Scratch-built Exploration Set

Oh my god!  That looks SPECTACULAR!

Thanks guys!

I really like the Phaser in the frame.

Yeah, the goal was to have all of them displayed in a shadow box, but The communicator is waiting on the brass etched lid and I found out that the tricorder is too thick, so the phaser is the only one ready to be displayed that way.

The tricorder still has a lot of work needed, but I think it is showing what I'm aiming for.

It is strange how the original AMT set seemed like the correct size way back when I made that kit in 1976. These seem so small, but I've double checked that my phaser is the same length as the AMT phaser... it just seems so much smaller than I remember.

Looking great!

Gee, I wonder why it seems smaller now.

Yeah, they were tiny by comparison to the full-sized props.

This is absolutely brilliant work!
