Ah. OK, thanks. Yet another reason I wish they'd release TOS in a Season Set format....

Nice TMP map, Harry! It's been a while since I saw TMP (though I do have the DVD-SE)... they really do use that perspective view for the map? Though it looks cool, it seems kinda illogical for a 2D display...

That's kind of my own invention. But it is based on the countless weird "oh look we have a budget!" 3d(-ish) scanners, monitors and charts blinking on the bridge.
And TOS Season Sets are a Very Very Very Good IdeaTM

Well - what I'm saying is, is that it could be the just the Federation Neutral Zone side that runs through the Romulan system (and maybe only in BoT - after that it might have been pushed back due to the destruction of the outposts) and that the Romulan Star Empire extended out the other way... or up even.

Unless of course it's an intentional tie-in to those scans of FJ's manual that cropped up in TWoK.
They did use Microgramma Bold-Ext in the later movies, but it was medium in most of the TMP displays.

There are no "maps" in TMP.
There are a two tactical projections around the V'ger cloud and projections of V'ger and its weapons in Earth orbit, but that's it.

I meant to post this before, Harry, but I forgot. Sorry. It's a display similar to yours that appeared in Shane Johnson's Worlds of the Federation that might help if you plan to make revisions to your version.
