Star Trek TOS Enterprise Engine Room 

I can’t stop coming back and looking at this, the transporter room and engine room were always my fave TOS locations, yeah weird I know. I just noticed the great compromise on the pushboards, btw, lovely. I was immediately obsessed with all the colourful backlit screens and pretty ‘computer’ lights in Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who and Buck Rogers et al as a kid, to the point I used to make my own. Cannibalised car parts and Christmas lights mostly. BIG chunky rocker switches and clicky toggles, light up push-buttons, whatever the scrap yard provided. I would play with my creations for hours pretending I was doing important stuff in-universe, as did my friends. And now diligent and clever people are making incredibly detailed digital simulations of the pretend future-tech that we made out of fairy lights pushed through hand-drilled holes in wooden boxes, using the very tech we were pretending we had our hands on at the time, oh the irony, but I’m so massively impressed and pleased! The type 7 computers are my favourite thing here, btw, their large displays genuinely look like there are bi-metal flashing bulbs behind multi-coloured plastic sheets, now THAT’S TOS tech! Oh the nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

Imagine if they'd deconstructed the sets and then reconstructed them in a warehouse out by Vasquez Rocks. That could have been a _Star Trek_ theme park!

No warp engine drive shaft in your way , just work space and clean stations. The re fit was too crowded and dangerous looking compared to this.This feels like home.

Eric Reinholt I thought I was sounding crazy for similar sentiments when I described it to my sister-and opted for an historical perspective in my comment above, but totally, “like coming home” - with a touch of sadness.

It looks more believable than that JJ verse nonsense.

That dilithium wafer that pops up reminds me of a 1970's. No pest strip.

Not for 50 years

That was in the Season 1 version of the set. Those widgets never appeared in the Season 2/3 version of the set, which is depicted here.

I agree, Season One is TOS at its best! I want to do a S1 version of the engine room sometime in the future, however. A lot more empty, but it's got its charm!

@@DVersiga1984 Yeah, the S1 version is best remembered as being spacey for when Kirk got into fights.

Usually if I can get away with making separate meshes and animating them with simple code via blueprints I do that. However, more advanced animations (like the bridge helm scanner) were done by making the animations in 3ds Max

@@DVersiga1984 thx for taking the time to answer

I'll second that, the Warp core. I need to get close enough to the antimatter flow that it feels like ants crawling all over me.

Some episodes we see it with the cover on it, some episodes we don't. We never see the panel actually being removed. I just added a bit of interactivity to it to honor both appearances.

@@DVersiga1984 Excellent idea! Yes, we don't see the panel being removed, but I think there's one episode where we see Scott actually touching or removing those green and silver cylinders. Do you know which episode was that? (or is my mind playing tricks after watching too much of your videos?)

Murilo Ribeiro I don’t recall a scene like that but I could be wrong!

Unfortunately, no, due to some of the fan film guidelines and employment with an officially licensed Star Trek product

John Tminustwentyminutes Mercier I’ve heard them called “power converter units” from some sources but there’s nothing in canon that describes their use.
