Need ideas for a Star Trek display...updated an finished...for now

I recently got my Kirk desk replica (as seen in his quarters) built by our very own HDtheater here on the RPF. After I added my bridge chair it's now a working desk which I love. It now sits in the corner of my prop room but as you can see, thye two walls in front are bare. I'd like to put something on them that lends itself to a genera TOS theme.



I'd rather not do a poster or any Trek uniform pieces. I do have a god bridge plaque and a red intercom unit that I'm getting ready to put up but that's it.
I wecome any ideas to make this display complete!

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Cool Nomad. Was that a kit?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Yeah, it was a kit off of eBay like 8 years ago. It needed a lot of work but I added lights and sound to it.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

i'd put a bat'leth on the wall!:ninja....
oh my bad you said to keep it tos.

how about a vulcan lute?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

I know you said no posters, but what about rotating the table 90 degs. counter clockwise, put the chair between the table and the wall, and hang this framed picture behind you?



Awesome table and chair by the way!

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

That's not bad!

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

And while I was cruising "Court Martial" pics, I spotted this wall art. Would look cool and is probably easy to make.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

That is very cool! Now where do I find that reflective pattern...?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display



What about this?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Maybe be you could use something like this:

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

My local sub-shop has counters that look kind of like that.

Metal surface polished, and then circles lightly ground in.

Sort of like this....



The shops counters circles are in ordered rows, not overlapped and look more like the artwork.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Nice! Keep the ideas rolling, guys. I'm starting to get a feel for what I need to do.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Something like this:

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

It's called "jewelling", and it shouldn't be too hard to find.

BTW: maybe the door chime they have now that does the red alert thing:

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Here how about this...

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

i've seen gift wrapping paper just like that reflective pattern and it'd cost you all of $3 tops lol

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Dude! Where do I find that?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

gonna have to scour over the web to look for it at party supply stores.
if we knew the pattern name it would make it 10,000 times easier.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

there's also this stuff called laser paper looks like this

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

After much consideration (the wife was tossed between many of your suggestions!) we decided to go with this. However, is this material still available?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

The original material isn't available but there is material out there that is close.
This pic is from Star Trek Phase II.
You could probably ask them where to get it from.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Do you know what it's called (or how I would refer to it at the fabric store?
The woodwork should be pretty easy.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

I'll see if I can find out

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Almost like gold spray painted burlap...

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

I'd like to know too. I'm doing a Star Trek office so those background pieces would be cool.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Does anyone know the material Phase II is using for their TOS. bedspreads?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

This may help a little. http://starfleet1701st.yuku.com/topic/1893

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

James Calway says he had to have it custom made.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Okay, so back to square one. :facepalm

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Do you want this corner of the room to look like a set or does it just need to be Trek related?

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

So long as it's TOS related, we're pretty open. Hell, if I could get me hands on a Vulcan harp (lute) that would solve a big part of the problem!

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Hmm perhaps I'm a bit late on this but how about a see through bulk ead? Not geographically correct but how about if that desk was set directly under a window that looked out into hmm lets say the warp core? You could make a "window" frame with detailed surround and under some plexii glass have a scaled view from some part of the ship. That might be cool?

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

You can do that with a hand-drill or drill press and a wire cup. Do an even overlapped pattern and you get that.

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Well, after a few months I decided to go with something I really needed...more prop space! So I added a few extra shelves and I did a little McCoy display to the right of the desk. Plus, I now have a space to put Nomad!

 

Re: Need ideas for a Star Trek display

Lol! That stupid frog complains about everything!

 

I know I have been trying to get Dad to do a weapons locker with 5 PHASERS in it, on the wall ( cause he has them ) for his TOS Kirks chair , with a shadow box of Kirks uniform top with insignia....but he aint going for it , at least not yet ...LOL

 

Very cool display, Funky.

 

Now when someone gets a compliment from Nicksdad.....you truly have done something amazing....I don't see too many posts like that from Da Man !!! He is right it is very cool , congrats on a awesome , TOS display

 

Thank you, gentlemen. Next...Kirk's chair!

What caught my eye in your photo, Funky Jedi, was that renewal mask from Logan's Run. I always like seeing some love for that movie

 

Logan's Run should be required watching for RPF membership.
