Scott's Models and Props

Time for some catch up over the summers projects.

First up is a seldom used attachment to the STTNG MkVII Medical Tricorder. The casting came directly from Mike Moore and is from the same mold as screen used.


Here it is attached to the tricorder but upside down as it fits better to my MkVII.


Next is a replica of the Klingon Hand Disruptor used in the fourth Star Trek movie. As far as I know this is the only one ever made outside the movie that has the proper lighting, and switches, although the red rocker should have a clear red rocker. You can find similar switches but they are all narrower than wide now.


A video of the effects.

Another that shows the emitter light.

Next was three Cardassian Data Leeches from DS9. Two of these are production castings and one is a replica.






Next was three replica Rura Penthe door keys used for the Undiscovered Country movie. There were two styles employed and the ones with the acrylic parts light.




Next came two ST:The Motion Picture wrist comms. These are pure replicas.






Here's a bunch of the circuits I made for them and for the person who made the castings.

Next was completing an unfinished Klingon Tricorder started by Richard Coyle.

At first I was going to make this a later variant than the STIII version but it had the impossible to find tiny Honda brake light lens with it that only the STIII version used so it became a screen accurate STIII.




The circuit.

So following that I made three First Contact rifles from Rodd.com kits with added phase modulator parts.


One of these gets the Rodd.com electronics and the other two I made up using some circuits boards meant for another prop plus added 750mW red lasers which are strong enough to melt plastic.

They've got belt winders for the slings.


Lot's of fussy Dremel work.




The rifles have a ten segment bar graph as a power meter so I used one to make a lens for the display board which uses two rows.




What it does.

Power buttons were created.






The switch board was broken up to fit.




And it all fit in like this.




The other switches were fitted.






And a closure to the control panel made up. It is held on by magnets.

[Buddahaid]

Next the phase modulators were built. I made up the electronics and used more magnets to attach it with.








And a video.

The bottom was closed off and brass contacts made so power from the rifle couls also light the side LEDs.


This is the floor of the modulator compartment with the springy contacts and the two battery charging ports. The batteries are lithium ion packs made for Canon camcorders. Small with a 1200mAH rating.
