Athos Posted September 9, 2006 In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the debut of Star Trek (September 8, 1966), I present a Star Trek vignette. In the classic Episode 25, "The Devil in the Dark," Spock makes contact with a horta: The whole trekkian gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=188100 Live long and prosper, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghoulrealm Posted September 9, 2006 It's always a pleasure to see Trek Lego mocs and you didn't even have to use decals to create nice uniforms. It's also rare to see vignettes. Most are ships and most of those are not that great. 007 also has some pretty good trek mocs as well. Someone else had a nice Galileo shuttle but I forget who that was (it was in their brickself folder, no post of it yet) Did you upload these on brickshelf a while ago? I think I remember seeing some of them before. I sometimes wish that TLC picked up the Star Trek licence instead of Star Wars or better yet, both licences. I beleive megablocks released an enterprise D, It was a decent design but as usual it was :-X plastic quality, so I didn't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted September 9, 2006 I sometimes wish that TLC picked up the Star Trek licence instead of Star Wars Blasphemy! :-P I don't like Star Trek, but I know good work when I see it, great job Athos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted September 9, 2006 Nice work there again Athos ;-) I always wonder where you will venture in your next installments hehe !! I am definitly not a Trek fan so your vig doesn't speak to me at all. Sure I know the Vulcan in blue but what (or who) is Horta ? No idea. Show us more ;-) BTW, I edited your post to show the pic directly ;-) *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraPrime Posted September 9, 2006 Nice work. I am a trek fan, and love TOS - this ep was one of the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted September 9, 2006 Cool work. The Devil in the Dark is one of my favorite episodes and your Horta is sweet.... 8- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted September 9, 2006 Looks nice. I am quite fond of TOS but I've never seen this episode. I like your figs even with out fancy customization although I think the phaser could be improved, for me the bat uzi/hand gun works nice. Most are ships and most of those are not that great. 007 also has some pretty good trek mocs as well. Someone else had a nice Galileo shuttle but I forget who that was (it was in their brickself folder, no post of it yet) My two mocs are from TNG, but the best TOS moc that I've seen so far is one of Baronsat (see more pics here), one of our recent mebers. He also has some great star wars stuff too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also has some great star wars stuff too! That was the other person I was reffering to. ... but what (or who) is Horta ? No idea. The Horta was a rock boring alien. The miners were destroying it's eggs which happen to look like rock spheres. She started killing the miners out of vengence, and the moc is of the scene where Spock mind melds to discover all of this...dun dun dah! I heard that Star Trek is quite popular in France. Is that so? Not that you have to like it, but it is the "logical" choice. the horta with some eggs in the background the melding 'peace and long life' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted September 10, 2006 ghoulrealm, Yes Star Trek is still huge in France: original show + all the spin offs like Entreprise, Voyager, Deep Spce 9... I never said i didn't like it, I just never entered into the atmosphere of the show ;-) Many tks for the Horta explenation, I now perfectly understand Athos' vig ;-) *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattZitron Posted September 10, 2006 Nice Mocs! I love it when people do MOC figs the same way I do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeMI6 Posted September 10, 2006 I've never been attracted to Star Trek either, but these simple MOCs work very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Thrawn Posted September 10, 2006 I've not seen the episode, but the figs are really well done. The thing on the floor is also well done too without to much detail. Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
