I just finished up some commission work on some Star Trek 3 and 5 communicators and though I would post some pics. These are super nice kits and were a lot of fun to build.
I could not fit the battery holder in the 5 Communicator but the rest fit perfect.
Lid hinge:
I built this with electronics about a month ago..Turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself. Kit was stapleton, brass and electronics is Federation Surplus.
That came out really good. I am pretty sure the ones I built were Stapleton kits. The electronics were federation surplus, mid plates were custom brass, and I am not sure who made the lids (I don't think those were Federation Surplus).

The lids were from FLM Concepts before they went belly up and defaulted on a bunch of orders. I think we were some of the very few
people who received their orders.
Yes, they were Stapleton kits. I have a bunch of his replicas and they are some of the best you can get.
