My Landing Party set.

[MARK M3]

My favorite personal Star Trek The Original Series builds.
A Hero Communicator. Complete with wind up stop watch to spin the moire.
A John Long Communicator built to reflect the one in the book The Making Of Star Trek.
A John Long Phaser 1 complete with raising site and extending emitter.
A 23rd Century Pistol ( Phaser) non hero version ,customized with aluminum parts and early first season paint scheme.


As much as I enjoy the WAND Company Communicator and Phaser, I personally prefer the look and feel of these props best.

I went back to the original episodes and modified these to reflect the props as I thought they should.
I also made them "used",as opposed to idealized...your milage may vary!

That's a great landing party set. I'm sure a lot of work went into making that phaser 1 function... Always wanted a communicator with the stopwatch.

Many Thanks! Yes a lot of work went into all of them, in particular that Phaser 1 and Hero Communicator!

I'm of two minds on this. If they're going to be displayed at home, in the office, or something similar, I can see the value in making them relatively pristine. If they'll be used--costuming, attending conventions, showing off, etc., I prefer giving them a "used" look. Besides, that way if I were to drop one I wouldn't be so bothered by a little more damage.

That said, thank you for sharing these with us. Seriously nice work, and great attention to detail!
