Finished the screen display for the side wall. I wanted to go with the Defiant-style one rather than the Starbase 375 one, but my god was this thing a pain to do in comparison. Just like the original prop this isn't an illuminated display, but just a silk-screened graphic (like the doorbells).

@BolianAdmiral: Thanks! Those sconces are exactly 4 feet according to some blueprints I have access to.
Been having some busy weeks but I finally had some time today to put the finishing touches on the ready room. I sculpted the details on the sofa, finished the desktop monitor, did the Defiant-style coffee carafe, and created a Starfleet Academy diploma for our good Captain. Plus I added some PADDs all over, as ever they're great for set dressing.

@Brandenberg: It's mostly based on the early TNG diplomas, but with some elements borrowed of later designs. Trek was never inconsistent on how these looked, so I made my own take rather than being faithful to one specific style, imagining that they must change them every couple of years. The frame, I just reused one that was era-appropriate and I already had made, which coincidentally, like @BolianAdmiral said, was used for a similar diploma in Voyager.
@evil_genius_180: I mean, it all fits insofar as it was all used on DS9 for the Defiant sets. I do see what you mean though, those rooms more than any other hero ship sets have very inconsistent style.
Here are the finished images! The cutaway ended up being more complicated than it usually is, I wanted to showcase the windows but I also wanted the screen, in the end the screen won.

It's true. Then you don't want to look at guest ships. Talk about inconsistent! As I said, it was a small nitpick anyway, your work is always great.
@Brandenberg: The work that went into that ship model was paying for it on CG Trader. For non-Trek specific props, I'm happy with buying models to make rooms more varied now that I have the disposable income.
Last month I was approached by Eric Campbell from The Streampunks to once again help them create interiors for their latest RPG campaign starship, like I had done back in 2020 with the USS Ross bridge. While I'm no longer doing commissions, I volunteered my free time to help out as I do quite enjoy their campaigns.
This time the setting is an old ship, the refit Excelsior-class USS Pride, last of its class by 2382 which is when the campaign (appropriately titled The Last Excelsior) takes place. The ship's last refit would've been during the Dominion War, and after said war was over the Pride was placed on the Reserve Fleet. Because of this, I went with a basic DS9-style for the interiors, though not as advanced as the Defiant or even the Lakota. Lots of ship-of-the-week black tape squares all over! I'm very happy with how this turned out, I was able to combine the old with the new in a way that works I think.
And here's the MSD, very heavily based on the one from the USS Righteous in 'Star Trek: Borg'. This was by far the piece that took the most time, and while it's not the most detailed of MSDs, I'm quite happy with it:

The bridge looks great. I like the color scheme and I'm definitely getting ship of the week vibes.
Though, I wouldn't want to be a senior officer on that ship. That area that's labeled as senior officers' quarters on the MSD is tiny, half the height of the other decks.

Hey any chance you can update some of the other bridges you did like the ones you did for me (Dreadnought, NCC-71956 Constellation, and Lexington-B with the updated lighting? Or does that count as a commission (and I know you're NOT doing those!)
Beautiful bridge my friend. I could definitely see this on DS9 as a ship of the week. Would love to see a retro or modernized version of a Constitution-class bridge with your design flare of course! 🖖🏾
Yeah, I'm digging this... nice middle ground between the movie era and the TNG era. Reminds me a little of the Defiant for some reason, maybe the feeling of close quarters and low ceiling.
I absolutely love this mix of different eras! I remember that we discussed ideas for the Lakota bridge in this topic a while ago. This version is very close!
@Rekkert Man, I love how you successfully transposed the look of the Defiant bridge onto something bigger!
Years ago, I dabbled in something similar, though with the Runabout's color scheme and not nearly as professional.

Outstanding stuff as usual @Rekkert
