Remember a while back I was working on a horde of Voyager interiors? Well one of the shortfalls of those early sets was that none of them were really accurate to their "real" counterparts...the quarters set was the worst, since the room was way too wide and the corridor outside reflected it (and aside from that, the room didn't curve and neither did the corridor, they were both straight and that made other things look wrong). This time, I'm going through and trying to find floorplans where possible (does anyone have a good one for the bridge? I saw part of Paramount's official blueprints once, just the part covering the briefing room, but I could never find a full Deck 1 layout). This will have the dual benefits of avoiding scale issues and also making the various sets "compatible" (i.e. in the case of my captain's quarters set, all I have to do is merge in the corridor outside, and it's plug and play because they were built off the same deck plan and positioned relative to each other).
The first two as I've said are my captain's quarters and residential corridor sets; next on the list is the briefing room, followed by the ready room (all of these are meant to go with my ISS Voyager exterior so in places the lighting is going to be a bit different, closer to "Author Author" or the alternate version we saw in "Living Witness"). Check out the first two and see what you think (these also by the way reflect my practice of color-sampling directly from episode screencaps, 99% of which were generously provided by TrekCore.Com). Have a look at the first two and see what you think! (More views of the quarters interior coming soon)
Do not adjust your monitors, that IS in fact the monitor from Picard's quarters in the middle; that IS in fact the antique TV from Tom's quarters by the door; that IS a 21st-century HDTV on the right wall (with a Price is Right DVD and a Super Mario Brothers NES cartridge in front of it); that IS an enlarged night-use golf ball on the table; and most importantly, that IS a gold model of the 1701-E in the foreground. I'm cheating with the lighting in the bedroom portion--I haven't finished that part yet so that's deliberately dark. I'm still working on it though!
The main thing I like about this set is that all the textures on the wall padding are the same, but the ends of the corridor get lightened up a little by subtly changing the color of the light to make it look a little more inviting and a little less foreboding. I'm still toying with this to make it look a little more militaristic for the ISS Voyager, but this one's the version that's accurate to the show.
