Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

Are they original Burkes? I assumed they just newly fabricated the whole chair.
You can find original Burkes on eBay, among other places. Paramount can afford a lot more of them than fan filmmakers can. A proper swivel chair designed that way would cost far more to fabricate from scratch, even with 3D printing, than the hundreds that an old one will run you.

I'm afraid direct links to images on Wikia pages never work. Well, it'll work for you, but nobody else – we just get a generic "broken image" icon.

I noticed they'd recoloured it silver for Star Trek Beyond. I do love the Kelvinverse, but that plaque

A. Looks tacky as hell

B. Gets details established minutes earlier in the film (launched from Riverside Shipyard, guys) totally wrong

I wonder if the Kelvinverse-A in Star Trek 4 (should it ever materialise) remember that she's launched from Yorktown...

Actually, she was commissioned in San Francisco for her registry, so that is technically correct. Another example is that cruise ships are built in different parts of the world, but commissioned in Liberia or somewhere for their registration.

Titanic was built in Belfast but carried a Liverpool registration.

Looks like the top of a tin of cookies.
 
So the updated saucer rim is 3 decks high or the equivalent height of three decks like the Kelvinprise

time to start a brand new size argument thread. This ship is bigger than 450 m judging by what I’ve seen thus far

I put some Pikes by the windows to take a guess at the scale. Looks like there's just about enough room in there to fit the rec deck from TMP.
 
The saucer rim is approximately 27 feet high. The rim windows are a little under three feet wide, which is surprisingly consistent or at least plausible in comparison to their full-sized counterparts on the SNW sets:

Yeah, we can have Size Arguments from here to Doomsday based on various assumptions, but despite it not being particularly like that decks would average 9 to 10 feet high that conventionalization has been used in quite a variety of Trek media for many decades now. It's probably derived originally from Jefferies' notations about the size of the TOS ship and number of decks. But of course, set designers have rarely designed to the scale or contours of the models.
