Star Trek (2009 J.J. Abrams movie) Phaser Defined Thread!

[MooCriket]

Very nice work. Gotta admit I was not in love with this phaser, but seeing your build has really made we reconsider.:thumbsup

A tricorder, particularly a primitive one, wouldn't need a screen.... the inidcator lights could just indicate stuff. "Life forms detected"... "energy source bearing 237 mark 14"... "di-choronium present in atmosphere"... :rolleyes

Actually Spock always used to hold the tricorder so he coudln't see the screen anyway. I guess he learned how to read that warbling sound it made. :confused

Or it could be like the POST beeps on your computer.

I'm very happy I helped some one to appreciate this item more. It really is very well designed and I'm sure more people will come around to it in time.

Man, that is INCREDIBLE!!!

Oh man I had a really great day today, the last few weeks have really been awful so I really needed this too. I got this thing all sealed up so I'll be setting up the mold in the next few days. It's so close to being finished now it's making me itch.

Man I'm stoked about how great today was.

Other items, from a Japan toy site:
http://hobbyworld.aoshima-bk.co.jp/scripts/hw/kenall_e.aspx?search=star+trek

Thanks for the link.

According to the site, figures available for pre-order include all of our favorites from the crew of the Enterplise: Cark (aka Caku), Spoc, Maccoy, Scotthi, Suru, Ufura, Checof, and even Cark's predecessor, Paiku. :unsure

In a way, it's impressive that they didn't spell a single name correctly -- not one.

It's kind of like another take on the "mirror universe."

"Cark to Enterplise, Cark to Enterplise... Scotthi, beam me aboard."

 

[robn1]

They spelled Nero right. But Suru? Oh the irony :lol

 

[temponaut]

Of course, "Suru" -- uh, I mean, "Sulu" -- isn't really a Japanese name. In Japanese-language-dubbed broadcasts of ST:TOS, Mr. Sulu's name has been changed to "Mr. Katoh" (pronounced "kah-toe"), which is an authentic Japanese name. (Bruce Lee's character in The Green Hornet had what is presumably the same name, "Kato," but mispronounced as "kay-toe.")

Incidentally, in Japanese-language broadcasts of ST:TOS, Mr. Scott's name is rendered as "Mr. Charlie," and the title of the series itself is not Star Trek but Uchuu daisakusen... which translates to something approximating "grand space mission." :lol

:thumbsupChalk that bit up to Nimoy's dedication to entertain. He noticed that the intresting part of the Tricorder faced the actor so in true profesional fashion he decided that when he would use the prop he would face the intresting part at the viewer. Cool huh?

Thanks for the info:thumbsup Who knows...one day this info could win me some moolah on a game show...or at the very least prove to my wife once and for all just how much of a geek I truly am:lol

Really, when I watched it in japan it was only a half hour long (lots of editing)...and it was called 'Hikaru Kato, master of navigation"

Any more news on the phaser?

 

[00MrNotWrong00]

I'm kinda old school (also cheap) so I need it to be around 70 degrees for 48 hours to build a proper mold.

If that's what you were askin ?

[phase pistol]

God help me, I'm starting to like this thing.

 

[AnubisGuard]

^Ahh, beat me to it. It does look pretty nice, whe nseen from other angles. Love the nod to the original series design with the thumbwheel and little meter on the back.

 

[Tripper]

Also look at the kill nozzle. Just behind the red area it looks like a mini TOS phaser emitter.

 

[phase pistol]

I was gonna say "what meter", but it's hard to see the small detail...

 

[phase pistol]

The as yet unseen right side. This movie has gotta have a "making of" book, won't it? :lol
