Yes. But it does have multiple levels. If you go to the Star Trek Movie webiste you can do a 360 turn around of the Bridge durring normal ops and durring Red Alert. It is pretty cool.

I bought the foam board at a Michael's Art Supply Store...and I used very sharp exacto blades to cut the board..... I went through 4 blades cutting...It was kind of diifficult.

I do want to do the walls...I'm hoping when the movie comes out more options will become available.... I'm not quite sure yet.

Hey Bad....
You can actually tell on the Vinyl mat that it has levels like the Enterprise E ... They simulated " Lights" coming from under the stairs ( There are actually steps) and the various levels.... I think Playmates designed this so people might customize it !!! It was very easy to see where to make the cuts for the levels and steps.

LOL, i was thinking the same thing. But that might give me a reason to buy the corrected bridge set with black shirt Kirk.

It took some time and a steady hand :-) ....I'd say I put about 10 hrs into it.

Thought the community would like to see this response from Playmates.

The Kirk in Off Duty outfit will probably come as a stand-a-lone (separate) 3.75 figure package.

I recently purchased the Star Trek Bridge Playset. Does this mean I'll have to buy the Playset again to obtain the Utility Kirk Shirt action figure?

Hmmm...thanks, good to know.
I'm still trying to decide the best way to do the bridge levels for me. I do NOT have a steady hand for cutting so i'm thinking of just using box cardboard. It won't look as good on the edges but at least it'll be cheaper and it won't be a big deal if my hand slips or i mess up on the outline.

I used 1/4" Foam core and layered the various levels...I still have more work to do.
YEAH HI! I'M NEW HERE BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PROMETHEUS: WHAT TYPE OF GLUE DID YOU USE FOR THE VYNIL MAT ON THE FOAM CORE,IF ANY?
BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME IDEA AND WHEN I SAW YOURS I LOVED IT.

KirkPR1 I used a craft glue that works on plastics, wood, and paper called "Tacky Glue" ..... I bought it at Michael's Art Supply.... You have to cover all the surface area and apply quickly than let it dry overnight.

Thanks.
Hey BillyTrek .... Yes foamcore and Foam Board are exactly the same thing..... The Foamcore just refers to the core of the two pieces of board being foam.... Be sure you have an exacto and ALOT of blades !!!! The foam board dulls the blades quickly !!!! Hope this helps :-)
