Hey Guys =D ,
Im thinking about converting some Imperial Guardsmen into some of the guys in Star Trek Deep Space 9, but need some help on how??? Any suggestions please?

Posting reference is a damn good way to help. "Guys in Star Trek" is pretty freaking vague.

I apoligise, I mean the uniforms, how would I get the guardmen to look like them?

It's easy.
They're ALL redshirts.

Or did you mean spoonheads (Cardassians) or ridgeheads (klingons) or odo (bucket of vomit)?

Er... there are a lot of Star Trek uniforms. That's like saying Space Marines only have one color scheme.

From memory all star trek security types wear fabric only. There are a couple of Guard torsos with tunics only, but you would have to do something special to find enough to kit out a whole army

Otherwise you would have to trim off the normal Cadian armour, or maybe GS tunics onto Catachan dudes. Either way its a lot of work.

Amen...though the uniforms are obviously different from the ones in Star Trek,I did similar conversions for my Praetorian Veteran squads using Cadian minis as the basis.
Shave off all the armour wit your hobby knife and then use GS to form and sculpt the tunics.

It is the heads, I recon a bit of green stuff and a sculpting tool would do the job, and for the uniforms I think the Cadian bodies will work, and paint them accordingly to a rank.

There were some "commando" units in ST:V (the search for Shatner's ego) with body armour and all (and phasers with "magazines"), and in ST:VI.

Regular cadian torsos would be fine for them, and the Vox helmets.

Ok Thanks, I'll try it
