009 CLASSIC ENGINEERING TRICORDER -custom work
CLASSIC ENGINEERING TRICORDER (Static Prop - non working)
This is something I came up with and put together. I noticed that in the original series Scotty would sometimes carry a tricorder with him -in particular the episode "The Doomsday Machine" I figured this had to be some kind of a special engineering tricorder (like the geological tricorder) or at least programmed for that area (like the medical tricorder)
Being a prop enthusiast, I though a "special" engineering tricorder would be more interesting then an average-looking task programmed tricorder. Since we never saw Scotty's tricorder opened to the camera to see any of the details, this gave me freedom to create a special unique face for the middle section similar to what had been done for the geology tricorder.
The main tricorder body was from a garage kit by Marco Ent.
I added a small secondary "false" engineering screen on the right side and 3 extra tricorder buttons on the left with a "false" side lever switch on the bottom and 3 light indicators (one green, one red, & one blue rectangular) on the top. I also made an engineering graphic display for the main top screen.
Now I have a one of a kind tricorder. No electronics, but still looks cool!
