Here's a couple of props I've just built in the last month for a fan film project of the Star Trek Enterprise series. One is a solid casting and the other a practical, but both use the same laminated screen save for the practical's back light.

The practical starts as a mostly vacuum formed kit with a few resin parts, and gets highly modified to conform to the dimensions of the solid casting which is cast from a screen used solid prop.

I hope you enjoy the process as it took a lot of engineering to develop, and this marks the fifth and last one I'll make.

The kit as is. This is what $240.00 buys but it is the only kit available and comes complete with absolutely no instructions.


The display construction. It's an epoxy lamination of some blue acrylic I found, an ink jet transparency I created, and a clear polyester cover.




Here's the initial modification to the one main resin part.


And the rest of the build mostly in pictures.
