In the past I've shared the instructions and decal sheets from the AMT models for Original
Star Trek models.
Printed on the instructions sheet would be an ad for a "Star Trek Jacket," which impoverished me would ignore.
Well, evidently SOME people bought one, because now that eight-dollar jacket is going for two hundred bucks!

On another nerdy fan note, along with the
STAR TREK: The Motion Picture costumes my lovely wife made for me, I cobbled together a few add-ons.
In the movie, Starfleet had wrist communicators.
And each crewmember's uniform contained a perscan, that funny belt buckle which actually was a biometric analyzer.
Meanwhile in
STAR TREK II, the uniforms changed, and they had belt buckles with the Starfleet insignia.
So, for my
STTMP and
STII imitations, here are my rough-and-ready stand-ins:
Not Hollywood quality, but not bad considering they were assembled from leftover car-model parts, cup holders, cassette boxes, and watch straps. Oh, and LOTS of Testor's model glue. And considering they arose from comic-book-adaptation art, and memories of a twice-seen film and the random publicity photo in
STARLOG magazine.
See you Thursday!
