John Long Star Trek Communicator Kit Build - Hero Version Demo

This is my completed "Hero" build of the John Long Classic Star Trek Communicator Kit. I took the electronics from a Keepsake Hallmark Communicator ornament and installed them into this comm so the activation "chirp" sound would play when opened. As the original screen used communicator "Hero" props created by Hollywood prop maker Wah Chang had, this comm has a 1/10th second stop watch installed to make the moire pattern spin in the center ring.

What a fantastic build!!! Nice jobe man.

I saw your pictures on the zone and if you don't mind me asking, what was that clear round plastic piece that you placed onto the shaft of the watch?

Haha, I like the unintentional button activation by pressing on a screw. Brilliant! Just tell people you designed it that way. ;)

Nice build! Thanks for posting! I have one I'm still waiting to get to. Some day I'll get 'er done, but I want to take my time and not screw it up!

HA! Wow how cool. What quality. I bet all the other star trek nerds will approve greatly. Love the additional Hallmark sounds!
