Came across a light fixture (on Etsy of all places) that I really love in the context of this desk lamp, though it won't be in the full scene I'm creating here:
Here's the first test render of the beginnings of the actual set:
I have hazy memories of seeing The Undiscovered Country in theaters and recognizing this lamp as a real lamp you could buy at the time. Can anyone verify?

That's about the cheapest I've seen it. It's seriously tempted to snag that, but I'd rather save the money toward a new laptop (I'd like to get one of the newest MBPs with 32GB of RAM).
Beautiful! Could very much be a picture of the set.
Have you identified the chair model being used? I've been trying to do that myself for my USS Victory conference room, to no avail.
For all my finished Trek fan art, please visit my portfolio

Thanks. I tried and failed, eventually gave up. My guess is it was one of those that was so ubiquitous in offices that no one gave a fuck what it was. I ended up just building it based on the photos from that scene using another office chair as a general size reference.
There's something very weird going on with my carpet material (it shouldn't be dark on vertical surfaces like that) but other than that and some minor details, this is nearly finished:
Incidentally, yesterday was the anniversary of the original intended release date for the movie. Not sure why, but it ended up coming out a week earlier, ultimately, but there was at least one poster design printed with the original date, IIRC.
I remember getting into a big argument with my step-mother over going to see this. It was 'PG-13' and that might be a little 'adult'. A) I was fourteen at the time (three months from 15) and IT'S STAR TREK. The non-Tarantino variety even. Which are also the points my Dad made to her before he gave me 15 bucks and drove me to the theater for the Saturday night showing.
LOL, nice. My mother _hates_ Star Trek ("with a passion", as she said around that time), but still took me to see that one because I'd gotten second place in my school's geography bee (first place prize actually was two tickets to the movie). Her dislike certainly had nothing to do with perceived violence - she took us kids to see Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction in the theater at the time for Christ's sake. You must be just a bit older than me, I'd turned thirteen a few weeks before ST6 came out.

And the real life lamp is cool, but wow that was expensive.
I also recreated that once.
Thanks. I'd love to see your take on it.
Now mostly just some cleanup and one buffet table (with its cups and coffee pots) remaining.
