As suspected, it's not exactly a redress of the TOS movie bridge, as much as it is a redress of the E-D battle bridge that was created from it. Here's the FF diagram of the E-D battle bridge from Fitz's site:
http://fitz8472.hypermart.net/bridges/bbridge_enterprise_d.jpg
As you can see, the battle bridge only uses the aft third of the TOS movie set, and finishes the circle with newbuild walls and wall displays forward of the turbolifts. Then there's the new chairs and forward consoles.
Anyway, here's how you can modify your GCS battle bridge to the Stargazer bridge! First, you put the TOS movie chairs back in the CO, Nav and Helm places, and the Helm/Nav console current as of ST IV (using the Okudagrams of that movie). Don't forget to remove the big tactical console from behind the CO chair.
Then, you take the starboard side freestanding console, turn it around, and prop it against the display screen on the wall. On the port side, you replace the display screen with a large, irregularly-shaped screen and console. You swap the starboard turbolift with a Voyager-esque corridor that arcs portward, yet looks like a turbolift anyway (actually, this corridor may have been borrowed from the Universal Studios' Star Trek attraction of the late 80s, which has an identical corrridor that is supposed to look like a turbolift when the audience actors walk out of it).
Finally, before you sprinkle the set with debris and dust, you clearly mark EVERYTHING with LARGE AND VERY OBVIOUS SIGNS. The aft wall now reads SYSTEMS STATUS, TACTICAL is on the port console, HELM and NAV are on the front of the forward console, and the portside lift is now marked with TURBO LIFT. This is obviously so that anyone on the viewscreen can clearly tell what stations are on the ship, regardless of how nearsighted he is. Oddly enough, the starboard station is the only one not obviously marked.
Result? Your very own Stargazer bridge! Modify yours today!

Still, kickass scan of hte Stargazer bridge - although it is inaccurate. The Tactical console isn't like that... It's a single integrated unit built into the wall.

Hey, have the Fact Files people released a Hathaway bridge? If so, I must see it... That's got to be one of the most unusual Federation ship bridges ever. And I though the seat next tot he CO chair was the Tactical console? Riker did invite Work to join the Hathaway crew as the Tac officer...

Anyway, I guess the Stargazer FF diagram is slated for June, then. No Hathaway?
