    Adam Savage Goes Hands-On with Star Trek Enterprise Bridge Model!

    We welcome to the cave designer and illustrator Matt Cushman, the
    artist behind some of our favorite science fiction cutaway
    illustrations from Star Trek and Star Wars. Matt shares with Adam
    his new massive cross-section poster of the original USS Enterprise,
    sized as large as the original 11-foot filming model. We scrutinize
    the details of this incredible piece and learn all the ways Matt
    made sense of the interior layout based on what was shown in the
    original series episodes!

    Like many things, that moved around during the TV show and the movies. :-)

    Various references give Kirk's quarters as being on Deck 3, Deck 5, or
    Deck 12 (and probably others). Likely it was simply whatever suited the filming and script needs.

    I would love a cite that puts Kirk?s quarters anywhere but deck five on
    TOS.

    He had Kirk?s quarters on deck five, but he misplaced the entire deck.
    Instead of on the widest part of the saucer, where the outside wall would
    have that slant, and there would be a window he moved it up into the bump
    on the saucer where it couldn?t have either.

    The model kit cut away they made about the same time as his initial poster
    got it right.

    In TOS the Enterprise is not a constitution class ship. That?s a fan wank retcon. And the dates given are the retcon dates from TNG. And apparently
    their cabin placement is based on signs seen and not dialogue. They?ve
    randomly pulled the 12 out of a corridor sign and decided that?s the deck number with no apparent rationale.

    It makes a lot more sense than the ships in modern 'Trek, which
    are arcs and nacelles held togther by tractor beam and require
    the use of a transporter to go anywhere.
