On top of all this Mr. Trek still finds time to make videos for us. Thank you for sharing this with the world Mr. Trek.

They have those LCD windows in Japan office buildings to reflect sunlight, they have millions of embedded crystals in them like an LCD watch face. Current runs through them to flip the window clear or opaque. Same tech as an LCD watch.

Another possibility is on a building like this with the same shape, build just the back end and edge of the hangar bay to scale even if it’s not the entire bay. With all the lighting and logos.

Amazing work

You said it as I thought it. Ships always get upgrades

Big love for your work as you know. My view, as Captain (and as a film maker and model builder) - the angle is a camera cheat; it's throwaway, in a way. If you average the more meaningful narrative cues/hints, in the world of the ship, the bridge faces forwards, even if the tech is wrong (again, it's just a fudge, not intentional, not holy, just a tool for the shot) - no model has ever been made after it. My answer, if wanting to make absolute technical sense - which it never likely will! - would be to engineer the section on a rotating plaftform for demonstration of the fudge, while not compromising the visual

What I wouldn't give to visit and see your Model!! Bloody Amazing!!!

cool something you never think of makes since

You have expanded the bounds of my imagination as to the ships other possibilities.

A fantastic video. Your efforts are very admirable and your imagination is incredible.

Mr. Trek. Hard to argue with that moniker!

I love it!

Seeeing the pool, I instantly had to think about Cetacean Ops. But I think this idea only formed in later years after the Whales were re-introduced into the seas of 2286 by Kirk and company in "The Voyage Home"...

Is the bottom of the pool angled so the deep-end is inboard and the shallow-end is outboard? Or is the entire surface of the pool angled and swimmers don’t notice because of the gravity plating?

In interesting element I'm incorporating into my own saucer section is a circular particle accelerator along the periphery similar to CERN's LHC for the High Energy Physics lab. Science is one of the primary missions for Starfleet.

shuttlecraft for sure. For some reason I always thought that the shuttle landing and take off would be the most exciting way to enter / exit the ship

Mike, this is absolutely amazing! You hit the nail on the head about the creativity aspect. If the blueprints don’t show it or the L Talisorium deck plans or the tech manual and or set plans, I say go for it Man, and thank you! David Kimble’s cutaway illlustrations are also great references. Again thanks for doing this! Crack on Sir.

Careful. CBS will hit you with a C&D if you make it too detailed. Great work!

Wonderful! Congratulations once again on this amazing project! I'm glad you welcome feedback! :-) I love that you're paying keen attention to the psychological needs of the crew, that is wonderful. I also like that you're putting recreation areas right in the heart of the ship rather than pushing it away down in the lowest decks - it makes these spaces seem more central and therefore more social. For these recreation areas, please don't forget to have LOTS of area where crew can just sit or lie down. Lots of seating. I like the pool idea, though I'm honestly not sure about its current location, because it quite "enclosed", almost claustrophobic, with nowhere to sit by the side of the pool, and no obvious way to even get inside there. With no "poolside" there's more risk of drowning. What if you're swimming and feel dizzy or unwell? You need to get to an edge, but with your design there are no edges. You'll also need changing rooms of course. I'd have changing 'areas' with walls but no ceilings. For a bit of fun, the ladies' area is slightly visible from certain places on Deck 7. LOL Personally, I prefer pools that are more open and have lots of space around them to mingle, therefore I would be more inclined to have a pool nearer the centre of the deck, either raised or sinking into the deck below. To me, the only reason to put a pool on the outside would be for the windows, but I don't believe there are windows on this deck. Another idea for deck 8 - you have a turbolift shaft cutting through the middle. Maybe the shaft on this deck could be transparent, to open up the space more? Another detail is that I think you should MAXIMISE the presence of the trees by making them as visible as possible on deck 7 - so walls should have windows so patients can see the tops of the trees. It would be nice to have a line of sight to these trees from far across that deck somehow. A few more ideas… I also think you should try to use the location of external windows as a guide to where to put recreation areas, because those windows are precious commodities and people want to look outside when they're relaxing. Oh and can you do me a favour and put SOME crew quarters in the rear top of the engineering section, decks 16-18? (Even if it's just 1 or 2 quarters.) The reason being that if I lived on the Enterprise I would like the option of "living" on that part of the ship. If I worked on the saucer section, it would feel like I had a little more space between home and work. Also, I really don't think the contents of the very bottom few decks should have anything that demands people be in there much. Psychologically, I like the idea of those lower few decks being mostly uninhabited. It just feels wrong for there to be lots of people down there. It's like a creepy dark cellar. And CERTAINLY no bowling alley at the bottom! My final suggestion (which is no doubt already on your to-do list) is that every incarnation of Trek has shown that crew ALWAYS want to play sports. So you need areas for sportss such as squash, table tennis, fencing, pool. Maybe even a bigger area for bigger sports? I'm sure you're already planning this anyway. Lee (in Devon)

Beautiful.

I love the multi-deck sections... It just makes sense.

I love the idea. Quick question; are you imagining that they brought in the trees nearly full size or that they grew them up in situ perhaps through selection of fast growing species?

Awesome

Beautiful!

You never cease to amaze me, Mr. Trek!😃👍🖖

I really thought you would give up. I can't believe you are still doing it. I too am blown away! Keep going.

You should.get a.laser pointer to help you when you do a tour presentation of your build. I would make it much easier to focus the audiences on specific areas without having to touch the model , or obscure the camera shot by reaching into frame.

Where is it going to be put? A museum or something

The conveyor belt for the injured crewman reminded me of Thunderbirds. :)

Great work as usual Mr Trek o/

Hello my friend. just thought I'd pass along a bit of "gravity wisdom", With "gravity plating" any surface you apply it to is now a floor. If you are on a turbo lift, and you tip the lift the occupants will not know it, because they are standing on the plating . this may help to overcome certain problems you may run into. Great work, keep going.

My one nitpick is that I don't see sickbay having its own dedicated transporter in this era. The 23rd century transporter seems to me to be a big, complex device. Having dedicated devices for specialty applications seems more like a 24th century innovation. Also, the show always depicted medical emergencies using the main transporter rooms. Other than that, I am liking your efforts and the thought process behind them.

I think youtube deleted my comment. So just wanted to say (again) this is amazing!

This is not THE Enterprise, I rather stick with Franz Joseph. As a concept, it is interesting though.

Amazing 🤯

I love the cutaway that connects the deck 8 trees to the medical center on 7. I think the rooms on deck 7 should have balconies that are open instead of windows so there could be recuperation rooms that opened up to exchange air with the trees.

Neat

This is a magnificent undertaking done with the care that only a true artist can produce. However, I do take issue with you calling it the interior of the original USS Enterprise, which it is not. Since there are no "official" blueprints, it would be more accurate (and truthful) to claim that this is your rendition of the way you would like the interior to be like.

Wow, just wow. I am an old treky and i just love what you are doing. It looks just like the 60’s ship design.

I see filming interior miniature, be nice if someone could take a tour via roaming mini cameras

Better than the series, Absolutely better.😉👍

That is beyond detailed. Someone should build a fullscale version of just that one deck. Call it Enterprise Deck X Park. Like the size of the Apple Park building.

This all starts as a model of the Enterprise (1 to 25) i believe you said. Why do i have a feeling in 5 years i will come back and see you building a 1:1/ lifesize model enterprise? Great job by the way!!!

Oh! Could there be a fencing strip in the recreation area? A "piste" I think it's called? You know--for Sulu?

Having built a few 1:1 scale enterprises in Minecraft I can say I think you're absolutely brilliant in what you're doing.

Bloody fantastic

What an astonishing job you are doing fleshing out the ship as it would need to be for long missions, which are what the Constitution class ships were designed for. Everything you are adding makes complete sense and I even face slap myself that these things never occurred to me. Just ONE huge favor. No bowling alley. That was such a 60s thing and has been over with for a very long time. Something else to think about. A compartment for phaser firing practice. Not the 3d hologram stuff in the D but an actual long target practice area with pop up friend and foe, just like a gun range today. These people were out there a long time and really need a practice range to keep their skills sharp.

I love it! Love the idea of connecting the Sick Bay to the running track: absolutely logical. The idea of crew art hung around the track is equally brilliant. Well done indeed! I might recommend some benches or a picnic table inside the park: if you're out running, the park area is going to be the most likely area for a rest. Also consider a locker room somewhere in the vicinity

The holodeck before the holodeck

This has been my dream since I was a kid back in the 70s. As an adult, I always wanted to build a Lego Mini Figure Scale model of of the Starship Enterprise with every room. I can't wait to see the finished product.
