Star Trek Beyond - Phaser Type 1B
Original prop :
This prop, was a static one, while the emitter was a separate part, it was glued to the body, but didn’t had any kind of way to rotate
For the run of replicas, i wanted them to manually rotate, so i made a first quick mold, from which i would pull out few castings for R&D work
Glimpse of the R&D work :
Once all that R&D/reverse engineering was done, all got molded again, few casts were pulled, then in order to be efficient do build those replicas, i’ve separated the top body from the main body, than way i wouldn’t have to spend time masking parts to paint them
And those separate parts were molded again
