TOS Communicator in 3D

- Start date
This is a beautiful 3D. I want to make a 1/6 scale communicator. This file can help a lot. Is it possible for me to obtain this file? I don't mind paying a loyalty fee.
I sculpted my original by hand, and almost lose my eye site because of the tiny work.
Please let me know. Thanks

Outstanding work on that clamshell communicator! I love it!
If I were re-imagining the TOS talkie a la what Ptrope posted, I would go with the fliptop design to shelter the controls when not in use. I think the original TOS design is great, but if I wanted to really revise the concept, I'd base the external shape and texture on an Apple MacBook Air ultra-portable personal computer. (Here's a neat video demo of both MacBook Air models.) When I watched that video on YouTube, I could not resist thinking about a flip-top communicator.

Hey MGagen, any chance I could talk to you about using your communicator for a project?
I'm trying to build a communicator based on the HeroComm blueprints and have gone half insane trying to replicate them as well as you have using CAD. The software I have available to me just isn't cutting it (mainly the curved edges.)
You may be interested in this thread, as the artist there recreated the design for 3d printing in parametric software.
TOS Communicator Build
I am in the process of building a rather unconventional Star Trek TOS Communicator. I have seen amazing builds where people have even copied the yellowed glue around the rhinestones, in an attempt to recreate every aspect of the original props - this will not be that. I am really just trying to...
