Will's Prop Phaser

Hi Paul. Loving all the Star Trek posts. Here's some pics of my prop phaser. 

Bought from a film prop shop in Massachusetts in the 1980's, it's supposed to be an unused prop from the series , but I think it's more likely to be an early fan model . 

It's cast in clear resin and has a couple of cracks, one on the handle and one on the tail. It does have age to it and looks good. 

Is it an original? I'll probably never know. Beam me up!

STARGAZING

 A couple of photos I took tonight in the back garden which  I thought I'd share with all, as we're all on a bit of a star trek at the moment!

One of the waxing gibbous Moon and the other of the Orion Nebula. Sadly, the sky isn't as dark as I'd like,, as there's a bit too much light pollution from the nearby pub carpark and the next door  neighbour's illuminated  garden but still nice to take a few snaps.

A photo from the back garden. You can just about see the constellations of Orion, Taurus, and a couple of stars from Gemini. The Pleiades is in the far right hand corner.

2000AD COMIC STAR TREK COVER

 The cover of 2000AD comic prog 140 (dated 24 November, 1979) promoting the soon-to-be-released Star Trek-The Motion Picture, and running a competition to win a Dinky Star Trek USS Enterprise & Klingon Battle Cruiser double pack.

Runners up would receive a smaller version of the Enterprise.

The cover drawing of the refurbished Enterprise, is obviously reversed, note 1701 comes before NCC, and is based on a superb painting by film production illustrator, Mike Minor, which graced the cover of Starlog issue 25, and was reproduced in full as a centre spread in the magazine.

Starlog issue 25 from August, 1979.
