Heresy's Inspector Jones converted to a Star Trek Tellarite
I took the body of Heresy’s Inspector Jones and swapped the head with a Reaper creature called a “Duergar” (whatever that is) to create a Star Trek Tellarite. I put on some greens to fix the hair and nose to more closely resemble the pig-like aliens from the planet Tellar. The computer console is from Armorcast. I think an important element of this mini is the angle in which I make him stand. I put it so he's not even looking at the dials. He's no Starfleet eager-beaver but likely an asteroid miner or merchant on break instead. Note: There seems to be a discrepancy from the original series and the latest series Enterprise on their appearance and even how many fingers Tellarites have. I have not made any adjustments to Inspector Jones’ fingers. From Wikipedia: In Star Trek: The Original Series they are portrayed as having three fingers, but in Star Trek: Enterprise, not only is their facial makeup updated, they also have five fingers. Overall the depiction in the original series is different from the Enterprise depiction, but this can easily be explained as simply due to the limitations of makeup in the sixties. In Star Trek: The Original Series there was also one small inconsistency of the Tellarite hands. One Tellarite seen in the episode "The Lights of Zetar" had hands with 4 fingers and a thumb, while all other Tellarites seen throughout the entire series had hands with only 2 fingers and a thumb.
