In the history of medicine, machines became crucial parts of the diagnostic and treatment process in the first half of the 20th century. Scientists and doctors experimented with some really strange devices, and they developed a lot of creepy-looking health equipment—at least some of which seems almost horrific, seen through the eyes of today.

So you are aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise on a five year mission and you beam down to a planet to do some geological studies, when suddenly Trelaine aka The Squire of Gothos, turns everything on the planet into LEGO creations. What do you do? Your normal phasers and instruments are useless. Well, if you had this LEGO gear, you would be just fine.
These LEGO creations are amazing. This medical tricorder, Type 2 hand phaser and communicator are all by LEGO artist Tommy Williamson. He excels at creating realistic classic Star Trek gadgets out of LEGO bricks.
Just look at the amazing detail that he puts into every piece. Any LEGO landing party would be well prepared for the mission ahead. Even if the had a red shirt on. I wish I had this kind of LEGO talent. Check out more of Tommy’s pics in his Flickr stream.
