Thanks!
I've managed to pick up a bunch of TOS prop kits and stuff over the years.
It's kind of an obsession....
You get all the cool stuff, Mach.
Thanks Keavdog!
Tanker-Builder Hi! Are those two different versions of "V"ger?
Hi!
Are those two different versions of "V"ger?
Not really,
The back one is NOMAD the front one is M-4, Mr. Flint's robot. Both from TOS.
Some say that Star Trek TMP was a re-do of NOMAD's episod, "The Changling", So I guess it is an early version of V'Ger.
Fun! The collection looks great and he's a great, more obscure addition.
Thanks,
John
Sorry Gary, I missed this this.
The 1st draft of the script called him a "Nueralese Great Ape". Sometime along in the script drafts he was changed to the "Gumato", the credits list him as "Gumato". I guess DeForrest Kelly couldn't pronounce it so they changed it to "Mugato" during shooting.
Thanks! This build was really out of my wheelhouse, I enjoyed it!
I missed your completion! He looks good! With a name like "Mugato", I think he'll be starring in a Japanese movie next. Wonder who came up with that name?
Gary
Doh!
I guess I need to sculpt a tricorder now!
:-)
Science officer: 'Sir, I think we found the missing landing party!!!'
Captain: 'How's that lieutenant?'
Science officer: 'Yes, sir, remember that very fat and happy Muguto we encountered? Here's a big pile of Mugato dung, with a communicator and a tricorder in it...'

I'm happy to have him there!
I made one small addition to Mr. Mugato!
I think I'm done with him for real now!
He looks good with your collection of SF models!
Thank you very much!
He was a fun build that forced me to try new things.
Here he is on display.
Oh cool!!! Such a nice job!!
He looks like he wants to throw down with Kirk but I suppose Spock will do!!!
Just don't stick him in there with Bones...
'Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor not a professional wrestler!!!'
The Mugato is done!
Here he is on display with Spock.
I might make a small phaser 1 to put on the base near the communicator.
I'm very happy with how he came out! This was really outside of my comfort zone.
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
I just posted this in the Figure section.
I'm getting close.
I masked the base today.
And most of the detail painting was started.
His face/hands/feet are Italian sand.
The spines are sand
The horn is light brown.
Sadly I forgot his ears. I'll fix that tomorrow.
The Face is a shade too dark. I might repaint it.
I dry brushed flat white on the Mugato.
I also started on his base.
I think I'm happy with the fur. I'll start the face/hands/spine tomorrow.
MMMMMM;
Youses is doin good wid that critter. Keep on Keepin on !
Thanks Gary!
That's looking pretty good! You're inspiring me.
I decided to try and layer the paint. I started with some Tamiya light tan and grey.
Then added a light coat of flat white.
Then a mist of Tamiya racing white.
The intent was to get a layerd multi tone look. It worked ok, but It didn't give as much contrast as I wanted.
Today, after letting the Mugato cure for a bit, I gave him a wash of very thined light rust.
I'll dry brush some white highlights tomorrow. If that looks good I can start on the face.
I did some filling and sanding, then a coat of Tamiya fine white primer.
He is coming along nicely.
That looks great, you're making fantastic progress here.
Funny, I never noticed his cute little tail in the episode
I got a coat of primer on today.
I'm very happy so far!
Sculpting part 2!
I evened out the arms and built up the rear end of the mugato today.
So far I'm really liking this sculpt!
Thank you!
Very nicely done!
So far I'm happy with it.
One tip I got from another forum is to use rubbing alchohol as the sculpt sets.
I soaked a cotton swab in it and kept smoothing the sculpt. Once the feathering was done I still had time to add the texture.
I used a putty application tool 1st, then the sculpting tool, and finally an Exacto knife.
Ohhhhhhhh, now that looks good!!!
I hope Dr.s McCoy and M'Benga have the anti-venom ready...
