Looking great, Sean. Really astounding. I love images where you really have to look very carefully to figure out that it isn't real.
*nitpick*The railing supports are looking good, although they might be a bit too polished, now. There is something strange about the lighting and or materials for those forward steps. They somehow seem too bright now or something.*/nitpick*
Glad Okuda's taken an interest. At this rate, it won't be long before Foundation is knocking on your door. Really terrific stuff.

Seanr, nice as always but I have a few nitpicks/pointers again
The backs of the chairs and the captain's chair (the whole body) are too dark. If the lighting on the bridge can light the floor and the railings and even the panels (not the displays) as well as they do, you shouldn't have such DARK chairs (the dark parts of them). The Captains chair just looks like a black polygon, i.e. the light isn't showing any detail (and yes I've got a new monitor with contrast/brightness adjusted)
The red railing (this is in relation to the contrast of the chairs) around the consoles (not around the 'pit/captain/nav/conn' is very red, again in comparison to the chairs and surrounds. Did this bridge have that much red?
So is the blue lighting actually part of the set now (according to the photo) or have just just left it in from out comments before?
I thought there was something on that central panel infront of the Captain's chair. Is there anything else on there?
Is there anything else on that hub thing in the middle of the roof?
What did Okuda say?

You gamma is off regardless of the age of your monitor. I can see the seat cushions just fine on every monitor I've seen the image on. They are suposed to be dark gray.

You talking about the cushions on the edges of the stations? That is accurate.
> So is the blue lighting actually part of the set now (according to the photo) or have just just left it in from out comments before?
Yes. The photo that Okuda sent me was from before they had the okudagrams installed, and even it had all the blue lighting in place.
> I thought there was something on that central panel infront of the Captain's chair. Is there anything else on there?
That is the astrogator. I'm waiting on reference material for that.
> Is there anything else on that hub thing in the middle of the roof?
No.
> What did Okuda say?
He initially emailed me to say that he'd seen the set on TrekBBS and thought it was neat. We've exchanged a few emails since about a number of questions I had (one of which led to him sending me that photo).
