You do seem to be heading in the right direction as to your thoughts, observations and final decisions, Morkonan. What a trooper you are!!! I have to admit to sometimes taking a back seat when watching perfectionist creators like yourself bring life to things that might otherwise remain unfinished or imcomplete or not quite right and perfect. I completed building a full size Dalek (he's beautiful) taken from a 70s Dr Who show style a few years back now, and I did on occasion (have to admit again) cut corners when my 'back was up against the wall' during the fifteen month construction process. But in the end the blood, sweat and tears that were shed during that time were put aside when Zek was finally completed!!! 

Yes those leotard side laces do vary don't they?!? I've seen those thigh length ones dangling in some of my image collection, and often feel like heading on in there and attacking them with a dandy pair of scissors... I think I'd melt to my knees in fan admiration before I ever got to that stage though... 

Oddly enough, the series is currently running on UK cable TV right now... I always love watching repeats of the show - and notably all the Moonbase action. I'll try adding an image of the12-inch  Lt Gay Ellis action figure if i can locate them. just as a comparison. 

Regards...
