No, the DST's are based on the HMS phasers used on DS9's Trials and Tribulations

I good to know.
I like anyone here loves a nice TOS phaser replica even if it isn't perfect.
Was it?
Was it? Okay I was thinking it was based on 23rd Century for some reason. Good to know - thanks all for the correction
Yep. Those early replicas and convention specials are very nostalgic for people. It wasn't until the 90s when the Jein hero showed up for reference, after all.
And, of course, Brad Nelson has a cult following.

I'm only 54, yet I remember going to conventions in the early 80's and everything TOS was super expensive to a teenage kid.... I remember the 23rd century kits a thing of beauty...
The one replica that holds a super soft spot for me is the DST Tricorder.

$250,000 thousand strong before interest.....
Ah, you’re still young! What a nice collection, but unfortunately, 5 is a number within sacred geometry that can set up a harmonic which may potentially destroy your tricorders at any time. Send them to me for the interim just to be safe. I’m looking out for your safety.
Speaking of replicas…

I've been commissioned to build a TOS hero phaser 2. I had started a build several years ago, but I got sidetracked and put it aside. It was made back before all the great reference we now have was available. I wasn't on the interwebs back then, a lot of you guys were discovering all the...

What the ph1 rails look like on the other “authentic” hero look like- plant on or the Jlong style rails?

I almost wonder if the Wand Co... didn't copy Robn1's replica... I remember when he did kits. I got a set of his phaser 1 shells back in the day....Speaking of replicas…

robn1 was so methodical and meticulous in his fabrication, following the currently known dimensions and plans, and it’s evident in the resemblance here. His lines are slightly sharper, but he was representing a “newly minted” sidearm. It was, and remains, the ultimate collectible for those fortunate enough to have scored one!Speaking of replicas…

Both the Jein hero and the TMOST have the plant-on rails. When Wah redressed the props early in the first season, he glued the rails to the upper shells.

Wait til they ask which is the most accurate way to attach side rails to a mid-grade.....
I always tend to recommend water slide.... lol
You joke, but waterslide metallic decals would be a viable way of doing it, if one didn’t want to paint them.

You're right, JL is entirely capable of manufacturing the parts in his own shop. Unlikely he would use anyone else's.
