Well, I am still pretty gutted about the sad demise of my previous Bridge build at 1/12th Scale for six inch figures, (click on this link to see it)
http://www.therpf.com/f11/building-enterprise-bridge-less-than-10-15-a-137996/
so I decided that if I ever revisited the project, I would follow in the footsteps of Glorbes and build it in 1/10th scale, to display my Art Asylum/Diamond Select 7" figures. If you haven't seen his amazing build, you can see it here:

Also, there were several aspects of my previous build that I was not happy about, such as the lack of lighting, and general inaccuracies that I wanted to improve upon, and the fact that it was built from card and paper. So, because I am still involved with building my 52" Eagle Transporter, I thought I would just build one Bridge console section from Styrene Sheet, and see if I could iron out some of those "issues". The idea was that if I was successful, it would stand up as an individual display piece in its own right or, if I was so inclined, I could gradually add to it, section by section, when time permitted. I decided on Lt. Uhura's station as, that is the position that the command podium would spur off from.
So, anyway, here are a few progress pics and, I promise you, no more waffle from me!:$
I still have to make the chair and finish off the sides, as well as attach the front of the walkway edge strip etc.
The model is in Styrene sheet and styrene/foam board, and the flooring is dark grey 2mm craft foam.
Thank you for looking in and I will post again soon with the finished article
As always, your comments/critiques are very welcome
