John Zizolfo's Enterprise Bridge part 2 |
|
|
A closeup of the removed stair section, before filling with sheet styrene. This view is looking towards Scotty's
station. The straight edged section on the right is the Viewscreen deck.

|
|
The chairs also needed serious re-working. I think you can tell which is before and which is after.
|
|
The Helm/Navigation console also needed to be re-worked. In addition to setting the Astrogator into the console, I decided
to shorten the overall length. In hindsight, it may have been more trouble than it was worth. I'll decide for sure when I'm finished.

|
|
|
|
|
Kirk's
chair also needed a fair amount of corrections. The base was re-worked, the seat back was moved forward a bit, and sides with arm rails were added, along with a back "cushion".
|
|
|
Even something as simple as the railings and posts needed correction. The bottoms of the rails were trimmed down to match
the square tubing mentioned earlier.
|
|
Spock's station needed the most work in that his computer wasn't included in the kit. I used a console CB radio from a
trashed police car kit as the basis for mine, but it's essentially 3 rectangular/square boxes, so it shouldn't be too difficult to build from scratch. The Pyramid viewer was made from more styrene scrap and two of the spare railing posts from the second kit.

A right turn out of the turbolift...

Then a left, and you're looking forward.

Scotty's station, looking across the Command deck.

A familiar angle.
