Horry Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Today I got a strange and very heavy package. I opened it and it turned out to be from the landlords of the house that my family lived in when I was a kid. They are selling the house and hence were doing some cleaning in the cellar. And there they found something I made when I was 13 - a type 3a phaser rifle from Star Trek! I had completely forgotten about this one up to the point that I had decided to make one - well, now I got the bricks for it, anyway. The rifle is very stable as I made the core from a series of interlocking sections with a Lego-technic "backbone" in the middle. You can hold this ar the nozzle and it still holds. Weighs about 6 to seven kg, though The grip and the light-part on the top are missing but otherwise, it's in pretty good shape. I'll start breaking it down now in order to make a better one but I wanted to share this with you!

Si-MOCs Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Couple of thoughts: 1) holy crap you had nice landlords 2) you built that at 13? DAMN. Nicely done - I'm impressed how stable it is! 3) Why were you hiding the gun? 4) PEW PEW PEW Edited October 7, 2011 by SI-mocs Quote

Horry Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Thank you for your comments. As I understand it, it wa part of an old box that my parents forgot there. I grew up in that house and those landlords are "extended family" And yes, I (still) am a big-time trekkie! Quote
