I plan to do one for Troi as well once I get another chair. The armrests are separate pieces superglued into the main chair body. I had to cut them out but there may be an easier way to do it. What gets me is that DST only had to create 4 caps for the armrest holes and they could have done this themselves. The chair is a little rough where the armrest holes are because I used hot glue sanded over. I might experiment with putty or caps myself for Trois chair. Im sure there is an easier way to do this and make it look a little better!

Nice work!

What's particularly cool is the way you positioned the two chairs. Based on how the bases fit together, it's like they were designed to interconnect!

Deanna's chair really would fit in great...

DST could've done a great job with just a little more effort, but instead did the bare minimum to get people to buy their product?

Shocking.

Nice. What paint and color did you use to paint the armrest to match the color?

Excellent work hsbr!

I hope DST give us the other chairs at some point...I'm not creative enough to do what has been done here!

Very nice work! If memory serves Riker and Troi's chair had a bit of ribbed stitching on the armrest area .
