Okay, I've FINISHED my affordable ST VI Phaser...!

One level at a time...
It tasks me. And I shall have one.:thumbsup:

 

[StarshipClass]

Cool! I thought of getting one of the Beretta 92 Airsoft pistol and building one up but your way works, too.

At $135 a pop I'd just as soon go from scratch.:freak:

This is my second favourite phaser behind the original series one. And I've waited far too long for Art Asylum/Diamond Select to make it.

I'm so psyched! :thumbsup:

Can you hide a small Tazer inside?
I'm just sayin'

You can laugh, but I've heard tales of,..I know this sounds incredible...Sci-Fi guys getting roughed up by bullies. I know, it seems crazy to me too. But I hear they even TAKE AWAY the cool sci-fi apparatus and make up appliances...

So, if a Phaser were to actually do something..it would be nice if it could protect it's owner. Think of all the Spock ears and light sabers that would stay safely in their owner's basements......

Sci-Fi guys need to know Kirk-Fu. No felgercarb, I trained in Wing Chun & Tae Kwon Do. Woe be to any that mess with THIS SF geek! I'll pry my Spock ears out of their cold, dead hands.

My uncle taught me tai quan moe...Judge told me I poke out one more eye, it's Australia for me...

Sorry, back to your build, It looks like you REALLY want one of these.
I'll it be energised?

How long have you been gathering all this info?

Steve

 

[Chrisisall]

Do not mess with the Moe...

It looks like you REALLY want one of these.
I'll it be energized?

One will... once I finish the build & mold it.

How long have you been gathering all this info?

A few weeks now. I was wanting a Playmates version, but on eBay they go for STUPID money- just as well, they're not in the correct scale anyway. The MR one is great, but out of my price range presently. So, being a sculptor at heart, I'm making my OWN.:thumbsup:

 

[steve123]

I know it's the wrong one..But AMT is bringing all the Phasers and tricorders back.

They were small, I remember my 12 year old grip kept snapping off the handle.

I think you will make it sing..Gonna set up molds?....Huh?..Huh?

Steve

 

[jheilman]

Good luck on this. I really like this model phaser too. I have the undersized toy version. Not satisfying enough. Looking forward to your progress.

 

[Chrisisall]

Gonna set up molds?....Huh?..Huh?

Yeah, it's been a while, but I'm not gonna get this anywhere else!

 

[Chrisisall]

I have the undersized toy version. Not satisfying enough. Looking forward to your progress.

IF it comes out well, I'll offer up a couple of kits/finished pieces. After I make MINE, that is!:tongue:

 

[Chrisisall]

Filled. Now I begin the lower portion detailing.

 

[Steve H]

Is it a Beretta 92 frame that's based on? I thought it kind of looked like a Browning Hi-Power. Learning new every damn day!

And Chrisisall, you can get an airsoft Beretta for under $40 at most 'big box' retailers such as KMart or various national sporting goods chains. Even those crappy pistols generally take down much like the real pistol.

Good Luck! I look forward to see your build!

 

[Chrisisall]

Is it a Beretta 92 frame that's based on?

It's the m9 93r specifically. THOSE are not cheap. You can get a regular airsoft Beretta on eBay for $10- but it's missing a few key elements. So I decided to scratch build it.

 

[RMC]

I thought that master replicas had made them before they sold the company

This is my second favourite phaser behind the original series one.

Mine, too! It looks totally bad-ass.

All phasers looked pretty bad after the TOS movies ended. I hated those stupid dustbuster-type things The Next Generation had.

 

[Chrisisall]

Mine, too! It looks totally bad-ass.

Yeah. :thumbsup:
The dustbusters were supposed to be like the hand phasers in TOS but built up a bit. But the POINT of a small hand phaser was that it wasn't for combat, just a convenient & concealable emergency contingent. Cocking your wrist in a strange way is no way to accurately & reliably fire a weapon in general IMO.

This reminds me, I have an old P-38 dart gun that'd convert into a decent UNCLE gun (not the big carbine, with the extended clip, barrel extension, and shoulder stock, just the concealed sidearm version).
