I'd like to share my head swaps too. Most are for Starship Exeter, but not all. Starship Exeter can be found at: http://homepage.mac....starshipexeter/ There you can see what the real actors look like. You can see the
action figures here also:
I'll start with a trio someone told me about: TMP Uhura and Ilia Probe, and a Savvik. Simple head swaps and paint make
Movie Uhura, TMP Ilia (still looking for Decker ideas) and a sexy Savvick you shouldn't show your wife/mother.
And now the Cast and crew of Starship Exeter:
First up, Capt. John "Quincy" Garrovick, Captain of the Starship Exeter, as shown in "The Tessaurian Intersection".
TTI is actually the second movie made by these guys. Calhoun's head on a green shirt Kirk.
(Take the Kirk head and put it on Calhoun's body for a real cool looking Kirk.)
Commander Jo Harris is a Jadzia Dax repainted. Note the strap on the tricorder. My first foray into sculpting, LoL.
Commander Paul Cutty is a Sisko head, the bald one with the goatee, on a TOS Scotty body.
B'fuselek is a TOS Andorian on a painted Sulu body. (I couldn't keep buying whole sets for just Scotty)
Chang as his younger self (you'll have to download the first movie "The Savage Empire") is his older self's
head on a TOS Koloth body.

Nice job. Our Ilia's and Uhura's look a lot alike. I painted Uhura's neck, department strap and wrist to match the grey she wore in TUC. However I used a Torres head to go on the Ilia body...don't know, she just seemed to match the skin tone the best and I was going to use the Saavik head to try and do a custom Nurse Ogawa.
Regarding Decker, the best custom of him I've seen has been a TMP Spock body with a Pike head and FEMO hair. I'll try and put up a picture when I get home tonight....it's on my home computer.

Very nice Tom....I really like the uniform Ilea.
I would like to see the Decker custom you have a pic of Wildcard.

Thanks, Artistix, and Wildcard, I'd like to see your Ogawa as well. Would maybe a Kieko head work as well?
While I'm posting, I made a Dr. Selar with Sela and a Jadzia Dax. She turned out fair.

I didn't around to finishing the Ogawa figure before I moved, so all of her parts are sitting in storage waiting for the day when I get back to her (as well as TWO-TUC Uhura).
As for Decker, here are some of the photos of others' customes I've collected over the years for inspiration. *Please note that these are not my personal customs, I just keep them for future reference and inspiration for when I get back to making mine*:
Here are other customs I've seen and collected on my photobucket album

Wow, Tom! Your Selar looks awesome!!!
When I was a young'un collecting Playmates figures, I remembering wanting to get two Selas to paint one of their hair black to make a Cmdr. Toreth, but alas... I did not.

Nothing is stopping you now!
Now, if I can get a Troi, Picard and Data as Romulans all in uniform, I'll have a Romulan Ship's crew. Man, you guys have inspired me!
