Hi All
After being attacked and becoming severely damaged by a Klingon Battle cruiser the U.S.S APACHE NCC-1968 Captain orders all hands to abandon ship. The escape pods reach the planet SALMAR MINOR VII a muddy swamp planet void of any intelligent life.
Several pods are destroyed by the Klingon Battle cruiser before they could reach the atmosphere, one escape pod does make it and lands in a muddy bog, Science Officer P.T McPhillips and Ensign R.W Stern survive and start to find shelter. Five hours after the landing McPhillips and Stern come under attack by a klingon landing party and they fight hand to hand with the klingons.
After several minutes Stern is able to kill the agressor with his phaser and then turns o help McPhillips, he fires at the klingon and kills him instantly. Stern runs to McPhillips aid and see's he has several wounds inflicted by the klingon, Stern helps him the best he can and then picks him up and starts to find a place to hide till help arrives.
Now the the two must fight for their SURVIVAL till helps arrives.
RECIPE
Figures - the bodies and hands are from Sideshow and the heads are from Dragon, the uniforms are again from D-Art Studios
http://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm. The phaser is a recast from an old SPOCK AMY kit.
Base - is built up with foam core and balsa wood, the figures and scenery were placed in position and then plaster of paris mix was poured in and let to dry. Once dry the plaster was painted dark brown and then a mixture of woodland scenics realistic water and light brown were poured over the top of the plaster to get the muddy water look.
The plants and drift wood are from the local pet shop and the algae is woodland scenics shrubs just broken down and sprinkled over the base.
