I guess they are inspired by the bunks on the Defiant than.

Actually, it's circular inspiration. The Defiant's bunk beds are loosely based on real-life US Naval bunks, and my bunk design is based on an approved design presented to the US Navy years ago and implemented in the USS Somerset, but with a touch of Starfleet (added round corners, service panels, drawers, etc). I researched the functionality of this design, with the upward sweep at the head of the bed to allow for crew to sit up, and in turn, have a small shelf with lighting which I felt made sense for crew to relax more in their bunk, as space can be at a premium onboard a ship (in either time period). I still have some refinements to do, but I believe this design is sound.

It's ok, plenty of trek around for all these days

It's been a while, a long while actually. A lot has happened in my private life, and being caught up in it as such, I'd been lax in my hobby. A recent conversation with another member got me thinking and what I'd been kicking around of late, so I'll leave you with these couple of renders. I've been slimming down the scope of my work to smaller things...works out better that way.

So I've been busy re-working the common corridors. I've changed some things up a bit, left some things the same as before. My next step is to develop sections for creating curved corridors, and then get back into the room spaces.
