Kevin's Scratchbuilt Star Trek Tricorder

Hi,

Just finished a scratchbuild of the tricorder from the first Star Trek film.

The Human Adventure is just beginning

  1. It looks stunning Kev! A true prop! Do you think your methods differ much from how the original modellers made theirs?

    1. Completely I would think. Mine doesn't have to be made on a time budget. I can use slower and primitive methods!

  2. I'm always impressed with your work, and this is no exception. Well done, Kevin.

  3. Nice work with the hinging and everything. I assume you've seen stuff by American modelmaker Brick Price who worked on STMP?

    1. I like some of the movie phaser designs, but ST-TMP ones look like toys to me.
