Set blueprint exchange

Latest:

TOS turbolift set from Trials and Tribbleations with visible dimensions:

Klingon Bridge from DS9, starting with Sons of Mogh:

While they're not the same blueprints i had originally showing the Bridge redress as the mess hall and Martok's quarters, if you look at the right hand section, where that thick line is between the two doors top and bottom of the bridge, a wild wall would go there. Left side with the corridor would be redressed as the mess hall, the viewscreen side would be Martok's quarters with the corridor redressed as the "training room".
 
It's a long shot, but since Worf's arc is featured as well, has anyone come across plans for major custom-made set pieces like free-standing TMP consoles (engineering, transporter room, ...), the TMP/TNG sickbay biobeds or the TNG bridge chairs?
 
A similar setup was used in TNG's The Perfect Mate for Kamala's room, as well as VOY's Counterpoint. Other than that, the half-octagon-ish room was barely used which is strange seeing as how they went to all the trouble of building it (not to mention wrapping the corridor around it). Perhaps it was mostly use to store lighting equipment, costumes etc?
 
I've managed to catch up with the thread and added the images so far to flickr albums. I really like the Jenolan set - its an episode that I have fond memories of.

A few additional images:

Voyager Transporter Room
There was one area of this set that doesn't appear in any screenshots I can find - it just doesn't seem to get used / filmed. When voyager was in its last season, they made quicktime vr maps of the sets so you could look around in low res.

As formats tend to change over time, newer versions of quicktime stopped working with older quicktme vr files. So I dug out my old xp laptop and downloaded the first xp version of quicktime (so that it was contemporary with the files).

So I took several screen shots of the transporter room vr to get as much detail of the unused area and the rest of the room.

A very low res collection - click "view all sizes" to get the full size

An odd thing I found out - in "Star Trek Voyager: A vision of the future" by Stephen Edward Poe, the Fresnel lens discs in the top of the the transporter were apparently the same ones used as pads in the original enterprise. I find it strange how they would have been kept, although I suppose they simply went into prop storage/resources.
 
The two sets for that show are to get the most out of the investment.
While one group is halfway through the tour, the other one starts and this way you get to send twice as many paying customers on the tour in the same time or are able to isolate one set of rooms for special occasions or maintenance without losing the complete revenue stream.
Sending two groups on the same course would risk the two groups meeting each other and could destroy the immersion, hence why some rooms are doubled and it's just a matter of the guide sending people through the left or right entrance when they venture from the common starting point.
 
Hi Red General, the E-E set plans were found a few pages back. The corridors, deflector dish and everything.

I've always been curious about how they would have known they were the same lenses; surely there were hundreds of these on hand at Desilu and later Paramount. But the lenses were first used in the ceiling on the TNG transporter, which was then carried over for VOY. Although a recent viewing of Roddenberry's introduction for the first VHS release of "The Cage" — filmed on the movie sets — shows similar Fresnel lenses were in the ceiling of the TMP transporter room, but normally hidden by large translucent cover discs. So who knows how long they'd been part of those sets.
 
I wondered that too - perhaps they simply meant the same size discs? One lens of that type is probably indistinguishable from another, and did a single one of the six not get broken over the years?
 
lennier1 - that makes more sense - two bridges for two tour groups

Count - I went back and grabbed a few I missed and uploaded them, but I couldn't see the deflector dish (could you put a link again - thanks)

cardinal biggles - I didn't know the TMP one had Fresnels under the translucent covers. It may be that Steven Poe meant the TMP refit transporter as the "original enterprise" rather than the enterprise of the original series.

A while back Count provided a large image of the blueprint for the Voyager Turbolift (https://www.flickr.com/photos/99878876@N02/15359090790/). I've gone through it and figured out all the faded numbers and written them on top along with redraws of the dimension lines (https://www.flickr.com/photos/99878876@N02/15758142490/). It's a large image so press "view all sizes".
 
Poe isn't the first person to have mentioned this. Unfortunately my various Trek books are in storage, but I know I'd seen this fact referenced elsewhere besides Poe's Voyager book. And the direct implication was that the Fresnels hanging over Stewart's and Frakes' heads were the same exact ones Shatner and Nimoy had stood on twenty years earlier.
 
no new blueprints today. However, upon watching TNG's eye of the beholder today, I noticed something very familiar. The nacelle control tube, with it's matte painting section removed and the Jefferies tube door replaced with a corridor... is in fact the non warp-core part of Voyager's engineering. Same consoles (exact same LCARS), same ribbed walls and same pillars, just repainted black instead of the grey they were.

So I suppose you could extrapolate the nacelle tube from some of the voyager set plans.
 
Well spotted! I just looked through the screencaps at Trekcore and the similarities are really quite obvious. The only structural difference I can see is that the angled wall on EOTB's lower level was removed (opening up the space). The upper level walkway is virtually unchanged.

These screencaps make the point quite well, and here's VOY Engineering.

It certainly seems the the new series saved themselves quite a few bucks with this nifty piece of repurposing!
 
Speaking of repurposing, Voyager's sets get a whole new facet once you realize that the pattern strips all over the place actually come from the leach line for a septic tank:

That is a nice set of plans Count - I've uploaded the Cardassian Freighter set plans to the flickr group in a new album called "Star Trek - Cardassian Set Plans"

I managed to find a few new Ent-E engineering set plans from First Contact

https://www.flickr.com/photos/99878876@N02/15876033310/ - This was listed as Engineering Door

These images are of a blueprint for one of the engineering walls with borg alcoves stuck on. The pictures are large enough to read measurements for the wall and components (but no dims for the alcoves)

On a side note, I am currently working on drawing up a set of plans for a borg alcove
