Star Trek XI: Kelvin Phasers (Sporak's kit)

[-E-]

I just finished up the two Kelvin phaser kits from Sporak. Awesome kit, Bill!! I decided to make the P1 detachable using a couple magnets. In the end, I think they came out really nice. It was a lot fun to build, too. Here are some pics.

Sure ...

Plastikote 1542 *Burnished Silver* which isn't made any more, but any medium silver would do. It was used for the P1, handle, dials, and the thing that sticks out of the nose.

Duplicolor T299 *Dark Shadow Gray* (very recently replaced with BFM0360 / same color name) This was used on the P2.

Duplicolor GS100 *Gold* Used on the rear vent/port (whatever it is!), trigger and end of the handle.

After the P1 was painted silver it was dusted with the Dark Shadow Gray.

looks great but what is a Kelvin phaser,
john :cool

 

[jhusel]

It was the phaser used by ship in the beginning of STXI by Kirk's dad's ship. It wasn't seen on screen but was displayed with the props from the movie a while back. Very cool design.

Ewwww, that's nice!

If that design didn't remind me of some kind of bug creature from SG-1 I'd have
to get one!

Great job on the build....is it heavy with the metal parts?

EDIT:

This is the bug it reminds me of...from SG-1: Atlantis

 

[-E-]

The two metal pieces probably weigh a few ounces together but it's still a pretty hefty piece, nonetheless.

 

[USS Endeav]

I think the more heft the better, it looks like it should be real-world heavy.

I am borderline on wanting one....but that would open the gambit to other XI props
and so far, I've avoided that trap!

Nicely done Erik! I wish they would have stuck with that design throughout the film instead of using that chrome plated, nozzle spinning, p.o.s. they went with.

I have to agree...I really dislike that version. The Kelvin version looks
like a weapon, not a flashy toy like the phaser used throughout the rest of the film and with all that lighting, they did not need chrome!

If there was a poster of the evolution of the Trek phaser the Kelvin would fit right in. The Trek XI phaser just seems out of place. I really hope they do a redesign for the next film.

AHHH!!!! Now I know what I want for Christmas!!!!
Must... have...
