Damn dude, very nice. Anyways, I'm new to the forum and haven't seen any of your previous work. I was just wondering if you've done anything similar to this with the Defiant's bridge.

Hey, I was just curious if you take requests. If so could you possibly make the Defiant's bridge? I'm working on a project of making the Defiant out of Legos and I want to get it as acurate as possible. For that matter, if you know where I can find any pics of Defiant stuff, that too would be appreciated.

I do indeed take requests, but I'm afraid I've got a substantial backlog as a result. It may be a month or more before I can get to it, but I wouldn't mind doing it at all.

Geez, a bridgemaster indeed! Being a francophone, I guess I'll call you Maitre DuPont. Anyway, I'll wait for a 1024 x 768 to proudly show off to my friends as a wallpaper, if that's okay with you.
Ooh, you take requests? In that case, I'd like to re-submit a request for a GCS bridge with a Defiant or Voyager color palette. Or even, one with the TOS palette! Imagine that horseshoe in the red-top railing of the original enterprise, bluish walls, and so forth...
And could we suspect a Nova-class bridge is on the list somewhere?

A nova class bridge is on the list, since it is based so closely on the Prometheus bridge. The problem I am having is finding adequate reference material for either set. I haven't been able to find anythng showing the helm console of either bridge, for example. Same with the viewscreen.

GCS = Galaxy Class Starship. I meant a mod to your existing E-D (or Akira/Sabre) bridge meshes. Sorry, I'm using newsgroup terminology. :P
As for Nova class reference material, I suppose the best thing to do is wait for Equinox I/II to show up on the spec channels again. Or maybe someone here could come up with a few screencaps? Anyway, I'm looking forward to your interpretation of it. It's got those neat conn consoles that wrap under the edge facing the operator, and those pastel chairs that look like you could slide out of them if you weren't careful.

Oh yeah, and in the area of "constructive criticism" for the Akira/Sabre refit bridge, I think the central command chairs are a little too close together. They can't spin right around like the E-D chairs could (ref: Data spins it 180 degrees in "A Matter of Honor" to talk to that Benzite exchange guy). I *do* like the idea of putting the command sub-consoles between the chairs, though. It's a lot more Sovereign like. Unfortunately, the Captain of this ship couldn't casually put his hand on his counsellor's thigh anymore, with them in the way.
And the chairs on the refit side-consoles are somewhat out-of-place on a the GCS bridge, being re-uses of the ones originally molded for the E-A in Star Trek VI. I know they've shown up on other TNG-era bridges (the Prometheus in particular), but they just seem out of place to me, especially given the row of standard pull-out chairs at the back of the bridge. It can grow on us, though. Anyone know what kind of chairs did they use in the equivalent places on the E-D in "Generations"? I can't remember.
