This is made for a Kirk movie era costume and goes with the away jacket. You cannot get the tricorder for the Wrath of Khan or The search for Spock although some people have scratch made them, there are some resin kits but they are like hens teeth and very expensive. So I decided to make one that looked similar to elements from the original, Search for Spock but unique.
This is made from a old 80's hand held game, stripped out, the red buttons kept and hidden beneath some mesh, the front screen is the original smoked plastic protector on top of plastic from a sim card cut down, this has had various decals added. The buttons are rubber feet with decals underneath and on, the lights are stick on crystals, the rear screen is just printed on photography paper and the strap parts are guitar buttons. All primed and sprayed black, didn't like the grey of the movie one. Best part of this is that no glue was used at all, all self adhesive or gaffa taped inside. Once dry it has had a matt varnish to help protect it. Just waiting for the strap, some adhesive rubber grip to come and then it 100% finished.Si:)
