without the torn uniform
-Admiral Nechayev
-Admiral Pressman from "The Pegasus"
There's still some paintwork to be done...
I will post more in due course.

Yeah, that happens. Sometimes it doesn't fit because the stems have different lengths and look stupid attached to some other torso.
You could also try to use a utility knife and cut the figures open along the seams. Then you'll have to glue the parts together, obviously, but I find it easier sometimes to work from there.
The Crushers and Trois have those funny black stems stuck into their hollow heads (no pun intended), whereas most of the other figures have the stems as a part of the head. But keep on trying, if you have some spare figures. It'll get better.

This is my version of Commodore Robert T. April. I know, he was only seen in one animated episode, but I thought it would be cool to have him anyway. And there are two more TOS-crewmen with him.
And here's an updated version of my admirals (still not finished, yet) plus Commander Shelby from "The Best Of Both Worlds 1&2" and a more accurate Tasha Yar from "Yesterday's Enterprise".
A lot of blondes in this pic...

I wish I had more time for customizing. I have about 100 custom projects pending but not enough time to work on them. Oh well, next weekend will be dedicated to customizing again.

Would the male Admiral be Erik Pressman from TNG's "The Pegasus" as played by Terry O'Quinn of Lost fame?

Lwaxana Troi's head makes a passable Chapel and there is a TOS Rand out there who would just require a hair resculpt - you should go the whole hog! Real kudos if you can make a DiFalco too

Btw, I've used the Lwaxana-head for the Romulan commander from "The Enterprise Incident". Haven't finished her, yet. Some corrections and some paintwork, and I'll post her here, too.

If you go on Ebay none of the figures are that hard to find. I'm not sure whose head would make a good Difalco though - she was quite pouty. I always wanted to do a full set of DST TMP crew, possibly with a crack at some of the aliens on the Rec Deck but they darn well stopped after Kirk and Spock.

But you're right, I should think about doing Rand, Chapel and DiFalco. I do have a spare Rand-figure, so that's a start.
And as for Di Falco: I thought about using the Edith-Keeler-face. Could work, if you ask me...
