So many little goodies to model in SolidWorks and 3D print, it's gonna be cool.

i drafted my own pattern(s) for this, the whole process has been hard as fuq so far but i'm happy with how it's going!!

now onto the next step, borrowing heavily from Vincent Briggs tutorials on youtube

a black bustier with quilting in a texture which hopefully resembles the front part of the borg queen's exoskeleton or whatever

these gloves are highly wack but will be covered with borg nubbins soon so who cares. I have spent at least one working week on glove prototypes and the line must be drawn here, this far no further.

i took a POV pic of both my hands. they are wearing gloves. my prized rug is the backdrop, it's lousy with fabric cuttings etc

also did you know that the borg queen costume varies not only between Alice Krige and Susannah Thompson's versions; but that Alice Krige's costumes also change between First Contact and the "Endgame" episode of Voyager? for example, compare the head apparatus...

Alice Krige in the series finale of Star Trek Voyager, wearing an upside down urine sample bottle filled with LEDs on her head. absolute TV-series budget shit, maximalist (derogatory) Alice Krige in Star Trek First Contact, same character, much more subtle head apparatus, less is more, we love to see it, etc

i drew up some diagrams for eventually designing and 3D printing the borg meat hooks, and something approximating the back side of the bustier; tomorrow i may even think about the pants

do you think there are also some no-name Romulans, Cardassians, etc out there whom she has also tried to seduce, we just never saw it because of Rick Berman's Federation-centric bias?

I think its guaranteed, but I'm rusty on what's canonically the origin of the queen so I might be wrong here but she's of a humanoid alien race and not actually terran human (unless time?) so it's not like she was just waiting for humans. Surely someone from innumerable other races caught her eye

They did stick some extra latex on her neck and/or head to this end, at least I assume it's for that reason (note the cheekbones, jaw and behind ear areas)
