Here are some photos of my new Phaser Rifle
That looks great! Is that a www.roddenberry.com (http://www.roddenberry.com) kit or pre-built by them? Always wanted one of those.
Its a kit with the electronic upgrades plus I have the lights on the side and screen light up
Sweet! Yeah, which kit is that? Rod.com, HMS?
Rod kit but I modified it to light the screen and also the three lights on the side.

Did you put it together or have someone else do it? Looks very sharp.
Really does look sharp and great mod's you added.
No I did it myself, I Like doing stuff like this as with my wooden tall ship models, it takes more time, but makes it more realistic as well. Besides it cost much less to do it yourself, and it isnt really that hard either.

That's great. Love to see any pics you took while you did the work and tips you might have. I do plan on tackling one of these - some day. I really enjoyed building my www.roddenberry.com (http://www.roddenberry.com) TOS tricorder several years back. Great fun when you have the time.
There is nothing like improving on a original design and have it look more realistic
Very nice!
Love it!
Very cool!

I built mine (HMS/Rodd.com) TOS rifle several months ago. I also installed several options including a lit target screen that activates on the touch of the trigger, a red flashing "Target Lock" light that activates with the trigger depressed, and a green 532nM laser.
Enjoy!

Holy welcome to the forum!!!! That was AWESOME!!!!!
Here is another vid of my TOS Rifle......a small amount of smoke was added to the air to enhance the laser beam on both vids.

Amazing. Do you have any other working props? I'm a prop fan, so is Rico. :)
Holy smoke!!!
They had those at the convention. They were sweet.
That is really cool, about as close to the real thing as one can get. Must have been fun to put together.

Really?? That looks like a custom job to me. Probably from a Roddenberry kit to start - with lots of upgrades.
That was amazing! Who wants to go outside and heat up some rocks?

There were at least two booths with custom made phasers and Roddenberry stuff was there on the Roddenberry table :). BTW Rodenberry is a cool guy. I got to talk to him a bit. Shorter than I thought he would be though....
Love to see your pics still sometime Blackride.

Last but not least, TOS Phaser 1 and 2
That's all for now!
Man, I love that Assualt Phaser!
OH MY!!!!!! I want one :D
...you had me at TOS phaser...
These are all HMS-Rodd.com kits from Roddenberry. All use Rodd sound boards except the Rifle which uses a AA/DST TOS Phaser sound board. I used several different types of diode lasers-the green put out 150-350 mW and the blue in the Cobra Head is around 600-700 mW. All shots done with light smoke in the air.
Thanks for the compliments!
Here is a pic of my "phaser family"......enjoy

The Rodd kits are great. I just have an AA TOS and WTOK, but Rico has the MR versions which are gorgeous.
Be careful - you'll shoot your eye out!

ps. some green lasers are strong enough to burst balloons.
