    As it was foretold...they're coming out of the woodwork to sign up for your crew. I think you'll be able to fill the 80-member roster in no time :techman:

    Perhaps it's time to design the below-decks replica?

    Ok installing carpet it a slower and more painful process than I expected, I never did it before so have to take my time wish I don't have plenty right now... Here's anyway a photo of what it look right now (7:44 am):

    I did most of the cutting (that's the painful part) it still need to be glue.
    I was not shure about the lines but it really increase the roundness of the room. Anyway I like it :)
    I case you wonder I'm not a carpenter or a wood worker, I'm a software engineer :D
    And as you may notice I've start working from the my bridge and even it's not finish I can assure you IT IS AWESOME ! I'm happy as I can!

    PS. I'm a French Canadian and lived 9 years in France so my English is a bit rusted so I apologize in case :)

    ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Quebecois? OK, this is a perfect place to burnish the rust from your English. Nobody here will criticize your writing and reading all the replies will give you a broader sense of informal usage. Oh, and your project is outstanding!

    Captain's log, stardate 94510.18, finally the carpet on the bridge is done ! Our next mission will be the captain's chair, too bad Trip is not on board. It's hard not to get excited ! :)
    One big step completed I'll be working on smaller stuff now, my captain's chair of course but also some minor things (painting to fix, lights, doors for the cabinet, install the main viewscreen, etc...). I'll post more photos on each step.
    (Yes I lived in Quebec)

    Thank you all, I'm very happy with the result myself. It's far from completed and it's not perfect but it's getting there! It's a dream coming true I remember drawing a "futuristic" desk in the late 90's watching TNG, but as soon as I start watching Enterprise I fell in love with the Ship. In 2004 we built a new home and I was to do something in the basement. We had to move to France in 2005 leaving the idea behind, but was still on my mind... Finally last year eureka! Back in Quebec buy a new house without a garage, it didn't take long to revive my project to built a 2 for 1; garage and home office/bridge on second floor!
    It took a long long time working on every little time I had. But right now sited at my desk, and soon I hope my captain chair, I forgot all the troubles, pain, frustration I had during construction :)
    Next step got to find a way to built this: Any ideas...

    Try to locate a discarded dentist's chair. Might make an excellent starting place.
