Edit: Added new pics below Post Xmas.

I bought a JayRob Star Trek Phaser kit.

Also a M140 Diode all ready to go in a Aixiz Mod w/ Leads from DTR.

It was kinda hard to get a good 1.5mm hex wrench. I bought 3 sets before one had a allen wrench that was designed well enough to grab the set screw... Buy an expensive brand name...

The soldering went great. I bought a iron and shrink tubing from Radio Shack. I bought the 15W so it would be hot enough to melt the solder, but not too hot incase I touched something else in the process. I used a Butane, Jet Lighter for the shrink tubing... Perfect.

This is a Xmas gift for my wifes father. He is the guy that has every Star Trek toy ever made and in the packaging. Im sure he will do a backflip when he opens this!

I am behind on wrapping so I only had time to take a few pics. See them below

Post Xmas...

This he emailed me later...

I'm sure this will blow his mind.. Definitely worth a million dollars for a star trekkie :wave:

+3 for the phaser

edit: must spread some first!

Nice job! I'm sure he'll be very happy.

Just make sure to get him goggles and tell him not to aim it at things he doesn't want to destroy.

Cheers!

I'm a father.... can I get one too?

 

[Zeebit]

Awesome gift! I would surely crap my pants if I were to receive this.

Don't forget the protection :beer:

Awesome job, it's crazy but I built my father in law a custom nerf with a 50mw 532nm built in for Christmas. We're both suck ups.

Show him the beam in the night sky...

Nice beam shots showing the light out the vent plate too. Glad you like the kit!

Thanks for the review with link... +rep :beer:

I had the glasses before the kit even came in... I also have an email draft to him that includes all the safety links from LPF

im thinking 3 watt with the copper heat sink
i dont know the specs but im assuming it takes the axis module?

 

[eyemfedup2]

by the way, you dont happen to have any constructon pics or drawings do you:gj:

 

[troublesome]

It is very cool toy. It is tempting for me but I am afraid I will do wrong with soldering and mess it up.

 

[eyemfedup2]

forgive me if i dont understand.
did this come ready for the axis module or how complete did it come.
i gotta know:takeit:

 

[HitShane]

If you look at the third line, at the top in the OP, you will see the link to the kit...
