Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Phaser

Who confirmed for you? Do you have an in with the prop master at CBS? ; )

The designer seems to have borrowed some of the ideas from the Section 31 Phaser.

I think that’s the point. They wanted the phasers from Discovery and SNW to look like the ones from TOS, but to show a natural progression. The phaser from Discovery has a three barrel rotating head, which pays homage to the “lazer pistol” from the original pilot “The Cage”. Where the phaser from SNW is only slightly different from the one from TOS, set within ten years of each other.

This looks fantastic. Any chance you might share the dimensions you used? I’d love to try my hand at making a foam one.

Overall length is about 204mm ... close to the size of the TOS phaser.

I hope you get your money back! The USPS carriers have gotten lax at least since the pandemic started.

Really nice work!
Does the P1 just sit in P2's cavity?

Hi, can you tell me , what the Name and code for the Body Color is please ?

 

[Valor]

So the paint I used in these photos (Which is quite close to the screen used color) is a high heat engine paint found at places like O'Reilly Autoparts. It's called VHT and the color is Titanium Silver.

Yup, and magnets hold it in place.

Also, if you haven't seen the lates episode of The Ready Room with Wil Wheaton there's a great segment with the Prop Master where he lovingly shows off the props. The Hero phasers were all machined and anodized aluminum! ....
