Is this the real deal? (ST:TNG/DS9)
- Thread starter trekprops.de

Not to highjack the thread (but I will for a second, sorry Andreas!!!)
I was able to identify this case if it helps you or anyone else:
The actual case (this one is black while the one they used was red):
I am sure I saw the above style case in DS9, but these pics are of one that appeared in Voyager. Specifically:
"STAR TREK: “ENGINEERING KIT AND CARRY CASE”
A prop carry case featured in the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Timeless” where it appeared as the container for a Borg temporal transmitter. Later the case was modified for use in other Star Trek productions to include a vacuum formed equipment caddy and painted externally from red to gray. The exterior still exhibits adhered Starfleet inventory style features that equate to a raised ‘88’ in the style of their graphics. The interior is fitted with multiple ‘engineering tools’ one of which features sequentially flashing green and red lights when activated. The item is powered by single internally mounted battery that retains power from production use. A second electric item features a bright orange light when the button is pressed. The other tools are a variety of molded resin pieces with metal additions, some are more intricate than others, there are eight items in all. The case opens and closes on a hinged lid with two spring loaded latches on either side of the carry handle. A slide switch on the upper lid opens another hatch within the lid itself where there exists two banks of four AA sized 1.5volt battery housings and a button for activating a light that back lit the prop featured in the Voyager episode. There is no indication as to whether or not this feature still functions. When sealed, the case measures approx. 13.25 X 15.5 X 7.75 inches. Some obvious scuffs in the gray paint on the outside of the case reveal the original red color scheme."

As for the first case you also need this.
Hey Mike, very cool, but... what is that? A found item or something built from styrene? Also, can I obtain one (or two) from you?

Thread necromancy to see if anyone identified a readily available source for paint and the greeblie shown.

Lucked into a fresh can of Dove Gray. The case is painted - still looking for the greeblie on the side, some vinyl decals and foam for the interior.

I gotta know what the greeblie is - sent in a PM to HMS Mike. Anyone know? Also, sources for the decals? I can find the Arrow on eBay, but not sure about the rest.

May be I can help.
Since many years I'm making the decals for my PADDs and Starfleet cases. You can see them here: =/\= www.gtjlcars.de Welcomepage =/\= LCARS -Michael Okuda - PADD's - Excel für LCARS. Just click on "PROPS" and scroll down.

I'd love to order some, if I could only figure out what the original case Geordi is holding said!
BTW, your work looks excellent.

Yup, put in a PM prior to Christmas. My guess is he's off making some interstellar awesomeness somewhere and is too busy to answer.
