This looks very cool.
I am trying to remember, do we ever see this part in the show? (The enemy within? Doomsday Machine?)

Not that I recall...or else we'd be seeing a lot of unpainted plywood, I suspect. ;)

No phez......this is never seen in the show, I have often wondered what it might look like :confused.......just a little something extra nonsence type of thing. Oh and thanks ''G'' :$
 
Nice addition!

Evidentally yours goes somewhere and does something! ;) :lol
 
Hey Bruce... lookin' good. :thumbsup
As to the never seen "inside of the unit" you may want to draw some inspiration from other consoles we did see opend up on the show.

We saw both Spock and Uhura working on their bridge consoles. Spock in "This Side of Paradise" and "Balance of Terror". Can't remember the Uhura one.

We also see Spock working on the Galileo 7 in "Metamorphasis".

Thanks Ted....and Oh don't worry :lol You know me.....I am more than sure I will be adding a few extras in there......circuit boards, do-dads and do-hickeys :love
 
here is the latest pic of the lower drop down housing with panels placed in for a trial fit.

Here is my new plan for lights.....these fit right into each of the upper 6 panel housings and the lights are floursent so the heat is little to none.....very bright and each will be operated by one of the rocker switches.

Any headway on this awesome project?

No.....I have been taking a break as I wait for my actual acrylic pieces to be laser cut for the plotting grid disk set up in the center, been focused on my command chair build....I hope to have it finished soon and get back to the transporter asap, stay tuned and thanks for following along buddy. :cool

Bruce.
 
Hey all.....Now that I am finished with My Captains chair it is time to get back to this old Girl!....My control panels have been laser cut and are on the way too me, you should see a lot of progress over the next few weeks! :love
stay tuned!

Looking great Bruce!

Hey Thanks John!.....she is a little dusty but I will whip her into shape quickly I hope....Parts I am waiting on are the 2 laser cut control panels, 2 smoked plexi graphic covers, and the assembly for the plotting disk in the center..........that should be pretty trick I hope, the one you see in some of the pix was just a mock up I was playing with!
Here is how the center will work........
