Scott's Models and Props

What? I can't hear you.

Not the big project I've been working on, but a prop that's not Star Trek and I have wanted to build for a long time, years actually. I had one that I traded away on what ended up a bad deal and just never got around to making another, although I did make a later season variant.

This is a replica of the first season SeaQuest Vpal communicator. The parts are recasts of the original pieces made by Prop'er Effects which I made years ago, and I've made that known to Mike Moore if anyone cares enough to bring it up with him.

I will add some simple electronics at a later date.

Here are the main cast resin pieces cleaned up and primed. I did make another green acrylic screen though and the antennae is cast metal. The originals has some more length but I never had that piece to start with.

And the finished prop.

And alongside the later variant.

I made a temporary screen so it looks like it's doing something.

You've certainly got a talent for this sort of thing

I've got some show and tell to catch up on now.

First off the completed SeaQuest pistol.

And now for the big project I was working for about eight months.

This is another Star Trek item and is the tricorder from "Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn"

A very involved build needing plenty of modification and scratch building.

I added some 35% window tint to darken the screens. Looks much better.

A poor video of them all working.

How they open up and showing the LiIon rechargable battery that is meant for a Canon camcorder.

The lighting circuit is scratch build but the sound card is a modified BigDawg circuit.

Cool! I know this sort of thing is much more involved and takes a lot longer than what I do, but the wait still seems so long and it is so nice to see them when they're done.
