Hey JayRob,
I'm interested in your doing a "hot build" of everthing but the laser. I don't have the skills for the build, but I have a friend who can help me install the laser (but asking him to do the full build would be too much).
Questions:
Can you do the build in a Art Asylum TOS Phaser instead of the Playmate? The AA just is a better looking replica. (I would supply the toy or pay if you have a source)
Have you seen the new WAND Company Phaser replica/remote control and do you have any opinion on how suitable it would be for a build?
The Wand Company | Star Trek: The Original Series Phaser replica universal remote control
More info:
New Star Trek TOS Phaser coming November 2014
I want as "blue" a laser as possible to replicate the look of the original TV show effect. What diode do you recommend and where can I get that?
For the record, I'm not very concerned with power, as far as popping ballons, etc, as much as I am with beam appearance. If I need power to get a good looking beam, so be it, but power for the sake of power is not my thing.
Let me know what you think, if you would.
