Phase II Engineering Set Blueprints

[aridas sofia]

i feel daft for needing to ask this. I thought someone had posted the construction blueprints for the Phase II engineering set, but I can’t find them anywhere. Do any of you good souls know if I am pursuing a wild goose or if, in fact, these plans have been found and disseminated? I am doing a little art project that would be helped if I could get a... gander at them.

Maybe try the folks at Forgotten Trek?

Hm, I wish I could help, but my own search turns up nothing resembling set plans. The Phase II by the Reeves-Stevenses reproduces a lot of set blueprints, but nothing for engineering, sadly.

Well, the Star Trek [Phase] II engine room is the same set as the TMP one, except that they...

• changed the intermix gizmo
• opened the back wall to put in the forced perspective part (along with the horizontal intermix shaft)
• removed the triangular patterned tiles from the underside of the main deck ceiling (which got repurposed as tiles on Vulcan)

Here's what it looked like before they started remodeling it for TMP (click here to see it super huge). You can see the cross-sections for the big coil things leaning against the walls and the discs on the core they were bolted to. You can also see one of the red panels for the core standing to the lower right of the photo, and banks of lights inside the core tube where the red panels would go (visible in place above).

Pretty sure the octagonal grilled opening is the wall that got opened up, based on the doorway visible on the upper deck to the left of the core and the rail for the one-man lift.

Construction plans for the TMP version of the set are here (link), and from it you can get a lot of basic geometry of the room

You’re right, Maurice. That is what I saw. Of course they are (pretty much) the same set.

Thank you.

Like I wrote... daft.

The Star Trek Blueprints thread has collected some things that should be able to assist, sadly they are of how it appeared in TMP, but should give you a good starting point, as that set went on to eventually be the TNG set too so should be plenty of reference material for you to extrapolate a design from

That’s great. Thank you. Great work that Red General did interpreting those corridor details in a cleaner, more coherent form. It is useful that the elaborate TMP sets carried through in part through to the Voyager production.

I think the question's already been answered. Let me just add that Pat Suwalski's Star Trek Stages History is another resource that may prove useful to you.

I corresponded with Pat 4 years ago and gave him some information about which sets were on what stages, but he apparently has not updated the page in years. In part, I told him:

According to the book The Making of Star Trek The Motion Picture, p.95, the following sets are were in the indicated stages. These do not entirely agree with the information on the site, but some do plug in holes in the information there.

Stage 6
Air Lock [presumably the one where Spock steals the spacesuit]
Officer's Lounge
Memory wall [from scrapped spacewalk]

Stage 8
Recreation Deck
Wingwalk [upper hatch on hull and walkway to V'ger]

Stage 15
V'ger

Stage 12 & 14 [listed together]
San Francisco Tram Station
Klingon Bridge
Epsilon 9

Stage 17
Office Complex (includes Travel Pod)
Spock's Entrance [aka bridge airlock]
Trench [scrapped V'ger spacewalk]

Stage 18
Cargo Deck
