Re: Just came into possession of an awesome 1701-D cutaway (pics warni
Funny story, I have this as well. My parents got it YEARS ago at a party they were at. One of the women at the party (I have NO clue how the topic came up) said she had this and really wanted to sell it. It turns out this person was the ex-girlfriend of the airbrush artist, Gary Richardson (I live in the same area as him it would seem).
So my parents gladly took this off her hands for their trekkie son, and it's even signed!
That's right.
"To Marilan, Love Gary".
I'm a dude named Mark.
Kinda funny, though. Still hangs over my bed.

I have two of these. One I bought when I was a teenager and is in... poor condition cosidering the 15-some year age of it. The other I bought off E-Bay in better condition a few months ago that I want to get mounted and framed for better display.

We maybe got to see a tenth of the 1,012 crew members on board the Enterprise-D in the series.
Wasn't it Mike Okuda or Rick Sternbach that said we also only got to see a tenth of the ship itself, that there was a lot more unseen because of budget and time?

Just from looking at the poster, I'd be surprised if we saw that much...

Very cool and just sheer luck that you were able to get this.

GREAT story. You've got a cool set of parental units too.

This brings up a very interesting question; how many rooms did the Enterprise not use very often? Battle bridge for one...

Did we ever actually see the Arboretum? If so, that one was certainly not commonly seen.

I have this poster. You will not be disappointed. The stiff material holds up well and shows almost no fading. Mine is at least 15 years old.

So my girlfriend tends to keep an eye on what's available on FreeCycle here in town (an online community where people give away stuff they don't want) and she comes up with some gems on occasion. Today was such an occasion, as I came home from work to find a massive, framed cutaway poster of the D sitting on our couch. And I mean massive, this thing is probably about a metre wide, if not more.
It was drawn by Christopher Cushman, who—as far as I can tell—did at least a couple of licensed Enterprise posters back in the early 90s. This one seems to date to the show's fifth season.
Anyway, here are a few pictures (I hope 1024x798 is okay, you can't see much detail in Flickr's next smallest size):

Wonderful post happy to answer any questions about the Enterprise D… Happy to sign your poster as well! Christopher
Hey @Christopher Cushman! Welcome to the Trek BBS! I’m a big fan of your work. Incidentally, I just hung one of your legendary cutaway posters this week (the “Terek Nor” [sic] one).
Would love to see you share some of your work here on the board. I know you‘ve been more active recently on Twitter, but would be cool to see some of your process posted here too. Feel free to start a new dedicated thread for that, if you‘re so inclined. It‘s not the end of the world, but resurrecting old, long dead threads is frowned upon here. I‘m not the moderator of this specific TNG subforum, but I just wanted to let you know.

Hello! I think recently you posted pics of your original version prior to Michael Okuda's suggested changes on either Facebook or Twitter, but the pics weren't high enough quality to make out the details. I'd love to see a high resolution photo of your original version if it's at all possible.
Your cutaways were a part of my childhood.

You’re lucky. That’s gorgeous.
