KEV D'S SCRATCHBIULT STAR TREK COMMUNICATOR


Hi,
Finished this scratchbuild of the communicator from 'proper' Star Trek. A great design, so ahead of its time. Take care,
Kevin

  1. That's most impressive, Kevin. Very convincing!

    Love the black texture on the body. How did you do that?

    I don't suppose you could fit a sound chip in there so it'd make the appropriate noises?

  2. Thanks. The texture is part of the material used, a sheet of kydex plastic (haircell texture), heated and pushed over a wooden former. I left the wood in mine but I suppose if left hollow a circuit might fit inside.
