Stallion: Best I can figure the bridge seems to be about 1/32nd scale or so. I tried 1/35th scale figures but they're just a shade too small. I don't know anyone that makes figures of the actual officers other than the awful Jim, Spock, and Sulu figures that come with it. So I picked up a set of male and female nude figures from Priesler in 1/32th with the intention of doing my bridge up as some other starship with a generic crew.

Some day, some day, some day I'll get to the darn thing....

I have the bridge and am also looking for correct size figurres. I definately want to fully populate my bridge. I think any figure in that scale is okay, just a little modification and some paint. Scotty  and Chekov are just generic white men with brown hair at that scale, right.

but the women in mini skirts, that's a bit harder to do.

I will let you know if I find a source, and you do the same. Post it here.

Good luck with the hunt Stallion,,,,,   be sure to post some finished pics

Would enjoy viewing!

Let me direct link the site I bought the figures, I'm not pushing Reynault's Imports but I'm not sure who else carries them.

Female figures:

Male:

As you can see from the shots they come in unassembled form and you mix and match the heads, torsos, arms, and legs to get whatever pose you want. And since TOS uniforms were pretty simple and tight building up the uniforms with putty should be pretty simple. They are expensive but you do get enough parts to do eight full figures in a box though.

Airfix multipose figures in 1/32 would work pretty well for male figures too and would be cheaper though you'd have to sand away a good bit of the uniforms.

The two young ladies the small K1A1 dio I did earlier this year were Preiser 'Eve' nudes with clothing built up using Milliput. Wish I had a better photo, if anyone wants to a better view they're not glued to the base and I can detach them for a better close-up.

And on a unrelated note there aren't enough wall panels or chairs to do a complete bridge. I picked up two kits and intend to combine them. Also there is a set of transparent sheets for the viewscreens you can light available as aftermarket. Here's a link to ebay but I think I've seen it cheaper, maybe someone else can give a link?

Please post as you make progress, as I said I have  to do one of these some day............

Andrea figures makes this fellow in 54mm...

They also make Spock, but he is in the later style "Wrath of Khan" thru "Undiscovered Country"  Starfleet uniform

Stikpusher: I've got one of those figures and it's very well done (though I don't think The Shat was ever that thin- even in the old Twilight Zone episodes he was a little chunky) but I don't think it's really 54mm. I looked around for mine and couldn't find it but I swear he's closer to 3 inches or 90mm or so. I may be mistaken though- I'll keep looking for the figure.

Manny: I wonder if you're trying to get me banned too so you'll have a little company next time you get send to the 'cooler'

Anyway here are two more photos- excuse me I hate to post anything let this because what looks decent at two inches / 54mm / 32nd scale when blown up looks like krap....

Second photo is with a console from the bridge set as well as the headless Sulu and Spock to show the figures are close to the same scale.

PS Anyone know why my spell checker flags the word 'Sulu' but not 'Spock' ?????

I tried a bunch of mixed size figures to go with my Bridge kit, and while the Andrea Miniatures are awesome, they a bit pricey. So, I went cheap. Green Army men converted. Hallmark Transporter Keepsake ornament, Marx toy figures, car kit figures, pretty much anything that looked like it might 'fit' roughly to scale. Sadly, the orange-y Marx Bathing Beauties are too big. And so are the Faye and Spike by the turboshaft doors.

the bridge seems too populated

My bad - pardon requested.

I had assumed folks would click on the 2nd image; it's a thumbnail link to the picture album labeled: TOS Bridge Figures test.

I have *got* to remember to not assume as often as I do.   

What are those two cream colored figures on the extreme right in the pic and where did you get 'em?

Joe- good stuff, amazing what you can find with a little creative scrounging.

I love the guy who's kicking back in Kirk's command chair- looks like he needs a beer in one hand and a TV remote in the other. And Jim standing there with his hands on his hips and looking like he's growling: 'Who the are you and what the are you doing in my chair!!!!'

Are the figures for Jim, Scotty, and Spock the ones that came in the kit? I thought they looked pretty soft on detail but your's really look good. Amazing what a great paint job can do with a so-so quality figure.

Great resources!

I think I want to recreate a specific scene on my bridge.

But which scene?

Maybe the Dolman of Elas standing beside Kirk? or Sulu doing is D'Artagnan thing?

Not sure yet.

Thanks for the comments!

The two cream-colored figures are Fay and Spike, from the anime series Cowboy Bebop.  Bandai put out a series of models of some of the ships those characters fly in the series, in 1/72.  And they included 1/24 figures as 'collectible items.'

 Swordfish

The guy who's kicking back in Kirk's command chair is a modified green army man, painted to represent Tim Allen's character from the film Galaxy Quest.  Here's my Garignak holding him upside-down:

 Tim Allen

The figures for Jim, Scotty, and Spock did not come in the kit; they are from the Hallmark Transporter Chamber Keepsake collectible.  They can be found cheaper on Evilbay, if you shop smart.

 crew

The original three styrene figures in the AMT / Ertl kit are:

Spock, standing hands molded to his sides,

Kirk, seated in his command chair,

Sulu, standing with his arms crossed in front of him.

Just don't get any Minimate figures - the proportions are somewhat off...

Minimates

Thanks Joe,

Sorry didn't recognize the Galaxy Quest uniform- been awhile since I've seen it, I have to pick it up on DVD on day.

Never really thought about using the Hallmark stuff, thanks for the tip!
