I hope to make this my first prop fully built from scratch by myself.
This will allow me to get practice in nearly all of my skills and utilize nearly all of our tools.
The ST:III communicator has been one of my Holy Grail props that's been so elusive or expensive in the past that I figure the best way for me to get one the way I want it is to make it myself.
This won't be movie-accurate. It's more like the Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise version, which I'm not sure of its origins. Was it a prototype? Was it completely made up for the book? Either way, I like it.
I'll be making the blue bucket from styrene and the shell from clay. It will all be molded and cast in full-color resin.
The grill will be brass.
I do have a question before I begin...are there domed LEDs smaller than 3mm? I'd prefer 1mm or 1.5mm, but I'm having a very hard time finding them. Basically, I want to find LEDs the same size as rice lights.
This will take a while, so don't expect a ton of progress really quickly.
