Protos are all done, figured I'd share! This will probably only interest those who have struggled with phaser displays but I thought I'd post just the same.

I had two simple goals for these. I wanted a stand that wouldn't over-power the prop on display and one that would properly secure it without damaging anything. Just simple & clean...

I went with machined acrylic and aluminum. These have a small footprint and are sturdy as all hell. You're not going to tip anything over when reaching in and out of the case for these and nothing is going anywhere if you bump them. The small lips on the sides of the cradles prevent any slippage and I really like the way the prop is displayed 'level' without the handle touching anything.

The clear acrylic allows light to pass around and under the prop so they are perfect for glass cabs and they blend well with any background.

I used an MR phaser for the following pics but the fit is universal.

Sweet -- but how much leeway between the base and bottom of pistol grip? As you are well aware, some phaser replicas have longer handles/grips, which could pose a problem with phaser not resting in cradles as the potentially longer handle pushes phaser body beyond the cradle base?

Make sense?

IF you solve this issue, let me know when this goers to JY.

Thanks.

There's about a half inch there...difficult to tell in the photos.

Pleanty of room for just about any phaser of reasonably correct proportions.

Thanks

I'd like to come up with something like this. Sure, it's only for the Art Asylum phaser, but I'd still like a way to display it.

and it looks "right" for that era of the trek universe...if you get my meaning :)
great job!!!!
 
Re: Showoff thread / Acrylic Phaser stands

Thanks guys.

I know it's tough to look past what's left of the unbuilt phaser kit on the stand.

I'll update pics soon. I'm still not sure if I'll offer these.

Think I should?

Re: Showoff thread / Acrylic Phaser stands

Pending price, I'm in for one -- one of the nicest designs I've seen.
