I was thinking about Deg's incredible take upon the Enterprise ("No bloody 'A', 'B', etc..."), demonstrating how just subtle elements of detailing without totally reshaping the structure can make it worthy of of presentation upon an IMAX movie screen.
That begs a question. Can the equivalent be done for the interiors? Has Deg, or anyone else for that matter, attempted a similar notion for the more commonly depicted areas of the ship, the bridge (natch'), sickbay, engineering, or the corridors? How can one keep the same structures and proportions without severely reshaping them, but make them worthy of the "big screen"? Example, the large relatively featureless wall panels that line the corridors, might one round the outer edges (what's the term, chamfer or filleting?) and position the occasional "release clamp" just glimpsed under the edges to suggest they can be removed for maintenance? Maybe given a slightly "brushed" finish rather than a matte white? Would adding "seams" to the deck (implying they can be lifted) be going too far? No, I'm not saying we go for the now almost cliched "grilled" deck plates that vent steam or project noir styled shadows from under-deck lighting, just something that prevents one from thinking it's just a concrete studio floor.
I'm not "tasking" anyone to attempt this, though if my comments inspire anyone to envision such, well great. No, I'm just asking if anyone has already tried and is willing to share images of their work. I realize this would be a monumental project.
Sincerely,
Bill
