    Can anyone answer the age old mystery of why all Trek fan film production teams can't ever seem to make uniforms that actually fit the actors? Or why in the name of Roddenberry do they use actors who are far too out of shape to be in any military anywhere, any time who apparently don't know how to use a razor? :p

    Congrats though Eric. This was probably one of the better fan film efforts out there.

  • Enterprise [TOS] Deck Plans - Perhaps the most detailed ever produced...

    Part of the issue too is he's assuming uniform dimensions for each deck.

    Deck 24, especially, doesn't need to be a full height deck at all, nor do a couple of the decks on the connecting dorsal. That reduced deck height spread out over the remaining decks along with his scale/length miscalculation gives plenty of room to make it work.

    The other issue is recognizing the little known production fact that, with few exceptions such as the transporter pad, TOS sets did not have ceilings. That was a production cost savings measure and if you really pay attention when watching the show, where a ceiling would be is always slightly out of frame. Therefore one really can't use something like the image above to justify a standard deck height as you have to dismiss production limitations out of the equation and go with more sound "hypothetical engineering."

    For the image above, you just have to "assume" the compartment's overhead is just an inch or two above the top of the door alcove. Had they made ceilings for the sets, that's about where it would be.

    Basing deck height off images of TOS sets is really the most widely mistaken assumption by artists who have attempted to justify the TOS interiors against the outboard design of the Enterprise to make deck plans. It's why it never works out.

    Hey, all...

    So, I've decided to do a full rewatch of all the "Prime" universe Trek TV shows and movies. I've decided to start with Star Trek: Voyager. Below, is my review and thoughts on the pilot episode, "Caretaker". Enjoy!


    STAR TREK: VOYAGER - "CARETAKER"

    snip -

    As of the ship's departure from DS9, the Voyager has a crew compliment of 141, and her deck count is established as 15 decks. I love the Mess Hall food replicator wall, and wonder why they got rid of it for Neelix's kitchen, when they easily could have had both at the same time. IMO, dismantling those replicators is a waste of resources.

    Actually, the space Neelix took over for his kitchen was the Captain's private dining room just to nitpick.

    How's this guys? Look any better? I added flood lights to the lighting scaffolds, re-modeled the main dock panel lights and re-rendered.
