400 TINY chairs for my insane STARSHIP ENTERPRISE model! 

People that give negative comments usually don't create much themselves, I really like your project!

Andrew and Doug, and other materials contributors are fine examples of the Star Trek family. And the rest of us fully appreciate their contributions!

Andrew from Toronto... We all thank you!!!

to anyone complaining. lets see yours

those chairs are amazing! Nice gifts Andrew!!

I must say. All of it. Everything you've done, Amazing work. And hats off to the individual who did the excellent 3d printing for you.

That's amazing! I feel like using a Sharpie or a black paint pen on those chairs might be a little easier than trying to paint them by brush. Either way, this layout looks amazing and makes me wish we saw these areas in the show!

I don’t follow many RU-vidrs but your dream is so ambitious, your passion and energy so infectious. This is some of the best reality TV I’ve ever seen! I love Trek and model making, I am rooting for you sir!

You need to put a "Wall of Honor" posted within the Enterprise featuring the names of all material contributors!

Decentralized computer core is a smart idea 👍

The park and running track feel a lot like the vibe they were going with for Phase II, so you can always say this is the Enterprise in a later refit in the last two years of that five year mission, when things like the computer core had been relocated.

Franz Joseph was just a fan who decided to create Enterprise blueprints. Any other fan's take on the interior is just as valid.

Man this guy deserves to be on the Star Trek devolpment team

I've said it before and I'll say it again: your recreation is a work of art and a service to all of us trekkies. Pay no attention to nay-sayers. It's very easy to criticize , but not as easy to actually build something. In regards to the bodies of water I think it would be reasonable to assume that if the ship's tilt went beyond a point at which the water would start to spill, a containing force field would be deployed, up until things returned to normal.

Great update. Absolutely love the items from Mr. Toronto. Way to go!!!

Thank you Andrew! An amazing contribution to the project!

I love the idea of the decentralised computer core, it’s such a nice idea and the park looks much nicer.

I love that you give thought to the third dimension with your ship! Most plans only lay out rooms as though every single area fits into a single "cake layer" of the ship, but this interior "Central Park" area is exactly what I'd need for some recreation on a five-year mission. I do hope there are plans to include a wet bar!

Always fascinated by miniature work. 👍👍

You are living a dream for thousands of us. No number of thanks could ever be enough for us to say to you!

Wow! What an amazingly generous contribution by Andrew! I really like your concept of splitting up the computer core, to avoid all of them being taken out by one torpedo, or phaser blast. Very cool! I live those chairs, and shuttles! Thanks for sharing this with us! :)

I'm still am advocate of having huge power transfer infrastructure for the phasers and torpedoes below, but I think this is absolutely beautiful. You've really used the tapered 3d space to great advantage. I personally always thought that the huge computer core was mainly storage of data the size of which we can't comprehend nowadays. Either way, your work is astounding and you have my support whatever design decisions you make!

The molded chairs are absolutely appropriate to the time. We've seen similar set furniture on another sci-fi television series, SPACE: 1999.

We've never seen some of these areas on the show. It can look however you can imagine. Plus, the changes make sense in a real world setting. At the end of the day, it's your model and your vision. I've been following this for almost a year now and I love it.👍🖖

All of those 3D prints are fantastic. You've been saying from the beginning that this is an original model, and though you've mentioned the Franz Joseph plans a few times, you're only taking inspiration from them, not building them. That's what makes me look forward to these new vids so much - every week I see some new part of the Enterprise that I haven't seen before. I can clearly see that the FJ plans have had some influence, but most of the model is completely original, and I really enjoy seeing these fresh takes on the various areas of the ship that were never seen on screen.

I love this interpretation of the orginal 1701. I love the idea part of the ship is setup is like a cruise ship for the crew to keep morale up during its 5 year mission in deep space.

the idea of distributing the computer core makes perfect sense. People asking about the pool, they have had porpoise pools on the ship did they not? Wish I was there to help you paint the chairs! So jealous.

Thank you Doug! An amazing contribution to the project!

As an AFOL, I can appreciate the love of building…. This however will end up in a museum one day… amazing!

Just one thing. Don’t make a Tribble!!! You know damn well what’ll happen!!!! 🤣

Absolutely fantastic little chairs! And monitors! And shuttles!

I find this incredibly fascinating. As a young 20 something I had the idea of a 1:1 balsa wood model based on the FASA deck plans you clearly have. Then college and career rose it's ugly head. According to Canon there were originally 12 ships of the line; 13 if you go by the decals in the AMT model. Now, your plans are for the Lady E. Given the number of ships, there is no reason to think the Star Fleet Corp of Engineers didn't experiment with alternative internal deck designs in order to maximize space and or eliminate monotony due to crew transfers. Remember, per Canon these ships were constructed at several different planetary shipyards. Evidently I've put considerable thought into this over the last 50 odd years. Yes, I'm odd and embrace it. 😉 Also, I wish we were on the same side of the big pond. I've been developing painting skills over the last year and a half w/ 6mm Battletech universe and GHQ military miniatures ( like your Bacus minis ). I would like to be able to assist painting your furnishings in this endeavor. But alas, geography. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES IN YOUR QUEST.

This is wild. Loving living the life of a Modeler Vicariously through you.

I have really enjoyed everything you have built so far in 1/100th scale. I can't wait to see it all in 1/25th scale!

Wow, what a great gift ! Such a nice gesture . 👍

How marvelous to have folks printing items for you to scale! I think the choices you've made are completely valid. I do have a suggestion to try: use a sponge, cut to the proper shape, to "stamp" the paint on your seat cushions to make them easier to paint, and more consistent. That should also make painting so many miniatures go a lot faster. So proud of what youve gotten done so far. Adding the chairs (and tables!) adds so much to the set dressing (so do those computer terminals!). Always impressed to see ehat youve been up to!

I love everything you are doing.

Watching this puts a smile on my face. I wish I had the time and extra money to build something.

put a small computer in the fountain & you have a super-fast watercooled speed machine!

An idea occurred: perhaps, to save time, the black cushions on the tiny Burke chairs could be done with black stickers rather than paint? There are various places online that let you design your own stickers--shape, color, everything. You could at least do the seats and everything but the edge-spine of the backs this way, and then just have to paint the spines. Just an idea.

Would love to see a TMP era build like this; we've all seen TOS and TNG interiors, but very little TMP.

Right on! That's cool as hell. I had no idea that 3D printing was as such a state as to be able to give such detail, at such sizes. More awesomenesses!

I was one of those people who said the computer core should be there but I also said your take is nicer. I'm looking forward to seeing the 1/25 scale model done.

Good day my friend. Love what you are doing. This is a fine example of "outside the box thinking". Indeed, the original concept is wide open to improvements and modernization if you will. What you are doing improving the concept, giving it "real life" rationale, purpose and meaning is what makes the difference and what gives your vision the "human" touch that was implied in the series but never shown. Also, a great appreciation and gratitude to Doug and Andrew for their selfless contribution to this magnanimous endeavor. Keep up your great and outstanding work, my friend --your passion and dedication is what makes "the difference" !!

Wow! 🫡

Amazing!!! What a gift of the chairs, screens and shuttles! You’re doing an amazing job! Keep up the good work!

Excellent work, excellent update, as always. Andrew and Doug are rockstars! I really appreciated the fast and dirty 2D diagram showing exactly where on the ship these areas are located; I encourage you to do that in the future as the build progresses to keep us oriented. Very exciting!

I was actually a proponent of the emergency sucking of water into tanks, but what you say makes sense. With artificial gravity, down is always going to be down. Also, this is the late 22nd century where matter can be manipulated easily. In an extreme emergency, the water can always be divided into its basic hydrogen and oxygen molecules and blown out into space. Or stored for later reuse.

Wow!

Glorious build and kudos to the guy who is printing those chairs! I love the progress so far!

The chairs, Computers and the Shuttles are GOLD. Maybe later he might be able to print some of those items at the 1:25 scale. But even if he doesn't (or can't due to technical limitations) this is an awesome contribution!

OMG you are amazing man 👏🏻

This is so cool!

Amazing project! Very inspiring. I totally agree with your logic and decision regarding the central computing area and how it is now parsed out concentrically near the jogging track. Computer processing and storage has certainly improved leaps and bounds from 60 years ago and the requirements are miniaturized by comparison! Sidenote: I still have TWO Polar Lights 1/350 scale models in their boxes waiting to be built. Plus a light kit. I just need someone like this to build these with me or for me.

You are doing a fantastic job with this! Can´t wait to see the final version.

I love your skills and ambition. This has been so fun to watch come together and i cant wait to see your full final model.

Love this build, as always! Wondering if hemostat instruments would be useful for firmly holding the chairs or computer monitors while you’re painting them?

details are just amazing

You could always use a black sharpie to do the chairs. It might not be as good as paint, but it's easier to control an would be close enough.

WOW!!! It looks great! I can't even imagine how amazing the 1/25th scale model will be when it's finished.😁😁😁

Looks fantastic to me. Keep up the good work and take no notice of the haters. They need to get a life and wish they could do what you are doing. Well done love every bit of it...

I love this! Trek sets need more greenery. Up the solar punk vibes! Its a key part of an optimistic vision of the future. Any plans for a hydroponic farm?

I love it! I'm glad you've thought about the Franz Joseph plans, even if (quite understandably) you've decided to make it your own way instead.

Just Ignore the haters and complainers. Great work!

Just incredible mate.

the star trek technical manual would help a whole lot with this , I had once since I was a kid and sold it in the early 00's , it's probably a collectors item now.

I step in from time to time to see what you have done. And I think you have done a wonderful job at peaking in to the future and what may have been. I look forward to seeing what have in store for us. On a side note. Your model building skills are crazy. Building an entire starship at such a small scale is nuts. Kudos to you for being able to keep track of such detail on such a dynamic environment.

The big concern with massive amounts of water in space is if it does escape from the pool and gravity generators have failed, there's bubbles (or one big bubble) of water floating around the ship. That's looking great, looking forward to seeing it in 1/25th scale. ;-) Call your friends for a "painting" party and share the finger cramps? ;-D

One way to make painting the chairs (etc) easier is to add handles. I've got some that are basically crocodile clips on top of skewers. The clips might be a bit bitey for the 3D prints, but maybe blue tack or a something more mechanical will hold them steady enough. Then as you paint each one, you stab the handle through some scrap card or insulation and leave it to dry.

Absolutely fantastic! And Panton fits perfectly.

I love it.

Yes, yes, I agree with the start of the sentiments expressed regarding "Well..? Can you do better, have you even tried‽" but people are allowed to make observations. It's a free galaxy you know. I too am dumbstruck by the dedication here and love the passion shown. I just hope against hope that you have a sitting room sized recreation of the bridge so that you can sit in the captain's chair and watch the episodes on the laser display screen.* More power to your elbow. *I'm not a Trekkie so I don't know its name, sorry!

I love this!!!

I love what you're doing with the 'unseen' areas of the ship. The park area is awesome.

This is fantastic. Love your updates. Are you building the 1:100 first and then you'll work on the 1:25 or are you building both at the same time?

In regards to people complaining and criticizing: it never ceases to amaze me how little imagination even Star Trek fans show. Especially in our much more higher-tech age of today than the 1960s. 1) Yes, the giant computer core can almost certainly be done away with. It's safe to assume it would be much smaller and/or distributed throughout the ship, the same way the human brain has redundancies and distributed connections. I'm not sure I'd have used the resultant space for a giant "central park" like this, but this is your design, not mine. I respect that. And it IS a damn good idea. 2) I get why people think water would slosh around, because we're used to seeing the crew get tossed around by explosions etc. But come on. These people (in TOS' time) have power over matter and energy. They'd easily have ways of securing fluids and atmosphere. Force fields, walls/ceilings that morph into existence... whatever. 3) Which brings us to another point, not directly made in your video... but it strikes me, in seeing the 3D-printed chairs AND shuttlecraft... if we can do that now for these little toys... what the hell might THEY be able to accomplish in their time? For instance, the arguments about where shuttlecraft would be stored in the ship, and how they only have room for so many. (Which is not something, as I say, that comes up in this video, but has been talked about by many). Ummm... again, these are people with power over matter and energy. Is it not possible that they can replicate/3D print whole shuttlecraft, given time? Maybe the only limitation they have is how much raw material they can carry around with them in storage. (One assumes they'd have to start with SOME kind of raw matter). Maybe each ship only has a couple of shuttlecraft that are pre-made, but with the capacity to make more in short order. Maybe in losing the first Galileo, for instance, it was easy enough for them to "print" another... maybe it might take a little extra time as it's a complex vessel with an engine system of some kind. But not the big deal WE think it is. We know it was possible for them to manufacture more hand phasers when needed ("Day of the Dove") but that it took a little time as a phaser, is, of course, much more complicated than, say, a cheeseburger or a chair. But anyway, bottom line is, we don't give enough credit to this replication technology of Star Trek's (even if later shows made the canon error of suggesting that there were no replicators per se in TOS' time. Okay, maybe it wasn't the same "replicator" technology, which may be even more handwavy than we imagine. Maybe in TOS' time, it was just a highly advanced 3D printing from raw matter -- which does match some established elements from TOS---how did those food synthesizers work, for instance? If that wasn't the same as a "replicator" from TNG's time, then what was it? I think just a slightly more primitive form of "replication.") We, as fans and creators, need to open up our minds a bit more to what the people of Star Trek's various eras are capable of. Yes, keep the science grounded as much as possible. But guard against being narrow-minded and limited as well.

I love your work, keep up!!

Only just found your channel and I'm amazed at the quality of your work. Will definitely be following along now.

Franz Joseph decided that the Star Trek Technical manual would be "technically and scientifically correct". Franz himself has stated that his intention in drawing the plans was to elucidate the ship's design rather than to accurately depict exactly what viewers saw on their television screens. As a result, there are multiple minor discrepancies between Franz's plans and the filming miniatures that were used in the show, all of which are intentional, and made in the interest of establishing greater continuity. This approach was chosen due to the fact that Star Trek contains elements that were never seen on-screen, and the fact that even on-screen information is often contradictory.

Great job, the computer systems would definitely be redundant and distributed throught out the ship.

Clearly the need is there for living spaces like this for a five year mission. In the day and age of Star Trek TOS they will have the technology and means to create such spaces. Superior imagination, creativity and modeling skills.

The science in Star Trek is truly wonderful. It inspires many people to pursue research and think of ways to make it a reality. Artificial gravity, specifically through grav-plates, is essential and would significantly change the game for living in space and traveling among the stars. I believe that conquering gravity should be a priority before developing warp drives. One may directly lead to the other. Keep up the great work - I love your enthusiasm and your aspirations. Thank you for sharing, as always.

I could easily live here for five years - no problem!

Your work and dedication to detail is an inspiration. Use the bingo chips as they are don't paint them.

At 1:100 scale its already impresive, 1:25 is going to be mind boggling.

the idea of changing areas of the ship doesn't mean those replaced areas go away, and you also have to keep enough room for crew cabins! I found that to be a good argument for keeping changes to a minimum... unless the crew never sleeps lol!!!!!!

My only concerns were how these sections fit together and how will it support the weight. I can see it being displayed in a 'expanded view' with each and every floor exposed to show your hard work.

W-O-W!!! 😮

Awsome, don't, stop. Ì love, it. That was neat, on his, part.

This is an incredible project! I do have one question though. Maybe you've addressed this in a previous video, but if so, I either don't remember, or I didn't see it. I presume the final goal is to build the entire ship, so that you will have one gigantic Enterprise model with a full interior. If that's the case, how will you view the interior? I mean, once you put one deck on top of another, you can no longer see the lower deck.

Excellent!!!

Even with large size of Central Park, there are many spaces where the main computer could be. There's no need to be only in one single place. As you said, security reason, if one server is down, there are many others to supply data processing.

So awesome, what a wonderful gift to the project!

Why not make it a water cooled central computer? that way it could be stored below the fountain...Just a thought. Love your vision for this!

this is masterpiece.thank you

👍👍

Build the computer bank organically into the garden.

This is becomming epic

For what it's worth, I prefer your design.

i do like what you've done on this deck. unfortunately i think you forgot something . the reason for sonic showers is water conservation. the pool, fountains, and saunas would be considered a waste of a very limited resource. all that being said i still like it.
