Aztek Dummy Update 1/17/25 - Admiral Ball - Part 1

[@robertherriges6807]

Another great build video. Lucy would be amazed at the longevity of Star Trek and I think that the TNG era uniform/chair fits that thought well.

[@markfergerson2145]

This kit is a wonderful tribute to the patron saint of Star Trek. It’s also a great looking kit, the seat would fit in on any TNG or Voyager era bridge, and the face sculpt is just a masterpiece. Kudos to the sculptor. No pressure getting the makeup and hair perfect Lou. 😁

Mr. Dalmaso, the single coolest thing you've done yet. Thank you for honoring the gal that saved Trek. o7

[@slougo5909]

As Always, Great Work Lou. You should have your Own TV show, Your a Very Entertaining Host. Thanks for Sharing

[@sprueVerse]

Great fun watching this show. Bravo!

[@angelohernandez6060]

Cool concept for a kit! It looks like a very pleasant and fun build. Even though what I've seen in some articles and interviews she in real life wasn't always pleasant to work with. But God bless her, we probably wouldn't have had Star Trek without her or Desi!

[@johnsansone6848]

Hi Lou, thank you for sharing you skills with us. Can't wait for this project to be completed. Just a note take it for what it's worth. On the triangle cut on the pants at the boots I believe there is colored piping from the division ie it would be the burgundy in this case. Just a note throwing it out there. Thanks again

[@ghostbustersquickresponseu5159]

This is awesome! I love Lucy’s part in Star Trek lore.

[@williamporter7596]

Nice work on the chair. Looking forward to seeing the kit completed.

[@tombower450]

Excellent subject and kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@snmdair]

I love it! Great choice picking up that kit. All you need is a Ricky Ricardo first officer standing behind her.

[@TheBigCat2001]

Looks good so far.

[@vidar7106]

Great idea for a figure kit! Looking forward to how this turns out.

[@ThiloAdamitz]

I watch, and I listen, and all the time I ask myself, "Why doesn't he raise the armrests?" 🙂

[@aztekdummy]

" ye canna change the laws of physics! " or "The Chair is the Chair, what can be done?" take yer pick

[@robertt7002]

@@aztekdummy OR, the arms don't HAVE to be sitting flat on the chair, and you could fill the chairs' slots.?

[@aztekdummy]

Then they would just be hovering above the arms.

[@les4767]

Hi Lou. This is fantastic. I'm wondering, however, if there's a version with Lucy in a TOS uniform sitting on a Captain Kirk TOS chair? That would be more appropriate as that's the show Lucy saved. Just a thought....

[@aztekdummy]

@@les4767 that was my thinking as well. Jesse did a fantastic job recreating the meme of a voyager era Lucy in the Captain's chair. In the vein of Janeway. But you would have to imagine that the Kirk chair might be harder to replicate in the original cast resin with all the complicated angles where the rounded contours of the Janeway era seat just has a more feminine vibe.

[@mikearnold8447]

Would it have been possible to add a spacer between the armrest and the supports to raise them up a bit?

[@eddieday-reilly5144]

Another great build, Lou. Thank you so much for sharing. You have a good eye for selecting the shades of paint..... not sure....is it your left or right eye?? lol Thanks for steering me in the direction of where to locate a respectable size Enterprise - E kit. Very much appreciated......... I wonder if we'll ever get to see a 1/350 Enterprise F as seen in Picard ? I have just paid up via a British Model Store, for the Polar Lights Enterprise refit 1/350 scale that's coming out later this year..... Do you know anything about this kit, as in is it the same kit or will there be subtle differences? By that I mean have they learnt anything from you guys who've already built one? Just started receiving my 1:2 scale Dalek from Hachette Partworks but I'm going exercise patience and wait to actually build it, because I want to give it a paint job. It's a Time War Dalek so I want to paint it up to resemble a member of the Eternity Circle. Are you also getting this kit? I understand it is available over there. Again, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience. You are appreciated very much. Cheers Lou!

Great video, but a hyper link to the website would be helpful!

[@thomaslongo5051]

I love Lucy! BTW: I am curious about what you listen to on the radio while you work?

[@Dragon_Werks]

This is excellent, though I do prefer the retro version I saw with her in the First Pilot style uniform.

[@aztekdummy]

they announced that like minutes after i got the original kit. Figures

[@aztekdummy]

but this version works better with the big next gen Captain's seat

[@Azzameen99AZ]

Too bad the pilot-style uniform still has the TNG/VOY chair and the TNG pants.

[@dcolb121]

The first and best Trekkie. Without Lucy, Star Trek wouldn't exist. This is coming out really well. The cushion on the chair looks just right.

[@vidar7106]

What is that paint for the metallic sections of the chair? I think that is the perfect color for the Excelsior metallic sections.

[@aztekdummy]

@@vidar7106 nu worlds brand. Mirrored steel

[@bryantphil5577]

Why not try soaking arm in super hot water though can bend elbow when it softens up

[@aztekdummy]

that doesn't work with printed resin.

[@richardbailey3343]

Hi Lou you should have removed material from the waist or but packing the shoulders is a bad move in my opinion. Regards 😮
