Another example of the fantastic diversity in the scanning devices used by the various groups in Enterprise, this time it's T'Pol's Scanner, used throughout all 4 fours seasons of the show. In a few episodes of the first season the centre portion of the grip was silver, but it later changed to a teal/blue colour.
I used an off the shelf can of Tamiya metallic blue for mine and then sealed it with a Mr Hobby semi-gloss coat.
The scanning head/bowl part is Halfords Toyota Silver No2, the side grips are Halfords Satin Black, the buttons are Toyota Silver No 2 and Halfords Ford Arizona Gold
My replica has the clear protective dome over the display graphic, which you don't tend to see all that often in most replicas.
The slide panel on the back houses the small A23 12v keyfob battery which was a bit of a tight fit as I used some spare magnetic battery connectors to allow the battery to be changed easily.
I drew up two graphics in Corel Draw and reverse printed them twice onto acetate sheet, sealed them and glued them together.
I have a couple more graphics in progress, including the medical graphic seen the brilliant season 3 episode "Impulse" when the crew of the Selaya, trapped in the Expanse start to lose their emotional control and slowly attack each other and the NX-01 away team when the board the ship.
I also have the waveform graphic as seen in the great season four episode "Daedalus"
You can see a video of the prop in action below.
