Custom ST:TNG Bridge

There a fellow named Geoff Collard who built a custom TNG Bridge model back in the early 90's. He had some small pics of it on his web page (he builds non-sci-fi custom models for his business). Anyhow, I got in touch with him and asked some questions and that apparently inspired him to make another effort at it.
You can see his old bridge and work on his new one at this link. If you send him an email, tell him Kelly Wilbur sent you.

I wonder if he'd be up for making an OPS from DS9.

Hey everyone, sorry I hadn't seen that I had gotten responses. Geoff emailed me the following on the size and scale:
"the model is 1:15th scale which I worked out as the size of the playmate figures and the model is 44 inches long 30 inches wide"
He has also put some videos up on youtube:

I thought it was a smaller scale, not that large! That is utterly fantastic! The size of the thing, the lights, the chairs, the horse shoe, the accuracy, the doors, the carpet, even the roof...
Unbelievably fantastically astonishingly crazily cool.
I am a 90s Playmates lover, and this has just blown me of my feet! An absolute work of art, the person who made this deserves a medal.
Good luck on the new one, I look forward to seeing it.
Has he got plans to do others?
Thank you for sharing

The stuff I have bolded hasn't been done on the new build yet... unless I'm missing something.
The old version is depicted in the top pictures, and while it is accomplished, and cute, it's hardly accurate.
The new one is only at the roof stage, but is already blowing my mind clear across the room!
