I opened the Spock box today. Spock is bigger than the AMT Spock/snakes kit Spock. So maybe 1/10 scale. No scale is listed but Spock is about 6 3/4 inches tall, and he is crouched a bit. The AMT Spock is 6 inches so 1/12.

I think the Horta is done. I got the shaggies on the bottom. I went with groups of 3 closely spaced.

I can easily add more if I decide, but I think this looks good.

Here is crouching Spock and Horta:

And standing:

I'm not that impressed with the Horta figure that came with Spock. She is molded into the stand and kind of soft on detail and only has 2 colors. The Spock figure is too large to go with my Horta I think.

Mmmm, Crunchy eggs!

A bit more work today. I started on the Shaggy Fringe buy cutting many pieces of kevlar rocket shock cord.

And painted them brown:

Next I have to figure out the best arrangment for them on the bottom of the Horta. Evenly spaced or in small groups.

Also I found this on ebay for $17 shipped, a bargain I could not pass up.

I'm not sure what, if anything I'll use, but it's cool.

More eggs!!! I wanna Horta omelette!

Sadly for her, she knows all too well. At last count i think i have 40? Most are TOS.

Not much work done, I did set up the vac former to make a few wall sections.

At least your wife knows what a phaser is. Mine doesn't.

Thanks!

My wife keeps saying "Please, no more phasers". 

Greg, The Horta is not quite done. I need to add the shaggy bits to the bottom and I'm thinking of reworking the wound. I also need many more eggs!

The Horta came out great, well done!

And I like the entire shelf/dio too.

I love your Trek shelvies March71! Thanks for sharing- you have the coolest toys!!! 

Thanks!

That one of 7 Star Trek shelves.

I like Star Trek.

Ha!  That's cool.   I like your Star Trek shelf

Thanks!,

This is where I am now:

I am going to re-work the wound a bit, and I only have 10 eggs. More are needed I think.

That's awesome Mach71! Cool idea and love how she's coming along.

Red is on the lava tubes:

Washed Momma Horta with some rust, and airbrushed some .55inch metal balls with a purpleish mist so she can have some eggs.

Thanks very much everyone!

I put some gloss yellow on the lava tubes, and pulled 3 more Horta's, just to see what looked good.

here they are with the 1/12 AMT Spock/snakes kit:

You can see that I have started some detail dark green shading. It's very evident on the BluRay screen caps. It would never have been seen on a 1966 RCA 25 inch TV!

I added some red colored epoxy to give the lava tubes some surface variation. On the other 3 have just started the lava tubes. 

I also added the "wound" from when Kirk and Spock shot at her with the phaser-2's.

I Looks SUPER! Will be super cool to put in a rock  setting dio with some of her eggs.  

This is great fun to watch.

Always a treat to watch a creative mind, something I wish I have but don't.

Don't forget the "No kill I" etched into the base!  

You have some ingenious ideas Mach

Wow, I'm liking this!

As Bones would say,

"I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer."

Next I got out the 2 part sculpting putty for the lava tubes. It has about a 45 min work time.

Some flat yellow paint:

It's starting to look like a Horta.
