Set blueprint exchange

WOW, these are fantastic! I've been hoping to see some of the construction prints for the Generations version of the Bridge for a long time. I hope more turn up for that one, including Worf's new chair at tactical.

So wait, the turbo lift door is rounded? And has been the whole time??

I swear it was flat...Trying to find a screencap that shows it flat vs round...

I think it was designed rounded but built flat

More! MORE!

The small transporter unit was apart of the set in quality of life as well.

I feel like they kept that set up for a few episodes and redressed it.

The small transporter unit was also used on the mercenary ship for 'Gambit', and I theorize it's the same basic structure later used for the Defiant transporter as the measurements match exactly.

I've always designed my stuff with rounded doors. Flat doors wouldn't be logical anyway.

I've never seen such detailed plans for the S3 corridor extension before. Thanks!

Mentioning this for further information, the galley set was a redress of the standing stage 9 set which appeared in TNG s1 first season as a dinner room in Haven, then it appeared in the Neutral Zone. Troi's office from what it appears was a set built inside of this room?

Most importantly it was redressed to the Sutherland bridge, and then various science labs after that.

The shelf in the second print is used in Voyager's sickbay, and in the JR. officers quarters.

Oh my God! I was also going to say they were a holy grail before I saw your same comment. These are fantastic and I've only just had a moment to skim them... I already see some really interesting details that I wonder if they made it to the as built bridge, but then I see other details that I know from photos they built, then abandoned, before filming the pilot, like the slat-design on the side wall panels, and the weird hexagonal carpet patches on the rear deck....in fact, I didn't know for sure, until now, if those were meant to be part of the set design or were some kind of odd carpet protectors they were using during construction. These are great, and I've wanted to see them for so many years! Thank you, whomever provided these!

...ah! The chairs and consoles! I'm still just seeing them all. Amazing!

I just saw the later additions... it's the motherlode!

There are so many things in here that I've been collecting references on for years and a few had been on my shortlist to do a detailed study of, so it's just astonishing to have so many detailed, legible prints of them. I've seen the bridge blueprints in various forms over the years, but always in poor quality and not as many detailed sheets, but at least I knew they were out there, and might be shared one day. But the ready room blueprints, I've only seen as low detail overhead plans, usually as a stage plan with the bridge. Although there would obviously be plans used in construction, I'd never actually seen any out in the wild, so it's amazing to see an extensive set of them. This was a set that I had paid close attention to and it's hard to believe I now can see these plans. I've already picked out some really amazing details that I had wondered about for years... just one example: why was the entry door taller? Was that intentional? I had theories on how/why that happened, but at least I can see here that it wasn't in the original blueprints.

And then the DS9 prints too... man, whomever share these, you're my hero!

batboy853 · Sep 25, 2022

Holy crap! I just noticed the promenade prints! It's like christmas! I am definitely going to need to backup the archive.

NervousEnergy · Sep 25, 2022

These are some incredible updates. But where are you sourcing them all from!? Has a cache of plans just been made public?

Redgeneral · Sep 25, 2022

These are all from one person who is sharing their collection with the archive. However they wish to remain anonymous.
