My First TOS P2 Hero Build

[stapleton13]

Well its been awhile, But I am almost finished with a TOS P2 I picked up.

I started with a semi hollow resin kit I had. After a year or so of picking up parts, and ideas on the board. I decided to try a hero build of this prop.

First I began by routing it out a great deal more so that I could get the P1 to have both the moving parts, and electronics from a AA phaser. Although I haven't finished The P2. I do intend to add a seprate set of playmates electronics to it as well so that both will function.

Here is a few pictures of what I have so far.

That's... not bad! :cool

So the AA electronics fit in there leaving enough room for a rising sight as well? Awesome.

So what about the pistol? Will you have a second set of electronics in there? or will you trigger off of the P1 electronics somehow...

(EDIT: whoops, you say you're going to yse Playmates electronics for that. Where's my coffee...)

I did have to make some mods to the AA electronics, but it did finally fit. I cut about 1/4 inch off one side if the circuit board to get it to fit. I then soldered jumper wires to the board to make up for the missing traces.

Hey man!

Nice phaser!



I look forward to seeing the rest of the build up process.

Thank you for that URL.

Hearing a "looking good" from you must mean I'm on the right track.

Thanks

That's looking good
It's interesting to see and hear what electronics your using.
Good stuff.

Well here it is.

I intend to change the P1 indicator, But for now I have an old one I had taped in place. I also haven't done the electronics in the P2 yet. I'm still kicking the idea of a retractable P2 emitter around.

This has been a really fun project, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without all the help, and advice I got from the board. For that I'd like to thank the community.
