Description
Right, I'll assume you did the homework I set you yesterday...so what's it all about? John mentioned in his post that he'd done an episode guide for his Trek / MASH hybrid and in commenting I said " I'd love to see it ". John very kindly sent it to me, it is a complete alternate time line from TOS to Voyager were John has replaced the 'true' characters with the stars of MASH and other notable comedy characters. There then follows the episode outlines for all the TOS episoded..... 'MASH'd. Well, I asked and John has given me permission to 'play' with his wonderful idea......."Please!! if you enjoy this and choose to comment, always bare in mind, it's my interpretation of John's original idea, I just hope I can do it justice!!!
BASIC PREMISE.....After several years of failure, Gene Roddenberry gives up on trying to sell his idea of a 'Wagon Train To The Stars' and turns his attention to other projects. Along the way he strikes up a friendship with Gene Reynolds, who is likewise having no luck selling his idea for a tv show based on an obscure novel about doctors serving in the Korean War. While commiserating about their twin failures, they hit upon the idea of combining their projects into a single unified proposal....a comedy-drama set on board a starship in the 23rd century. The basic premise ' Starfleet personnel serving on board the 'USS Enterprise', registry NCC-4077, alternate deep space exploration with hours of some notable high jinx' and T*R*E*K was born.......
CASTING CALL... At the start of the first five year mission, Henry Blake is the ships Captain, Benjamin Franklin Pierce, aka 'Hawkeye' is the Chief Helmsman, 'Trapper' John MacIntyre is Chief Engineer. Margaret 'Hot Lips' Hoolihan is Chief Medical Officer. The Frank Burns character is now known as S'rank, a full blooded Vulcan who serves double duty as both Science Officer and First Officer. R'adar, who is half Vulcan on his Mothers side, serves as Communications Officer, while Max Klinger is now a Yeoman. Father Mulcahy is now Ships Navigator Lt Mulcahy......
MY CONTRIBUTION..... I've always said I don't do too many 'figure based' renders as they're too much like hard work....well this is going to be pretty much 'figure based'....so 'long term' and occassional. The characters above are all M3 with new heads generated in FaceGen3D, the females are dear old Posette....yes, she's still alive :-) I'll try to keep up with credits as I go along, but I'll start with a big thank you to Mylochka and Excalpro at ShareCG and Excalibur Productions for a vast array of ST goodies..... OK! are we ready?
"SPACE!.....the final frontier....these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's 5 year mission....to seek out new jokes and new comedy pratt-falls.....to boldly go where no comedy has gone before!!....weeeee ahhhhh woooo woooo woooo wooooo!!!

Bravo Neil and what a great line up!!! I particularly like the Henry Blake with his hat and Kilnger figures.... great detals mate lol. This really should be made by a TV network :)

This is AWESOME!!! The figures are really close to the actors and the whole setup sounds like a hoot. I'll keep this space open for further developments.

Y'know, you posed Blake with 7 crewmembers... that makes them... "Blake's 7" Speaking of sci-fi series...

I have one thing to say about this: "OMG!!!!" Yeoman Max Klinger really knows how to accessorize! I mean, who else can pull of that hat and purse? This is great. Thanks for the laugh:
