WGP's Classic Star Trek: ***-You-up Kirk pics

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (Yeoman Rand finished)

Agreed on Uniforms. The only thing I didn't like about Nanjin's was the boots. They were extremely fragile - two of mine broke moving them to different bodies. Call me old school, but I like sculpted boots . However, the tunics and pants were A++. The trick was that I think he based his off the original plans, which are still available at Roddenberry.com. He also spent a lot of time getting the right fabric, I remember him telling me how he went all over the place getting the best stuff he could find. It would be a monumental task to do better, but since his stuff is so rare, anything you guys can do would be appreciated .

Wow, glad mine never did that. I was actually surprised how well they held up during the switches.

Oh, and if they don't come in too expensive I'm in for at least 1 phaser rifle.

My boots never broke either and I've swapped them to several different bodies (in fact I just ported all 3 over to new bodies and will be using the WGP heads on them for improved likenesses). The trick is to slide the feet up past the heel of the boots without pulling on the heel, that is were the break can happen.

Put me down for a phaser rifle please!

Aw, yeah. Gotta have a phaser rifle.

Hey gang,
We need your help with something if anyone can help.

First, we need the original Captains Chair dimensions so we can convert that to accurate 1:6 dimensions if anyone knows where to find them.

Second, we just wanted to confirm because I don't actually remember it moving, can Kirks chair swivel? I swear I only remember it stationary but obviously I want to double check so it is correct. Thanks!

Thank you Ironman188 for the blueprints!

It did swivel.

Here are the dimensions for the chair,1/1 AND 1/6...
Pedestal platform width: 130 cm, 21.6 cm
Pedestal platform height: 23 cm, 3.8 cm
Pedestal platform length: 72 cm, 12 cm
Ped. plat. lgth with base: 94 cm, 15.6 cm
Pedestal diameter: 57 cm, 9.5 cm
Pedestal base diameter: 64 cm, 10.6 cm
Pedestal height: 20 cm, 3.3 cm

Seat base width: 68 cm, 11.3 cm
Seat base height: rear:13 cm, 2.1 cm
" " " " " " front: 21 cm, 3.5 cm
Seat base length: bottom:57 cm, 9.5 cm
" " " " " " top: 60 cm, 10 cm
Seat base lip at rear: 5x4 cm, .8x.6 cm

Arm height: front 43 cm, 7.1 cm
" " " " : Rear end,top panel 38 cm, 6.3 cm
" " " " : rear end 14 cm, 2.3 cm
Arm length: 61 cm, 10 cm
Arm top panel rear: 33 cm, 5.5 cm
Arm top panel fore: 50 cm, 8.3 cm
Arm width: 18 cm, 3 cm

Seat avg thickness: 7 cm, 1.16 cm
Seat side: 5 cm, .8 cm
Back rest: lower section: 25 cm, 4.16 cm
Back rest upper section: 20 cm, 3.3 cm

These are based off the plans in the Star Fleet Technical Manual, and I believe them to be fairly accurate. Sorry that they're metric, but that's the format the Manual uses, and I was willing to work to that standard to build my own chair from scratch. If my numbers help the forum at large, so much the better. Any overt show of gratitude for my time and effort would not be un-appreciatted(subtle hint)...PS

The prints didn't help?

What are you planning on making it out of anyway?

No worries. We are making it on computer so we needed measurements to assign. There were no dimensions on the schematics for us to convert.

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (Yeoman Rand finished)

I trust last night's efforts were helpful.I did do up drawings for myself,though they aren't complete;had a little difficulty with the arm section of the chair itself.My research revealed that the basic"seat" portion was a commercially available office chair from 1964 known as a "Madison Office chair".Said chairs are now very collectible,regardless of the Trek connection.Anyway, I can try scanning my drawings if it will help...PS

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (Yeoman Rand finished)

If you need I can send you the actual prints?
The plans I believe are in 1:6 already.

Here are pics of the 1/6 chair I recently snagged on ebay. The two-piece casting allows for the chair to be able to swivel.

So you were the guy that outbid me at the last second......

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (Yeoman Rand finished)

Wow, that chair is sweet, Jiminy. Thanks for sharing!

Since this seems like a good time to update on our chair status, Sean has the designs made, but when he checked into just getting it printed and it was close to $1,000!

So we're still doing it but we want to wait until the interest list grows a little more from the seven interested it currently has before doing it.
