Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Still harping on the markings: Did we ever see 1701 anywhere on the ship outside of, well, the outside?

I was thinking the same thing, and couldn't recall any instance off the top of my head. That nudged me to vote for only Enterprise on the wall.
 
I'm leaning towards 1) the more minimal approaches and 2) keeping with what we've seen elsewhere on the ship. Which might just be U.S.S. Enterprise

I’m drawing a blank. Where on the inside of the ship did we see “U.S.S. Enterprise”?
 
What a night I missed!
Pu-shah. Try coming off of a two-week AFK vacay. :lol: I got a lot of reading to do and likes to give out.

@Donny I do like most of the choices you made for the forward bulkhead, including the minimal Enterprise, but I'm not crazy about the shape of the cargo doors or their labeling. No matter how I imagine them opening, I see wasted cargo clearance introduced by the slanted framing.
 
Anyway, got the fueling station done and detailed the floor a bit more than it was previously. The black lines running from the turntable to the flight deck's aft wall are now inset into the floor, and not just "painted on".



Also, I suppose "in-universe" this fueling station has six nozzles because it is capable of dispensing six different types of fuel which are commonly used by Federation and non-aligned spacecraft throughout known space. Let's say, for whatever reason, the Enterprise takes in a small non-aligned craft into the flight deck. Perhaps it doesn't use the same fuel as a Class-F shuttlecraft, and can therefore be refueled with the correct type of fuel before it departs, as a courtesy to small craft's pilot and crew.

Love this more every time I see it Donny.

On the fuelling stations: Rather than different fuels in the sense of power providing fluids (antimatter, plasma, petrol, diesel, LPG, perhaps?) could it be providing the various basic substances a single shuttle might need: antimatter, plasma, oxygen, deuterium, raktajeno, and spare shirts?

I have a revision of *all* six pipes connecting into a single shuttle at the same time...

I'd go with the USS above the doors (preferably with a banner like in 4 or 6, but that's just me). Here's a historical shot that has it (of an A-4 Skyhawk from the actual Enterprise)

Or one line to each nacelle and the impulse drive for the four shuttlecraft all being fueled at the same time.
 
I usually work feverishly on this project on the weekends, but I feeling a little burned out so I’ll be playing it safe and taking the weekend off to play some video games, and yes...engage in social activities. I’m also pretty busy at work on Star Trek Online right now so I just need a pause from modeling and *gulp* Star Trek.

Not that any of you need to know this, but I’ve gotten quite used to my routine so it feels a little weird to not work on the project this weekend. We all know these breaks never last long so I’ll be right back at it before you know it ;-)
 
So, I forgot to mention this other convention buy I'm excited about. It's a preorder, slated for release in December 2019, but I had to preorder it at the convention to get a pretty hefty discount.

They were kind enough to let me try on the prototype, which fit like a glove (note that some details of the jacket are missing, notably the "solar system patch" on the shoulder.


Now, to just put it out of my mind for a year and a half....
 
Hmm, if that coat were mid shin length, it would make one h3ll of of a Cyberpunk motif! It's the ribbing in the collar and other strategic regions that give it that vibe, at least to me.
