Obvious redressed sets

[RobertScorpio]

We all know that Star Trek, from TV to Movies, loved to redress their sets to get the most milage out of them...sometimes it is a bit too obvious though. What are some of the most blantant examples of a set redress that really stood out?

Valiant/Defiant

Ent-D engine room/Ent-A engine room (Undiscovered Country)

 

[Hermiod]

The multiple re-uses of Ten Forward. They tried to pass it off as a theatre in "Frame of Mind". Why they didn't just say the play was being held in Ten Forward I don't know.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Valiant/Defiant

Why is that a surprise? They're the same ship class...

Did I say it was a surprise?

I'm not criticising the production team, far from it. But the OP is asking for examples of "obvious redressed sets". If the Valiant doesn't fit the bill I don't know what does.

E-D Observation Lounge, E-D Sickbay Season 1

How many times did they use that hexagon door in TOS? I've lost count.

Do we have to limit ourselves to obvious set redresses, or can we use examples where elements of an old set have been redressed and adapted for use in a new one??

For examples of blatantly obvious set redresses, I'd go for the Ent-D observation lounge being all but identical to the Ent-E observation lounge, then being reused as the reception hall in Insurrection, and for Voyager's sickbay being repainted to serve as the Ent-E's sickbay in First Contact, and appearing again completely unaltered in Insurrection.

When it comes to elements of old sets being adapted and redressed for use in new sets, the most obvious one that springs to mind is the reuse of Ten-Forward's windows (suitably turned upside down) to serve as the windows of Janeway's ready room and the conference lounge on Voyager. I'm also convinced that Voyager's mess hall was constructed out of set elements rescued from the Ent-D's Ten-Forward set as well.

Planet Hell. Galorndon Core was one example of that set. I THINK that world in the Argolis Cluster where Hugh was found might be another use.

 

[Art Vandelay]

The townsquare set that appears all through TNG season 7 and DS9 season 2 (Thine Own Self, Journey's End, Firstborn, Preemptive Strike, Shadowplay). Look for those narrow stairs, they're a dead giveaway.

Then there's what I like to call the "throne room set", seen in Masks, Blood Oath and The House of Quark.

Ten Forward passing as the Federation president's office in The Undiscovered Country.

USS Voyager bridge

USS Equinox bridge

exact same design on a very different ship, only difference was the Equinox was beaten up.

Naw, the Equinox bridge was a lot smaller, had more of a ST VI-bridge feel to it, and only had one command chair. I think it may have been a redress of the Excelsior bridge built for "Flashback" and ST:Borg. They probably kept it around just in case.

That is so true...I felt it was just one continuous world!!

Kirk's quarters...Worf's quarters looked the same....

And what about the hallway in TREK V? It even looked like END-D way too much..at least Meyers added the wiring tubing to make it 'look' different in THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

[backstept]

the various re-uses of the ent-d battle bridge for the stargazer and many others

But wasnt that a redress of one of the movie enterprise (Kirk's ship) set?

[RobertScorpio]

Oh, and I still maintain as I did months ago that the 'communication' set in awful movie CONGO was a redress of the bridge set...proof? Made by Paramount is all I need for proof...but check it out..its so transparent to me..

The door to the Central Plexus of the Borg sphere from which Janeway and Seven stole a transwarp coil was the door to the Delta Flyer's aft section. It was bathed in green light and opened faster to make it hard to notice.

No redressing necesary, but the console with lit tower next to the Delta Flyer's aft station was also seen in Voyager's Science Lab and in the lab of the Pathfinder Project at Starfleet HQ. The port wall of the Flyer's aft section also appeared aboard Voyager in one scene.

The alien shuttlebay in VOY: Body and Soul was Voyager's shuttlebay thinly disguised.

The full-sized type 6 shuttlecraft prop was seen in an episode of Seven Days. This prop also sometimes doubled as a type 8 in various Trek epidodes.

Huh..i like those. I will probably print many of these and keep them at the ready. Love to look for these kinds of things, and obviously others (you for one) are far better at it than I am

Thanks for the tips!!

The E-E's "library" in INS and Voyager's main engineering.

The Defiant's bridge and the fake "Delta Flyer" bridge in an episode of VOY.

The Hathaway's bridge, the E-C's bridge, various control rooms, and the E-D's brig during a few episodes. I think it was also a court-room on the E-D during "Drumhead" IIRC, and part of the computer core at one point as well. It also served as the Bozeman's bridge.
