Except for small bits and pieces, the sets for these three bridges are completely different. The Stargazer was the original TOS movie set; the Enterprise-C was cobbled together from science labs and such; and the Nebbie-Prommie was half new, and half pieces of the second TOS movie set. :) Mark [/qb][/QUOTE]Like you, I always believed the STARGAZER and Battle Bridge were redresses of the first TOS movie bridge, but I have read somewhere in the last year or so (wish to Hell I could remember WHERE) that it was actually made from the extra duplicate moldings done at the time of PHASE II, when they cast extra skins of several of the bridge segments to have on hand in the event of destruction scenes or quick redresses/swapouts to represent other ships (this part is covered specifically in the Ed Gross unauthorized TREK THE LOST YEARS, and probably some mention is made of it in the authorized PHASE II book as well, though I don't recall for sure on the latter.) The idea that these leftover bits were used might also explain why the STARGAZER and BATTLE BRIDGE are much closer to the colors for the Ent movie bridge as seen in the first three films, before it got repainted into that gaudy white-on-white-plus-chrome disaster seen in the last frames of TREK IV. I think the only part of the TMP/phase II bridge that is still part of the trek universe is the area around and in front of the lift doors ... I think John Eaves said that they are in use on the -E. BTW, I never realized the NEB stuff relied on any of the ST5/6 bridge ... I thought they only started using that on TNG with GAMBIT -- good bit of info, thanks! [/QB][/QUOTE]
