My Tricorders

The first one is a Tricorder Mark X that I built from scratch using GMProps' manual. It is not pretty, but it was my first attempt at a scratch build ever. The shape is generally right, and the size is close, but not perfect. The graphics were just thrown on.

The second is a Tricorder Mark XV from the Voyager episode Relativity. It was made using the correct travel clock and the electronics are from DStines. It was my first tricorder. I made some errors when I was modifying the clock and I hadn't discovered filler putty yet so the blemishes are still in there.

The third is a Modified Playmates TNG tricorder. I modified the body to accept the upgrade kit from GMProps. I also added a new sound module.

The last one is a Rod.com body and a electronic kit that I got from an RPF board member. I did the build up and unfortunately, I messed up the paint job when I was installing the electronics. there is also a couple of problems with the electronics. Some of the lights didn't work after I installed them, so out they came and I did some soldering and most of them work now. I was hoping that this one would be the jewel of my collection, but it would take a lot of redoing to get it there. Some day, when MR starts shipping theirs, I will probably get that one. I am not much of a prop builder but I enjoy my collection anyway.

Thanks for watching
