Khan, or Khaaaaaan, is one of the most memorable characters in Star Trek. Seven Star Cosplay has recently completed her take on the lead from Wrath of Khan, and she spared no detail. She even made the eel Khan used to uh, persuade his prisoners. She’s poured a lot of time into the costume; she spent weeks just working on the jacket between constructing the pattern and hand-stitching almost all the details. The necklace alone took two days.
She made the bug of a sculpt-and-bake polymer clay and you can get an idea of the scale in the above photo — she’s holding it in a basket. See a before and after look at the Ceti eel below.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
