Those helm/ops consoles need to be rotated about 30-40? upwards, but it looks decent nonetheless.

Make the chairs lean back a bit, too :P.

Looks very nice! Would be a nice bridge for the new Gagarin.

Also, what program are you using?

It's style might be TOS-esque... but it's layout looks very similar to that of the Galaxy Class bridge.

Will be interesting to see what comes of this bridge when you get further along.

added the consoles around the edge. Also made the bridge bigger since with the consoles in place in scale there was no room to walk around the upper deck

Theres something very appealing about making bridges. I want to make my own custom Century class bridge.

I like the idea of this though, I look forward to seeing more!

appealing perhaps...  time consuming, annoying, arduous, painstaking - those are other adjectives for getting a bridge from start to fully functional ingame...  lol

added some textures. The Lcars I've borrowed from the Enterprise B bridge. Has anyone got any TNG ones I can use?

What about...

Fun, learning experience, team effort, amusement, rewarding? Difficult, yes... yet also rewarding in the end.

That's looking great, Baz.

Edit: A lot of those edges could use some chamfering, though, IMO, and some stuff could be smoothed. :] Still fantastic.

Trust me man, it's a lot more fun making your own Lcars. You learn a whole bunch of tricks that streamline the progress and don't have to rely on someone else to make them.

done some smoothing, I might have a look at lcars but they won't be canon but my own style

Somehow, the ceiling feels a bit "low". Perhaps if you could make the walls a bit higher would make the bridge look a lot less cramped in.

Agreed, that ceiling only really looks about 7 feet high.

I actually quite like it. Gives it a bit of immediacy.

..although the dome might be an issue for tall races...
