A mixed bag of projects. The tricorder is a DST rebuild, mostly with plastic. Gutted the electronics, just for display now.

The phaser is another DST rebuild, with mostly aluminum parts. This was a fun project!

The Alpha comm is almost all "upgrade" parts from a recent Trek Prop Zone run.

Beautiful Work. Electronics not really necessary when you have a build as nice as yours.

Fabulous.

Upgrading a TOS phaser (23rd Century pistol kit) was what brought me to the RPF long ago. I don't think things have changed much on the metal upgrades. Every now and then, someone does a small run of a specific part and you grab it while it's there. From separate makers I purchased thumbwheels, P2 nozzles, P2 top plates, aluminum power pack/grip, P1 nozzle, etc. I still have the Masterpiece Models P2 kit with lots of upgrade parts sitting in a box somewhere. But I did build the 23rd C kit finally. The upgrades make all the difference.
