This is a rather poor casting, I'm doubting it was made by Ed but it's possible. It features rudimentary electronics which sadly no longer function. It looks like a convention special, the previous owner said it was built from a kit. This is Ed M's version of the TMP/TWOK Phaser which he made vac-formed copies of for TNG's episode "Yesterday's Enterprise", it's actually longer than the actual TMP/TWOK Phaser, but feels really good in the hand it's also quite heavy.

Still looks cool, but I prefer the one from the Undiscovered Country, the one with the magazine/battery pack. Now that one looked like a real weapon!

Ah, the so called "Assault Phaser". Yeah, that one is pretty cool. I just love the sleekness of this one, it looks streamlined as hell.RogueWolf wrote:Still looks cool, but I prefer the one from the Undiscovered Country, the one with the magazine/battery pack.

Wow! You know I never looked at it that way, but now that you mention it this thing does look pulpy Buck Rogers-ish! I love that description, thank you. And it doesn't contain any lead or metal inside, but it sure feels like it because it is heavy!kobayashimaru wrote:@RogueWolf,
@Shark,
Wowsers! Look at the dulled-chrome/stainless finish on this thing.
Thanks for sharing: it looks cool.
This has much more of the pulpy-sci-fi /30s and Buck Rodgers look to it.
This'd be right at home in anything Fallout or Wasteland inspired.
