hello all. have been reading through the forums and have been fascinated by lasers ever since star trek tos ( the original series) . I have purchased a polar lights 1/350 scale model of the uss enterprise ncc-1701-A and will be attempting to build it soon and adding the led lighting kit. I was also thinking of adding a laser light to it also to replicate the phaser banks . its not going to be a rush job so it will be a one step at a time build which could take up to a year or longer to complete depending on any problems I encounter . also I have a wand company hand phaser which is a exact replica of the hero prop used in star trek tos which I will try to modify with a laser light. a lot of reading will need to be done for both projects I think and some learning will be needed to complete both projects which I hope I can learn from this forum
 





Welcome aboard Trekkie! :D

Sounds like an interesting build! Please take some pics alone the way and make a build post. Like to check it out. Ooops, I guess I should welcome you first, ( I eat the dessert first, gotta make sure there's enough room :))Welcome! Be safe and enjoy. Hoping the best with that build, sounds like a interesting one!

Welcome gji25, I hope your following "jon lussier" or aka. JonPaul on U tube as he mods this exact 1701 model and now favors the Wand phaser for his laser additions.
Member Aaron has is working also on a Wand phaser mod and has disassembled it as a start.

By the way how old are you as I see you love the TOS Star Trek?

hi gss. I was going to follow trekworks tut but there are many on youtube I might use them all depending on how much detail I want to add to the model. im over 43 and less than 45 :beer:
 
Let me guess, your 14, seriously at 44 the TOS reruns got to you! When Star Trek came out in 1966 I was 4, by 1969 I couldn't stand it or even understand it. By 10 that TOS phaser and star ship just mesmerized me. I'm not at all a Trekie just like the toys.
How big is the following in the UK?
