Set blueprint exchange

I've uploaded the Pegasus Engineering blueprints to flickr in a new album

Also treklandtrunk has put on ebay the set blueprint for the racquetball court on DS9 - this was a conversion of the holosuite. The plan also has a section of corridor with dimensions.

Eventually racquetball was dropped as it was just too costly to repeatedly convert the holosuite. Darts was the replacement game.
 
A couple more blueprints uploaded to flickr:

These screens were reused repeatedly (STI - klingon ship, STII - Enterprise Engineering, STIII - klingon ship, STIV - klingon ship, TNG: several episodes including "Coming of Age")

Nice find on the TAT floorplan, exactly as I'd imagined! The presence of the "mini Bridge" is a bonus I did not expect however
 
I didn't notice the "mini bridge" on the sheet until you pointed it out - well spotted

I've been through each of the sheets relating to the corridor to figure out the numbers and annotating it on top in clearer text. The overall dims for stage 11 have been added to help with scaling.
Instead of uploading all these annotated sheets separately, I've combined them into one large image with the various elements rearranged.

The flickr preview above is a bit hard to see the numbers, so here is a link to the full size image (this is usually accessed through the downwards arrow icon on the preview page)

That's a useful composite thanks. It's also a good comparison of the set they wanted (top) compared to the truncated one they ended up with (bottom). The reasons for this are detailed in "The Magic Of Tribbles" which also explains just how little reference material they had to work with. The end result is rife with inaccuracies to be sure (at least from a hardcore-TOS perspective) but I am much more forgiving after reading that book! ;-)

This has to be the best thread ever!!! I'm impressed with the resourcefulness and the level of selfless sharing going on here! So my total thanks to you guys for this little gold mine.

Thanks for spotting that - I've updated the flickr label and description

Speaking of Flickr, you've got three concept images under the Phase II section which aren't Phase II at all, but apparently from Roddenberry's Starship concept.
 
I assume you mean the three images with a blue background. The auction site source for these images listed them as Phase II concept art
http://www.icollector.com/Original-...ise-bridge-concept-art-for-Star-Trek_i8632579
http://www.icollector.com/Star-Trek...rt-of-U-S-S-Enterprise-Command-Deck_i10500135
http://www.icollector.com/1451-Matt...it-System-and-Systems-Analysis-Unit_i10500137

Its very possible they started out as starship series concepts, but were later rolled into Phase II, before being abandoned.

The Phase II shuttle started as concept for the starship series, but was later labelled with the Enterprise name. Ultimately the shuttle design would have been too expensive to produce and so was dropped.

Well, not exactly. The first image has this description:

"Original Matt Jefferies USS Enterprise bridge concept art for Star Trek. (NBC-TV, 1966-69) Early color concept sketch of the bridge of the USS Enterprise, accomplished in gouache on a 12 x 16 in. sheet of blue-toned artist’s illustration board, featuring six crewmembers. Created most likely circa Fall of 1964, when the look of the Enterprise and associated sets were being brainstormed. The drawing was discovered years later on the back of an aviation drawing in Matt’s collection, and the front drawing was excised leaving this wonderful concept sketch, which has been matted and framed."

So the captions are contradictory, since these images are clearly all part of a set. And it's not like these auction houses don't misidentify stuff. Finally, the interiors portrayed fit neatly into Jefferies' Staship exterior. But do as you like.
 
Speaking of repurposing, Voyager's sets get a whole new facet once you realize that the pattern strips all over the place actually come from the leach line for a septic tank:

Hey all,

if anyone needs this "strips" just tell me. They are still available on the market but really hard to find.

I think I read the whole thread but without finding what I need - does someone have better photos of the enterprise-e viewscreen and bridge blueprints/set construction plans? :-)
 
As ubiquitous as those were on the various modern-day Trek sets, I'm surprised the company didn't go belly-up after Enterprise was cancelled. :p
