Your build is fantastic! I am glad you are going to be able to use the graphics...I have never gotten around to build my own so I am pleased someone can make use of them
Keep up the amazing work!

This is amazing work. If you can make a few of them, put me down for one. I still have all my old Enterprise stations gathering dust in my cupboard.

Okay, so I am encountering some significant problems with the Helm Construction, notably, trying to reproduce the flooring texture that appears on all the other pieces. The problem is that every time I cast from the mould the finished resin piece is full of bubbles. They are clinging to all those little holes in the mould no matter how slow I pour. So, until I can resolve the issue I have put it to one side and directed my mind elsewhere. Now, I have stated, I think, quite clearly that it is not my intention to build anything other than the Helm station but if I ever did, it would probably look a lot like this.
I just can't help myself, can I !!!??? It was just grating on my nerves that the platforms for T'Pol's and Reeds stations were too narrow front to back so I built a new one to the correct size.....and then I made the floor tracks for the chair to slide in....
So pretty soon, I had the back walls bashed out and I started on the rear console.
This is actually T'pols console but She's without a head at the moment so I set it up on the other side of the bridge. Here's a detail shot.
So, to stop me going down this crazy route, building ANOTHER 3.5 foot wide bridge, can someone please solve my flooring issue???

Thank you for the support, folks! I really appreciate it. As for making and selling copies, to be honest, I hadn't even thought about it. I just see things that don't exist but should and I make them exist. That's why I do this. I certainly wouldn't be adverse to the idea but it would be hollow cast plastic resin rather that 3D printing as, I am sorry to say, 3D printing of a piece this large would be prohibitively expensive, IMHO.
I guess if enough people were genuinely interested, say......a minimum of ten pre-orders, it might be worth looking at....
Add my name to the list of 10 in that case!

Bubble issue: I don't know if you have the capability to do so or not, but I've been told if you have a way to vibrate the item as you pour the resin, the bubbles will work themselves out before the resin sets.
