My build thread:
Star Trek TOS Dr M'Benga Medical or Daystrom Science Scanner Build
After purchasing one of the Diamond Select Tricorders with science scanner a few years back, I thought it would be fun to try and machine a full-scale scanner. It turns out the Diamond Select version is slightly smaller than the original and it uses a standard RGB (Red/Green/Blue) color...
