I've been planning this for a while, but just now getting started with building it. So far this is mostly just a test to see if the scale I worked out is correct. It seems a tad small to me but 'll see how it looks when the rest is added.

I would like to have it light up. My plans so far is to make the button panels/displays separately and cast them in clear resin.

can we buy your castings again???
I built a PM scale bridge, it is huge, how much are you going to build yours at? I would probably go with the helm, Spock station, Uhura station, turbo lift and maybe Scott's station, or buy a bigger house...
Can someone build some decent chairs? I would at least like to do that...

Yes that's my plan. It will take a while for everything but my long term plan is to build enough parts to build the whole bridge. All of the stations around the perimeter are pretty much the same so once I make one I can make castings and with small modifications to each it can be any of the stations. I do also have a plan to make some chairs.

I've seen some of his movies with figures on You tube. He has face movement on the figures in sync the Star Trek episodes. Very slick!!!!

After some careful recalculations I adjusted the scale. This seems much better, I think I got it. So now I can start focusing on building without worrying about whether the scale is right or not.

Not too much to show just lots of sanding, but corners are rounded now.
Should have much more progress tomorrow.

With the exception of the base, all of the major pieces are built, now to focus on all the details.
Here they are test fitted together:

It looks great! Can't wait to see it cast in plastic, next to the captain's chair!
