Is not for QMx. Is for me.Sean Dabbs showed off the Seven of Nine sculpt done for QMX. Would be a shame not to see that go into production.

Nice [emoji7]I've always liked the Seasons 1 & 2 TNG uniform, and wanted a companion figure for Picard, so I commissioned a 1/6th scale tailor to make me one. Looks nice, but I need to find a different figure body to fit the uniform better, as well as make height adjustments to match the original QMx Picard. So far so good...View attachment 472317View attachment 472318View attachment 472319View attachment 472320View attachment 472321

Beautiful.
I don’t know why, but it never occurred to me till seeing your pics that I could just remove Picard’s neck to get rid of that awful staining...
I have three of them, and it looks like I will be dremelling off those horrid stained necks.
That costume is amazing. Well done to your tailor.

I got lucky on my QMx Picard because all of the neck staining happens well below the mandarin collar. The extra Picard I picked-up had really bad staining up to the jawline. I used a Hyper Tough 1.5-Amp Rotary Tool kit I got at Walmart for $16. It has a cord, which I prefer -- and it does a great job. You HAVE to use a rotary tool to do the job as there's a lot of refinement needed to remove enough resin material inside the head to get it to fit on the new body neck. My final result is not perfect, but acceptable. I reused the rank pips and comm badge and kept all of the accessories of course.
I'm also going to transfer the magnets inside the QMx uniform to the custom outfit so I can attach the phaser and tricorder. Geewhiz Customs is the tailor I used. They do great work. You have to pay them in full upon commission, and it took them 4 months to get to my order to make the uniform. Patience is needed, but the results are satisfying.
Thats great news. I already like the QMX uniform and I am very happy with the head sculpt. It was just the stains I was upset about. I have three of them and they all have those horrid marks on them.
But as for the dremel work, I do know what’s involved. I have done that on loads of necked sculpts myself to fit them to bodies with necks. I just had a real “Doh!” moment when I realised I could have done that with my Picard figures!
The way I do it is also to fit a neck joint in the head too.
I have also done several where I have hollowed our Hot Toys heads to fit LEDs in the eyes(For Superman, Zod, etc). It’s can be a very rewarding job when you get something looking the way you want it.
