Got any Bridge "Porn"?

[CaptainSerek]

The bridges I am still waiting for are the following:

USS Enterprise-D variations from Yesterday's Enterprise, Future Imperfect, Parallels and All Good Things... as well as the Battle Bridge from Best of Both Worlds, USS Lantree, USS Brattain, USS Bozeman, USS Enterprise from Star Trek XI, USS Odyssey, USS Yamato, USS Tsiolkovsky, USS Defiant with the holo-emitter variant and the USS Yosemite.

These are going to take a while unless someone wants to step up to the plate.

Anyone have any conceptual drawings for the original idea for the Excelsior Bridge in STIII. I remember it looked cooler than the final design

Wow, thanks all, you made my day.

Cary L Brown - OK this is REALLY weird then.. I originally drew this Aries gunboat back in 1983 for the Star Trek Role Playing Game my friend and I played back in the day. I found my old drawings in a closet a few years ago and since I was learning 3d modeling at the time I thought I'd try to make my teenage drawings in 3D (I'm now 42 yrs old)

Here is a pic of my original drawing from 1983:

3d model of it I made 2 yrs ago:

If you look close enough you can see the innards of the bridge thru the windows.



You still have your drawings Cary? I'd love to see them. Very weird though.. We must have tapped into the sci-fi collective consciousness of the time.

sbk1234 - You are the first person to catch that, and yes it was intentional! The insignia make a perfect console shape

Reminds me of this.

There are two here:

Though I'm sure I've seen better angles showing the back of the bridge somewhere.

Here's my go at bridge designing. Made ion Sketch-Up, it's just a rough-up, as of now. I've only begun to put the detailing on the consoles.

This is my visualization of a bridge on an Enterprise era ship, perhaps a later generation NX, or a following vessel design.

I did many concepts for the look of the Kelvin, some conservative and some fairly pushed,

Hmm, I'm going to reference to my Aurora bridge set as well, which y'all can find from here on forward (including some engineering samples). I hope you guys can give me some advice on it ^_^

 

[CaptainSerek]

I just put up the USS Bellerophon NCC-74705 from Endgame up. I know the bridge was never shown so I did a little concept of it.

^What name is it under CaptainSerek?

I meant which ship name? I couldn't find "Bellerophon" in your album...

It's [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/fadmvulcan/3977772083/in/set-72157604354548317/]this[/URL] bridge, though it looks likea crude hack 'n slash job of the regular Intrepid with just a hussle and addition of seats.

 

[CaptainSerek]

Yes, you nailed it.

It's http://<br /> [Bthis bridge, though it looks likea crude hack 'n slash job of the regular Intrepid with just a hussle and addition of seats.

As far as I can tell, the number of seats here is the same as on VOY... the only addition(s) I see, are two forward metal handrails.

Take a closer look at the center.
Voyager´s center section only seats the CO and the XO while Bellerophon´s bridge has seats for three people.

Just open both pics in separate tabs and it´ll be easier to see:

Ah... ok. I had forgotten that VOY had no "Counselor" seat.

 

[CaptainSerek]

How it is listed on the my Flickr site: Intrepid - 1 chair, Commanding Officer. Voyager - 2 chairs, Commanding Officer and First Officer, Bellerophon - 3 chairs, Commanding Officer, First Officer and Counselor/Second Officer. Pretty basic stuff. I put them in order of registry so it would give some chronology.

See my first post in this thread for a link to all my Star Trek Fact Files/The Magazine style bridges I have so far.

You're my hero for today.
That gallery is amazing!

Thanks for the kind words. The gallery is always building and evolving. There will be more.

I still remember making some of those; the bad thing was I got rid of the computer that I used to make the ones I did

 

[CaptainSerek]

You are more than welcome to download the bridges you made and put them back on to your own hard drive.

 

[nx1701g]

^ oh no I'm afraid I meant that the program I'd been using to do them left with the old computer. I still have been making a few.
