My 1:1 Star Trek Communicator and Hand Phaser prop builds.

Modeling Subjects Science Fiction
1

I recently acquired this set and had a blast constructing them! They are not for the faint of heart…Cutting, shaping, soldiering ETC is required throughout!
The communicator is based on the “GAMMA” prop seen in the original series. Most famously in the Making Of Star Trek Book.
It is Non working…which is fine by me.

The Hand Phaser features a raising site and extending emitter that lights when the thumb wheel is rotated.
Again, I didn’t want idealized props but went for a weathered and used looking effect.

These are way out of production kits from J Long.

Thanks!

You did a masterful job of making those look realistic and functional!

I’d swear they were fully functioning devices just by looking at them.

I did the same thing with a custom built lightsaber I constructed myself (the final Jedi test) and people ALWAYS ask me to turn it on. Which, it doesn’t. Sadly.

Your work here is nothing short of phenomenal. If there was a way to rate this out of ten I’d enthusiastically throw down a 12!

Well done!
