This will be a display of all four AMT vinyl Star Trek figures.

First, I built the figures and stood them up in my first display concept idea. Scotty would be on the deck above in front of a section of bridge railing, the rest below. The Enterprise from the TOS 3-ship set would be included to dress up the area in front of the figures legs.

It was at this point that I realized the figures needed some adjustments. McCoy's body was too wide, as well as his head not being quite right and Spock had some back problems. Kirk's shoulders also needed adjustments, but those have already been done as of these pictures. I also knew something was wrong with Scotty, but I couldn't figure out what.

I stood the figures next to each other. Unfortunately, all I have is the "after" shot, but I figured out Scotty's problem - height. He was as tall as the rest of the figures. In fact, all four figures were almost exactly the same height.

Since it's easier to cut off than it is to add on, I used Spock as the reference and shortened the other figures accordingly. I used a ruler as a guide to check the relative heights.

Kirk and McCoy were shortened at their boots. I cut the boots off at the pant cuff, hollowed out the cuff a bit and sunk the boots back into them. It was also at this point that I modified McCoy's body width. Scotty was also shortened considerably.
