TOS Phaser Rifle Build

- Start date
There is one out there. Well i''m not 100% sure it was a Polar lights but it was a big refit. When i saw it, i decided it would be a nessesity on my build.
Ii am waiting for the cost of the Blue Lasers to drop-they are still new on the market. I may even refit my HMS TOS Phaser I/II from green to blue at some point.
I will be putting blues into my 1/350 refit "E" also.
There is a pro builder on the web that does just that for his builds.

It needs to be said that you get it. You really, truly, actually get it.
Every so often, I see those youtube videos of phaser toys modified with lasers. This is the first time I've ever seen one that includes sound.
It's damn refreshing.

Well i was thinking about getting one of these lasers but when i went to look at your 3rd video i found this video. I copied it to my account and i'm glad i did because now it's got the bright green laser again. I ask again, are these lasers really as bright as the videos you posted? They are not cheap and i don't want to waste my money. Thanks

Did you look at the video i posted? There is NO beam, just a big dot on the wall. It is the exact same video as is on your site now but the one on your site now has a bright beam.
Yes I did see the post......
As I believe I explained (and may not clearly), I added a light smoke from a smoke machine to the air to make the beam look brighter. In the video you posted, there was a beam, but due to the angle AND the lack of "dirty air" to reflect light, the beam is not visible. The shot you posted was the first one I did. I added smoke to the subsequent videos.
Hope this clears up any misunderstanding or confusion!
Take care!

Seriously dude...
Quit beating around the bush, you don't believe him, it's quite obvious. He's gone above and beyond to describe the laser used, the way he shot the video and the conditions. What else do you need as proof?
:rolleyes
WOW now the video you have on your site no longer has the beam.
Umm, I just watched all the videos he posted on page 1 of this thread. The beam is present in all of them.
Maybe you should just disregard his explanations & forget it. Your posts are starting to sound a little troll-ish, what with the de-railing of his show-off thread.
I'm just saying.
Is it a show off thread or a pull it over your eyes thread? I'm sorry but when a new guy shows up and his first post is of a TOS phaser that shoots bright laser beams i am skeptical. Not because i'm just skeptical, but because i have been using lasers for 20+ years and laser beams don't look like what he is posting. When this guy first posted his video i looked at the other videos in his photobucket account. This video did not have the beam. I checked a little later and the SAME video had the beam and the nonbeam video was gone. Not some other video that looks close. Thats why i was first skeptical. Yesterday i was telling my buddy about this rifle i wanted to build and there was no beam again. At this point i copied it to my account so it could not be changed again. Thats the video portion i have a problem with. Second, if with no smoke that laser makes no beam then to get a beam as bright and as intense as he is showing in his videos he would have to fill his house up with smoke. His beam is as bright as heck all the way up to the barrel. Third, there are NO laser beams made that have a wave like his videos show. Laser beams are straight as an arrow, No deflection, No wavepattern. His looks like wavepattern on my oscilloscope. He is half way to making a real lightsabre if he can control photons like that. I'm sorry i sound like a troll but he is telling people to go spend $100-300 on lasers that will not give the effect he is showing, and you calling me a troll ignores the facts. Look at the video I posted, there is no beam. Zero, nada. I done with it. Let the sheeple be led....
For what it's worth I'm on your side. That laser is too clear and perfect to do what he claims it does.
I'm not convinced.
Gentlemen, Gentlemen........no need to get stressed over this.
As I said I would provide additional vids of the prop. Here is one attached.
I used Smoke Detector Test Gas to make the beam better to see from the rifle. Also, I lit up a 250mW laser next to the prop to show you what the beams look like in a darkened room (my basement).
Here is another. A couple of bursts from the detector gas into the air again to make the beam more visible. Again shot in my basement using a 250mW laser in normal basement light (fluorescent).
