Question for William Shatner's Toupee?

[thainer]

I and a fellow OSW'er are in the initial stages of putting together Kolchak the Night Stalker bashes and I was just wondering what you did to make the camera and tape recorder for yours? As I snitched your headsculpt idea, I thought I might see what you did for his accessories too. Thanks. Mike.

Hi Mike!
For Kolchaks camera I used a cameras from an older (Dragon?) vietnam journalist photographer set.

For Kolchaks tape recorder I used a 9" Playmates Classic Trek Tricorder and just glued a strap on it I stole from something else.

For cameras, you might want to check out www.store-rooms.com for some options if you haven't already noodled around some of the loose part stores.

Hope this helps. Make sure to post pics of your customs when you guys are done!

Thanks. That is a big help. I am already searching for tricorders as yours looks awesome as a tape recorder. Thanks again.

On a different subject concerning the Tricorder. How does it look in 1/6 scale? I was considering using it with custom Star Trek figures. In the pictures it looks a bit small. I know the phasers and communicators look fine in 1/6.

Y'know, unfortunately I'm not enough a Trek fan myself to be able to tell you that, but hopefully the pic above is enough help to gauge it's scale. Plus, I think the 9" Trek dolls are all pretty much dirt cheap right now regardless. If you buy one for the the Phaser and communnicator, you're getting the tricorder with it anyways, right?

Already ahead of you on that. I just won 4 figures in a lot off Ebay and was just curious.
