for the bridge I tried to add a bunch of detail to each section, though none were ever truly featured in the story. Here is the tech station where Chase Alexander keeps all the robots working, and tools up new parts for the ship when needed.
Those "Voice" ornament chairs I used for each station, with some mods. One thing I was able to do was add magnets to the base of each, and magnets beneath the floor, so each will stay in place and swivel.
The Nav station, ran primarily by the multi skilled alien assassin Vox Caeda:
I included both computer nav equipment and some old school printed star charts
The duct work at this station is an old PC fan
The engineering station (primary engines) is also on the bridge where Da Vinci works. Yet to be added is the faster than light engine room.
This is in the pilot's pit, in front of the command chair, behind the pilot stations. The big beastie thing in the middle is the brains on the computer system. In reality, it was a part of the sculpt of the frame that I just worked around.
which reminds me, the bridge also is a piece of packing material. This one styrofoam, salvaged from who knows what by my mother in law. The most distinctive part of it was this pit, which I knew I had to utilize.
Here it is with some parts laid about, and really only having been painted black.
The command chair
The blue wall pieces are recycled pill boxes I kept for a long time thinking they might be of use, but not knowing what for.
a WIP shot, but I added a lot of LEDs as well
Some lounge pieces (made from recycled toddler food containers), which will be added to a later section
at this stage it was almost entirely in my head
Pillboxes for scale
And a quick look again at the final product:
