I just ran across this on the web. Got to see it to believe it !!! :cool
Link: Star Trek Phaser original design - hero prop designed and built by a.j. catalano
He has a video link to youtube to show the detail. This thing lights up - working dials - everything except vaporizes a Klingon ! I do not know WHO A.J. Catalano is or if he is an RPF member - ALL I know is that his work ROCKS !!!
"Phaser model designed in Rhino 3D, plastic body parts grown on Objet printer. Machined metal parts.
Incorporating much of Wah Ming Chang's original design aspects of the Phaser 2 from 1966. The updated version is scaled to the same size as the original design.
This updated design incorporated classic Trek design elements along with some Next Gen features as seen on the ribbed handle.
This working model incorporates a servo to extend and retract the tip and muzzle." A.J. Catalano
Had to share it.
