Refit Garden Windows

Post by galaxy_jason »

I posted this in the Trek forum but thought the technique might be good for other types of lighting...

Thanks to Gunstar's analysis of the garden ceiling in the refit I think I have a pretty good reproduction.

From TMP screen caps I created a ceiling and printed it out on photo paper, lit the garden with two white LED's and back lit the "sky" with two blue ones.

After 2 months of sitting, waiting, in a little box the garden has been installed. Here is the ceiling and a compare shot to TMP...

Here is the port side view. Note the final pearl/non-pearl finish on the hull. Pearl as in TMP, with a light ILM "L" shaped weathering over it....

Finally the bay is finished, except I need to build a shuttle and add the little bumps for the phasers. NOTE, the starboard side door is not warped, some kind of weird shadow...
