[terri]

Woot! Love it!!!

 

[tirediron]

Cool!

 

[Overread]

Very very geek and neat!!

I think I've seen/heard of this recreation that was done (I've also heard of one or two people who converted their flats into similar structures). Must have been great to see such a detailed recreation (esp considering many of the original sets were simply broken up once the filming was done).

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

The attention to detail was remarkable. Down to every little button and switch and sound effects They wanted to experience what it was like to film the series, so they not only recreated what the set looked like, but they also made sure that the backs of the set remained faithful to what the original set would have looked like. They even used strings and pulleys for the "automatic" doors. Whenever possible, they used the same materials as the original used, though of course they had to adapt when certain materials weren't available anymore.

There were also items that were actually on the original set. The uniforms in the last photo were worn during filming. There is also a gold box that you can see behind William Shatner in the 3rd photo that was also used in the filming. The story is that Shatner gave it to someone, who willed it to her daughter, who then ended up selling it to the man who opened this recreated set/tour.

Shatner himself was there a couple of months ago, and they have periodic events with actors from the various other series.
