My Landing Party set.

[MARK M3]

My favorite personal Star Trek The Original Series builds.
A Hero Communicator. Complete with wind up stop watch to spin the moire.
A John Long Communicator built to reflect the one in the book The Making Of Star Trek.
A John Long Phaser 1 complete with raising site and extending emitter.
A 23rd Century Pistol ( Phaser) non hero version ,customized with aluminum parts and early first season paint scheme.


As much as I enjoy the WAND Company Communicator and Phaser, I personally prefer the look and feel of these props best.

I went back to the original episodes and modified these to reflect the props as I thought they should.
I also made them "used",as opposed to idealized...your milage may vary!

That's a great landing party set. I'm sure a lot of work went into making that phaser 1 function... Always wanted a communicator with the stopwatch.

I'm of two minds on this. If they're going to be displayed at home, in the office, or something similar, I can see the value in making them relatively pristine. If they'll be used--costuming, attending conventions, showing off, etc., I prefer giving them a "used" look. Besides, that way if I were to drop one I wouldn't be so bothered by a little more damage.

That said, thank you for sharing these with us. Seriously nice work, and great attention to detail!

All of the Black and White Season one hero phasers looked like this.

What we refer to as hero phasers are the four B&W Phasers that were reworked into the BGB hero phasers.

When the mid-grade phasers were introduced in the last third of season one, they were made from the same molds as the B&W's

You have a nice B&W hero phaser replica
