These are some close up views of the new Star Trek figures I have made. Note the bases.
Red Shirt, and the Gold Shirt next to him, have a gray base and the other two have a metallic silver base. "Hero" figures have a metallic gray base in my ruleset. It is subtle enough that unless you are close you won't know they are particularly different.
Under the base I have used a marker to print information. S for Security, C for Command. The other two are named characters, Spock, and Sulu. Since this photo I have developed a way to print a small name tag with my printer so they are easier to read and can contain more information. I also use the letters A for Administration, E for Engineering, M for Medical, and S for Science. Since Security wears Red Shirts and Science wears Blue Shirts there is no confusion despite using the same initial.
Here is my full Star Trek collection, apart from my ship bridge. I have two shuttles and 60 figures. Most Star Trek episodes and movies don't have more than a few people in most scenes so I think 60 figures is enough. There about 24 red, 24 blue, and a few gold figures.

Wow very nice !!! You are on your way to having an entire Starship crew !
Yes, very nice! How do you sculpt and cast your figures?
Mr.4 thank you, I made 60 so far. I doubt the TV series ever had 60 people in a whole episode.
Thanks for the kind words.

J, these figures are cheap plastic figures made in China for model trains and architectural models. Sold on Amazon, ebay and lots of places, painted and unpainted in packages from 50 to 1,000. So no sculpting or casting for me on this project.
I just cut off the flash, scrape off excess detail, no buttons or ties on a Star Fleet uniform, and all done.
More detail on that in a so to be published blog.
Thanks for commenting.
