Hi. I am making my first cab, and I decided to have different side art on each side. On one side it is the captain and their ship from the first 4 TV series ( Sorry, Enterprise!) and on the otherside their worst enemy and their ship. I also have Spock and Data at the bottom of one side, and Q and Harry Mudd at the other. (They're my favorites.) I would like some input. Thanks! ;D
-
What, no Klingons, Romulans or Ferengi?
-
I was doing each captain's worst enemy, with my two favorites at the bottom. Obviously Khan fits the bill for Kirk, (He killed Spock!) and Locutus- well, since Q has no ship, I thought Locutus was the next best thing. I don't watch the other two, but I researched and thought Gul Dukat and the Borg were the best picks. I may add others later.
EDIT: Added Kruge, the Klingon who killed Kirk's son. See first post

Yep, Gul Dukat was a major thorn in the side of Sisko, though the Founders turned out to be his undoing. I don't know if you put her in there, but Janeway definitely crossed paths with the Borg Queen.

I'll probably change the random borg into the Queen. The Queen is a heck of a lot more interesting.
EDIT: DONE! See first post.

Okay this is what I would have gone for:
STOS - Kirk vs Klingons

STNG - Picard vs Romulans

STDS9 - Sisko vs Jem'Hadar

STV - Janeway vs Borg

But if I was you I would just put a life size 7 of 9 on it.

Ya know... I love 2 things about her.
Ahem... anyhow
As for Sisko - I don't think a generic Jem'Hadar type enemy will do. I think the biggest issue for Sisko was that Kai Winn character. I mean, remember the dream sequence where he was kissing on her?

Yeah. That looks right.
As potential art, don't forget the logo's:

I think a good name for the cab is "Sector 001".
I think a good theme for a cab is subtle inside type references.
-
1 other thing - I think Picards worst enemy was Ferengi. As much as I hate those little guys (excluding Quark) it was a constant theme throughout TNG after what happened to him when he had first contact with them.
I dunno... I'm a little torn. I wouldn't put a Ferengi on my cabinet - ever.
-
I don't know, I think I'd rank the Founder Leader and Weyoun above Kai Wynn. Sure, she was a conniving little :censored:, but she was mostly harmless to the rest of the sector. Compare that to Dukat and the Founders...
-
ok - so maybe it was just me who hated her. Dukat is obviously the better choice, I just have such a serious dislike of her character.
As far as the cabinet goes... I wouldn't put these faces on them really.

May be a boring answer, but you could order the sideart for the Star Trek arcade game. I believe it's a standard Movie-version Enterprise firing at a Klingon ship with the Star Trek name in the movie font.
