Hello,
I would really like to have a ST:ENT hand scanner hero replica. And since I don't see any for sale, I take that as a sign to make one. (Barring anyone wanting to sell or trade for a Stapleton Enterprise hand scanner.) But sometimes a good project is a great thing...
I have limited space in the garage and so my options of making one are limited. I was thinking of buying the static resin prop I've seen on a couple sites. So question one is ... Is that a good accurate prop?
From this I was thinking of vacuforming the outer shell from this resin prop and going from there. This route would slightly increase the overall dimensions but it's close enough for me. The other question is will that resin stand up to the vacuform process?
When that's done I'd look at the electronics... And I'd really like to to have an animated screen, like on some tricorder props on here.... Tho I have no idea how to even approach that ... And that is a ways down the road.
So in short is the static resin prop a good accurate base to start from? And could that resin stand up to the vacuform process?
Thanks in advance to any help from the community...
Edit:. Here is a link to the prop I'm talking about.
