Scratch-Building a TOS Tricorder

[deck5]

Dude, you totally messed it up! You didn't make the removable data disk. Tell you what, send me that one and make yourself another! :lol

Seriously, that is one fine, beautiful piece you have built there.

Heh. How do you know that last disk isn't removable? (It isn't, in fact).

Thanks!

And a bunch of envious "other" life form!

"Envy" is one of your human emotions. :sleep

Thanks, guys! I appreciate your appreciation. I'm pleased with the result myself.

Just working on the final polish and assembly tonight.

So, when are we going to see one with an ipod video installed?

That is some sweet eye candy, and me with a sweet tooth!

But seriously, you could hook that thing up to play videos, right?

You might do. I wanted the authentic prop replica look, on this one.

A few more glamour shots, taken in the unforgiving daylight. I'll be setting up to build another; if there's any criticisms you'd like to level, I would be glad to hear!

What do you think?

Very, very cool deck5!

Do you plan on making any other TOS props?

Thanks! To date I've made a few TOS props -- communicator, phaser, card reader, and captain's logbook.

That TOTALLY sucks.

Because it is not in my collection. :sleep

Otherwise fantastic! :lol

I love how you have the head being able to swivel all the way around. At least one of the props did that.
