I've already sawed it in half, hollowed it out, and cut off the rear to extend the P1 cradle by 3/16" to accommodate my JL P1. My electronics will be basically the same Adafruit Trinket-based project I'm currently doing for my STIII phaser, but more elaborate. Only planning four modes, Heat, Stun, Kill, and OL. I'll be using an RGB LED, so heat will be orange, stun green, kill blue, and I think for OL it'll just blow up for real. Or maybe fall to the floor, pop open, and raise a flag that says "KABOOM!"I missed out on the MM, it came and went long before I knew about it. Are you gonna fillet that MM or just hollow it out?
I will definitely do a build thread. Right now, though, I'm on the job from hell and it'll be another couple of weeks before I can even get back to work on it. In the meantime, last month I finished a TWOK belt and a TOS belt. I have lots of pictures, but again I just haven't had time to post. I'll be doing a thread for those both here and on Starfleet1701st. They really, really came out nice.Sounds cool. I'll do an electronic version someday, but for now I'm just doing hero props. No worries Tom, phaser talk is on topic as far as I'm concerned. And thanks for the pics mobius, I was gonna post them but I couldn't find where I saved them. Those were cool builds.
Looking forward to a build thread asa.
My Holy Grail prop is still a full top to bottom replica of the original "hero" TOS Phaser with all the same materials to match the original too.
After that the electronic versions are nice to have too.
Seeing Rob's work is like a looking glass back through time to the creation of the phaser.
It's an incredible amount of work to match the original TOS Phaser I know. That's the amazing part. Years back I had no idea that the TV show "hero" phaser was so intricate.
Oh I'm still around.
I can't believe anybody remembers the Twin Sons thread. Those builds were great fun, but clearly nothing compared to this level here.
I've actually been following this thread with awe and admiration.
I'm green with envy.
What an awesome chronicle of a journey through P2land.
It's also really fun to see the who's-who of the Phaser world checking in and paying their respects.
Awesome thread.
