Donny's Refit Enterprise Interiors (Version 2.0)

[Maurice]

@Donny had probably seen these before, but...

Publicity photo of the sickbay ward scene (link). Nothing new here.

Ilia Probe on the exam table...

• image of her exterior on the screen (link). Flopped.
• image of her skeleton (link)
• here you can see that the lower corners of the exam screen are rounded (link)

Heading to V'ger and casting shadows on the painted backdrop (link)

I like this image because you can really see the floor detail on the lift
from to the outer hull (link).

These two let you see the floor of the sonic shower, and you can really see how they just pushed the shower booth up against the doorway (link1) and (link2) (it was originally part of a larger bathroom area seen on that Kirk TV quarters blueprint.

Slightly warmer lighting and those wacky colors adoring the storage containers for the TWOK side of things. I still don't know what that graphic is supposed to be. I simply cropped it out of a screencap and ran it through an AI-enhanced resizing program called "AI Gigapixel" and plopped it onto the material. One of those TWOK mysteries that will probably go forever unsolved.

It looks a bit like an old TV test pattern. The impression I get is that TWOK's set dressers were trying to make those look like display screens instead of storage containers. Honestly, before I saw your reconstruction of the TMP version of the set the other day, I would've assumed they were screens.

I’ve always posited that it was a clip of mirrored front view of the refit blueprints. A stretch, I know, but it kind of looks like it, at least to me.

Likely "WARD C". The signage outside the examination room lists a few wards:


EMERGENCY
ROOM (there could be a letter or number here, but "ROOM" looks centered with "EMERGENCY" so probably not)

INTENSIVE
CARE
WARD (Most likely a letter or number here, given the spacing)

BURN
CENTER
WARD B
(Strange that this part is not center with the rest of the text, so there's possibly something to the right of this block of text. Back in 2014, I put the medical logo there)

And, does this signage mean that this ward represents all three of these things? Are there unseen directional arrows pointing crew members to separate wards?

What are we seeing through the doorway in that pic? Doesn’t that door lead to this part of the ICU ward?

Did they take out the back wall of that set for TWOK and replace it with something else?

Yes, it does. They simply placed one of those greeble panels from the corridor into the ward near the door to the examination room.

Thanks for all those!

Ha! I was trying to remember what it was someone had suggested that graphic looked like. This is bringing back some memories. Where do the years go?

 

[cardinal biggles]

I still can't believe it was six years since the last time you did sickbay. Could have sworn it was yesterday.

 

[137th Gebirg]

It definitely doesn’t feel like that long ago.

 

[Tallguy]

This is not about age. And you know it.

Oh, I didn't realize they'd used a painting as a set extension there.

Was the lift ever visible in the film? Maybe this is just the normal texture of the soundstage riser/forklift/whatever.

The lift was no doubt fully detailed and I’m sure the actors were disembarking it as part of the coverage of the scene. Because it has to fit perfectly into the hole in the set, I suspect even if it is on a riser or something there is a custom-made floor piece. In some of the photos of the actors on the lift you can see the control pedestal. You can see the same pedestal in the hatch that Kirk goes through in his spacesuit in the deleted airlock scene. That always struck me as a strange set, because it does not match the external hatch used in the spacewalk but has the lift for the wingwalk. But no script I’ve ever seen indicates the actors were supposed to go through any set to get to the wingwalk (It just cuts from the bridge to the exterior of the hull) so the inclusion of that lift in that set is a bit of a puzzler.

I was thinking that the shot might have been taken by a still photographer rather than being a film clip, so the filmed footage wouldn't necessarily have been from that angle.

I wonder if they were originally thinking about having Spock leave the ship for his spacewalk from the wingwalk hatch. Or maybe just being nebulous about the whole thing when constructing that set so it could double for either if necessary.

I'm sure that's a still photographer image, but I'm also sure they shot the actors rising up and stepping off the pad, because they did so in the superwide shot for the matte plate and as a matter of course you'd shoot the same action in closer.

I have thought that maybe the intention was for him to exit that way. If I had the shooting schedule I could see if that airlock set was designed before the model was designed with those lower saucer hatches.

Were the docking hatches not there on the early version of the model with the simpler dome? Asking because most of the photos I've seen of that version are either from other angles or lacking in detail.

The hatches were there pretty early, but I am not sure when construction of the model started.

 

[Rick Sternbach]

Do you remember (roughly) when those bed monitors changed? I thought they were the same graphics (though maybe with different colored gels) all the way from TMP through Generations.

No idea. The graphics I'm talking about were for the trapezoidal monitors attached to the TMP beds, just so we're on the same page. The vertical scales were a tip o' the hat to the TOS displays. I occasionally helped out with graphics on TNG, but those were mainly Mike Okuda's territory. - Rick

 

[cardinal biggles]

Yes, we're definitely on the same page. Thank you for your answer, Rick!

 

[Donny]

I've been taking a healthy break the last couple of days, and decided to use the down-time to take the final renders of the officer's lounge. Here are the shots of the TMP lounge for your enjoyment:


















Shots of the TWOK lounge and videos coming soon!

 

[Mytran]

The pictures on the walls really give these rooms a lovely friendly feel.

I couldn't quite tell from the shots, is there a secondary entrance to the lower level or is the only way in through the retractable walls?

The only way is through the retractable walls. I know, it's kind of silly.
