[Al Barrett]

Hi,I'm new here and I'd like to show my work to mego fans,I intend to release
a series of "Star Trek: Mego episodes" on YOU TUBE.Here is a link to my first
clip of the bridge.This is a test,the project is still not ready but should start
sometime next year.

That's neat.

What material did you use to make the bridge out of ?

[Meule]

Pretty cool. I watched the rest of the ship's tour as well, looks like you've been busy: engineering, sickbay, recreations room, ... But I didn't see a transporter platform, that still coming?

Your rendition of the bridge looks great. Lots of detail. That is what I like. I have dreamed about doing a custom bridge now for some time. However, I just cannot get in the right frame of mind nor make the energy to do so. Plus I have way too many other open projects in my Mego laboratory so to speak. Now that you have went were not many customizers have gone before this just makes me want to put my dream off even farther down the line. Nice job on your custom bridge. I like your videos to. Keep up the great work!

Material

Hi,I'll try to answer your question;The walls are made of "styrofoam" and the
rest is cardboard except for desk-like instruments made of plastic and then
painted in black except for some spots with different colors where lights are
gonna be added.I'll film it as soon as it'll be completed.Everything was painted
over foam and cardboard.The ramps(red)are also made of foam.

Yes,as stated in the short clips(videos)part 1&2,there's part 3 coming later this year.You see,the transporter room will be totally lighted and "kinda fonctional" So you're right,it's still coming and will go with a lighted version of the bridge.The only thing left is the elevator again,with the appropriate lights that'll give the illusion of movement as in ST TOS.
That promess to be the hardest part of all...

Thanks,remember one thing however,from the beginning to the end of this project it took me more than a year to assembled.Painstickingly adding bits
and pieces and not counting the hours...it pays in the long run.After that I might consider to do customs and sell'em if anyone's interested?...

FANTASTIC. . . great job. . .can't wait to see more of this!

Thanks,I have to add something here,this aint a "replica" of the actual Star Trek Enterprise,instead of a round shape bridge,I went for a square(it was easier that way)If I did this is mainly because I love mego figures but also it's because I tried to built one in the 70's when I was a kid with no sucsess;this is a kinda revenge
So there's gonna be more of this,for sure.A fully lighted bridge with transporter room and elevator for part 3,final before episode 1 next year...

great work...congrats....I too will be eagerly awaiting new "episodes"

[SUP-Ronin]

Looking great. Keep at it. I like that you made that round thing Spock was always staring into. What was that supposed to be anyway and how come he never let anyone else look in it???

Thanks,it's appreciated,the enthousiasm of the members is contagious,GREAT!
I am working on the engine room floor at the moment,after that I'll work on the last piece:the elevator.So upcoming is the "light tests" for the whole bridge and transporter room,then the elevator and full enginering.

I'll have to write the senario for the first "episode" that'll involve Klingons and
Romulans...
As for the crew,I hope that EMCE toys will release Sulu and Chekov in time for
the shooting

When Spock isn't on the bridge,I saw Chekov starin' at that blue light thing...
when completed,he'll be able to stare at it and I'll manege to get a blue light
on his face like the real gizmo.I've just finished the lights for the elevator...so
the "whole" ship would be ready except that I need one more set of lights and
I'll have to wait around Christmas to get it.Need a couple of more light bulbs
'cause those I've got don't flash and they have to in order for the "transporter
room" to operate.Then I'll do some light tests that I'll post on YOU TUBE.THEN
the project will be completed.Next year,the first "Star Trek Mego episode"

Toilet

looks great,,add a " toilet" in another room just to be different from the 500 other bridges made.

I always felt that the captain seat would be great for that...a bit crowded somehow...
