Description
I went deep diving through some old projects looking for spare parts for other projects and found this little bridge sitting out there untouched from February of 2017. What? me pass it over without messing with it?? Of COURSE I touched it!
I went in and imported the updated helm console from the Phase II bridge, completely redid the steps so a visiting OSHA inspector wouldn't fail the Starfleet guest bridge (yay slightly rounded edges!), redid the railing entirely and brought over the rail supports from the Phase II bridge. Then I went and resized all of the wall padding so it didn't look like NERF had heavily invested in bridge design. The back consoles I'm probably going to replace with the consoles from the Civilian transport since I think those are what these started out as. Or something. I'm also thinking a few stand up consoles off to the sides of the helm and back slightly wouldn't be too bad, but I'm not mounting anything on the forward walls. Trying to preserve that TNG Bridge of the Week feel.
The chairs are also temporary as I'm going to bring in the chairs from the TMP bridge. This is going to be an early 24th Century bridge to start with, then I'm going to model out the split TNG consoles and Captain's Chair and figure out chairs for the back to make it a mid-24th Century bridge.
One idea I'm seriously toying with is gutting the hell out of it and making a TOS version. Cause why the hell not??? This could be like a kit. The outer walls remain relatively the same, but the wall components and consoles get changed out for the different eras. Could even do up a TMP version that's pre-Okuda grams.
There are lots of possibilities.

I've probably said this before, but it is a real treat to watch your work as it develops and read your explanations of all the stuff you're doing and the steps that you use to create everything. Your final products always come out looking amazing too (at least the ones I've seen).
