Acenos' Art Requests and Questions

Some aftermarket guys have made bridges with two turbolift bulges for symmetry.
I personally go by the theory that the bridge faces perfectly forward, the turbolift jogs forward and to port to reach the doors, while a spare turbolift car is always on standby to starboard. This lets the shaft be centered and the doors offset. I know people are going to say the dome isn't big enough for this, but hey, if the Jupiter II can have 3 decks, I can have turboshafting in the bridge dome.

I've always intended to. It feels like the more sensible solution to me (followed by "Bridge and lift fit comfortably inside the dome, and the turboshaft-shaped nub is a weird coincidence," with "bridge is cockeyed" dead last). I once modified a CG model to add the offset, but it looked funnier than I expected (IIRC, my feeling was that the weathering didn't match, and I didn't care to repaint the textures at that moment, and it'd probably also "sell" better with a bridge set under the transparent dome, so you could see the door leading to it), so I put it back. Still, it's a quick change, and I have an old scene that would show it off...
@Acenos, I'm afraid you are going a bit overboard with these seemingly random art requests of yours. This last week alone, for example, you started four of those threads. Looking for a particular piece of artwork is okay once in a while, but the idea of the Fan Art subforum is to, well, post your fan art. The quantity of your requests verges on violating the “No spamming” section of the board rules.
Instead of asking you to dial it back, though, I'm going to do something different: I'm re-designating and re-naming this thread as the destination for all you future requests in the vein of “Has anyone ever done [insert random art request here]?”. So please just put further requests in here, thank you.

Most common TOS ones I know are the Starfleet Battles Game Fighter shuttles some named after
20 and 21st century fighter jets.
