Scale: 1/10

"At times, I'm thinking I'm living in a dream... Strange machinery and an alien technology surround me, an I can't figure what it is... I also dream of a battle, taking place somewhere in early 2367 in a system about eight light years from Earth, between the forces of the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Starship. It seems to be to be just one of the most destructive battles in Federation history... But it's just a dream I'm having at present, luckily... or isn't it so?"

"Hey, what happens? Why do I feel disconnected now? Did someone unplug me...? And most of all did I turn off the water/gas before leaving ... ?"

The main feature of the kit is the bust of "Captain Picard" in resin, an old French garage kit in 1/10 scale, that was modified by closing one of his (human) eyes. I then put the bust on a base and inside an alien machinery made up with parts from Games Workshop™ kits so as to make it seem to be in a sort of future Borg-like device as he is disconnected for a while from the Borg ship so as to be asleep, or to be repaired in a way.

The bust is painted with acrylics, leaving oils only for the weathering of the metal portions and ink washings on the overall model.
