Lou, I just can't tell how much I enjoyed this build. You really pulled it off well. The added little details just compliment the "set" look. What a great tribute to the actors and crew at the age of TV filming then. This was really a great idea and I hope you take it to Wonderfest.
If that is not a prizewinner at Wonderfest there is no justice. Getting it there in one piece may be a challenge! Excellent work Lou - a really unique build. 👏
It would be cool if you expanded the diorama by building out the old AMT bridge kit as a set and connect them by a hallway. On the bridge set instead of Star Trek figures you could have people working on the bridge set getting it ready for the next scene to film while the cast is busy on the shuttle set.
The backside of those parts isn't really set up in a way to do this without just cutting them all off and replacing them. These shuttle walls are nice and smooth.
@@aztekdummy How about just having all the wiring for the lighting of the bridge panels running out the back and draping over those parts. I assume back in the 60's that's what it probably would have looked like. Having a bunch of power cables and extension cords running around all over the place.
The finished kit looks fantastic Lou and it was great fun coming up with designs for each of the little stage fixtures. As a bonus I gained a new title from you and Phil, The 3D Doctor.
What comes to mind is coffee cups and ashtrays on the table. In the 60's, there was a lot of smoking and coffee drinking going on... Great build Lou! It was a nice change of subject matter from your other builds.
Hiya Lou. You could make one of the Twins the "Script Girl" and you forgot to add old tape markers on the floor for the actors to know where to stand for their cues. Also, you forgot to put a Red Light and "QUIET WHEN ON" sign on the outside of the walls. LoL This turned out to be a really great diorama. 😁👍
@@aztekdummy I figured that the two walls would be part of the building and ya see those red lights outside of the old movie stages turn on when filming was going on. And I meant the old tape markers on the concrete from years of the soundstage being used. 🙂
Amazing model/diorama. It came together in the and looks fantastic. Excellent job Lou.. wouldn't you consider some small hinges on the main roof section. Making it easier to line back up again when its lifted ?
An awesome physical build. I'm on a mission to build the entire original Enterprise and really appreciate this video. Love it that it's a physical model and not a computer program!
Mighty darn spectacular! But! Not so fast, Dalmaso-- you forgot a NO SMOKING sign on the walls. Really impressive work and a nice group of talents involved. Evocative and a great fantasy presentation. Very well done.
Eliot your homework assignment rewatch all the bridge scenes, I can't remember which episode, but in at least one, there is cigarette smoke drifting across the set, don't forget this was the 60s!
@@doctordetroit1217 If only I had some sort of computer I could just ask to show me any bridge scene that had cigarette smoke on it... But you're right, the 60s indeed. Still, the studio sound stages were all made out of wood and lived in fear of imminent conflagration. Still, actors are willful children, we all know that. Overlooking a gigantic, stenciled no smoking sign is an easy one!
@@doctordetroit1217 Next to that shiny apple is my report that, after asking my computer about that topic, I got one solid hit about the TOS show Journey to Babel. In which, Bones is bending over Sarek-- with a torso concealing medical box in view -- performing some sort of surgery. Smoke is visible to one side in the still frame I saw. Some discerning readers see this as plausible cauterization or cryogenic procedures. Occam tells me someone was smoking OR diffusers or gel color filters were getting too hot in the inkies just there.
I know you are now done, wouldn’t those walls have signs or some kinds of notices? Saying all that, this is magnificent. This really is an award winner! 👍👍👍👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏👏👏👏👏
This is an incredible idea. It shows that imagination can make any kit a show stopper. A version of the venerable Amy Bridge set, half assembled for filming with lighting & rigging etc with actors and crew standing with scripts, some out of costume etc would be awesome. The only change I’d suggest is to make at least 2 figures smoking on the set. There’s no way at least a few on set in 1967 wouldn’t had had a cigarette in 1967.
Great job on your star trek diorama I love it you are the king of modeling again great job 👍 👏 😀 I injoy watching you make the star trek diorama I injoy watching all your videos 📹 😀 😊 you have a wonderful and great day be safe
I really enjoyed following this build I just recently finished my build of the ILM studio with the Dykstraflex camera. I relate so much to the dilemma of wanting to keep adding details. Hopefully I’ll get to see this at Wonderfest.
The craft services table at the time was just donuts and a coffee urn. Alos, Mission: Impossible was shooting literally next door, in the next soundstage. Jus' sayin'...
how about a couple of twins from Harry Mudd's android planet? Maybe they're practicing sinchroniesed moving as androids (that's why they look and sit alike).
I was thinking that about the twin females as it wasn't uncommon for twins to be onset filming ( ok certain episodes where the main cast wasn't involved as some series would produce several episodes at once 🤔🤓)
@@aztekdummyI remember watching som episodes of Star Trek the cartoon series when i was akid set in the early 80,s mid80,s which was fantastic as they had all of the oridginal cast/voice actors onboard and everything
Maybe you could put a hinge on the far side of the set. still can be lifted up yet remain positioned to replace. Great creativity and fore thought. AND always great work.
Not my favorite build, but I appreciate the level of detail put into it. My only criticism is that maybe some weathering could have been done to the wood pieces. Looking forward to the next build Lou!
Here is another idea for a display in the Star Trek TOS theme - take one of the smaller Enterprise models as do a display that shows the filming of same!
I noticed something you left out that would have been on the walls of a soundstage--FIRE EXTINGUISHERS! They definitely would have been required by law!
10 years ago this would have taken a lot longer. No rapid prototyping, or 3D printing. All that stuff would have to be scratch built. My new printer is coming and I cannot wait to get started. Oh, phenominal build brother Lou
KRAZY Kool insaaaane! May as well make cables running all over the place! Little strips of gaffers tape stuck here and there! Actors marks on the floor in places! 😂
The best compliment I can give you is to say I wish I had thought of using the kit like that. My only question is would a lighting gantry be built on top of a set that way?
no it wouldn't . I say early on that since I wasn't building the ceiling to the stage, i had to make this compromise. it would have been suspended from the ceiling by overhead cables, but i had to do it this way
This is exceptionally well done!! I love it! I am trying to do something similar with a different show but I am having trouble finding any print files for the cameras, lighting, etc. Could you point me in the right direction so I can buy and download? I’d really appreciate it!! Thank you!
Forgive the perceived smart ass... Mr. Script guy comes over the video as being the color of the MCU "Jarvis" character. You know, the tall purple guy who knows everything. Maybe because he is bald. Don't know. Yet another masterpiece Lou. I'm googling the ink tribbles when I post this.
Hey Lou this was really a great model and Diorama. So...How about doing the same with the Main Bridge Set? I thing that would make to be a great Diorama also.
welll thare looks geat hint if liie have the tribels fuzay get some model train grass say deed grass and just PVA it on and have brown tribel or snow whit one tan you get it but up to you the hole thing grat you got bring to show had win some thing out all the shudels you came up with most new idear i think see as do new
Howdy, Lou-! STAR TREK, being a Union Show back then ... there'd be an IATSE SET BUILDERS STENCIL on the backside of each of the WALLS. As far as CRAFT SERVICE is concerned ... indeed, there'd also be a prodigious amount of snacks, drinks, etc., etc. I know this because I've been in this business of show for 49 years now and my work as a filmmaker is how I know the above. Hope that helps. D.A.

Great imagination! Who would have thought about turning a Star Trek model into a TV set. Well done Lou! Takes me back to the ‘70s.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes. Do this.

Hope you get an award for this effort, Lou!
That has turned out fantastic. Love the tiny publicity photos and scripts etc.
The finished kit looks fantastic Lou and it was great fun coming up with designs for each of the little stage fixtures. As a bonus I gained a new title from you and Phil, The 3D Doctor.
Dear Lou, Outstanding workmanship! I really enjoyed the journey through the build & tutorial - Thank you. Best Wishes Johnny
What a great build Lou! So creative and awesome!
Nice nod to the TAS episode: "More Tribbles, More Troubles"!
Outstanding work always look forward to seeing your work and nice to see the finished model you out did your self again with this one .
Lou, if you don’t stop you’re going to end up doing the car park! Brilliant imagination.
THE DESILU STUDIO PLAYSET........STAR TREK ADDITION or THE MODEL KIT IDEA THAT ATE UNCLE LOU......
The back of the set walls would have had Desilu written on them so when they went back to the scene dock they could be identified!
What comes to mind is coffee cups and ashtrays on the table. In the 60's, there was a lot of smoking and coffee drinking going on... Great build Lou! It was a nice change of subject matter from your other builds.
Wonderful! Awesome! Fantastic! Actually I quite like it!
One of your best Lou, and a pleasure to watch.
What can one say, Lou? You’re not only the Sci Fi Guy, you’re Reality Man! What a great concept.
Truly unique build & your story telling was very entertaining. Really enjoyed watching this build. 👌
loved this at wonderfest ! so nice to watch you film the entire build ! thanks .
Hiya Lou. You could make one of the Twins the "Script Girl" and you forgot to add old tape markers on the floor for the actors to know where to stand for their cues.
Also, you forgot to put a Red Light and "QUIET WHEN ON" sign on the outside of the walls. LoL
This turned out to be a really great diorama. 😁👍
the chairs would be the markers. the outside wouldn't be part of the set, so there would be no marks there.

Great work sir love all the scratch built stuff
Really great work Lou! You're more creative than a Star Fleet captain caught between a rock and a Gorn.

👍👍👍👍👍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
👏👏👏👏👏
You know, now you have to do the Dezi-Lou studio bridge set. Lol
This is an incredible idea. It shows that imagination can make any kit a show stopper.

Watching your moving the chairs and such around, reminds me if the opening scenes from a Canadian Kids show from the 60’s - “The Friendly Giant”!
You can never have too many idea Lou! LOL
This turned out so cool and I absolutely love what you did with it! Nice work as always!
Great job on your star trek diorama I love it you are the king of modeling again great job 👍 👏 😀 I injoy watching you make the star trek diorama I injoy watching all your videos 📹 😀 😊 you have a wonderful and great day be safe

Outstanding! What a cool idea.
Amazing work sirrrr. Really enjoyed this build. Thank you for sharing.👍♥️

Your an awesome, modeler.
Simply BRILLIANT! Lou
Don't forget fire extinguishers! ALWAYS ON SETS!
I should have thought of that. Perhaps they are juuuuust out of sight.
@@aztekdummy you missed a stage left chance there 🤣( off where you didn't construct )
Is that one of the seven stages of grief?
@@aztekdummy yep I learned that from looney tunes 🤣
Lou. You should do the same thing and do a studio setup using the bridge kit....great work
Fantastic execution of a wonderfully creative idea!
Pink tribbles were from the animated series, correct?
winner, winner, tribble dinner!
@@aztekdummyI remember watching som episodes of Star Trek the cartoon series when i was akid set in the early 80,s mid80,s which was fantastic as they had all of the oridginal cast/voice actors onboard and everything
Brilliant job as usual, but what a fantastic idea making a film set, ingenious!
Amazing!

Not my favorite build, but I appreciate the level of detail put into it. My only criticism is that maybe some weathering could have been done to the wood pieces. Looking forward to the next build Lou!
I did weather some of the wood, but it's very subtle.
C-Stands!! dozens of C-Stands should be tucked everywhere!
Wow I just had a flash .. poseable figure to scale with stop action 🤓. Spies from the other set checking on how they do scences and sneak a cameo 🤣🤣🤣
This was an awesome build!
Nice animated tribbles.. 😉
Best one yet. Love it ❤
The tribbles were pink in the animated series, of course. "More tribbles, more troubles."
WOW! 🫨
Here is another idea for a display in the Star Trek TOS theme - take one of the smaller Enterprise models as do a display that shows the filming of same!
I'd stick a "High voltage" sign on the switch box given that its grey color gives it the look of an actual breaker box that would be on a film set.
Looking great
Lou, I enjoyed this build immensely.
Thanks!
You’ll have to make some miniature clapboards and some either Desi, Lu or Paramount labels for the equipment
Great build, you've truly out done yourself.
Paint one of the twins blond, and she’d look like Judy Robinson.
Small scale Enterprise star ship off to the side for its exterior shots.
I noticed something you left out that would have been on the walls of a soundstage--FIRE EXTINGUISHERS! They definitely would have been required by law!
Sooo cool❤
I really enjoyed this build. Nice thinking out of the box. Just wonder if you should have put the actors names on the back of their chairs.
Consider hinging that ceiling, perhaps with a small strut to hold it in a raised position, when showing the interior.
perfect set up
10 years ago this would have taken a lot longer. No rapid prototyping, or 3D printing. All that stuff would have to be scratch built. My new printer is coming and I cannot wait to get started.
Oh, phenominal build brother Lou
KRAZY Kool insaaaane! May as well make cables running all over the place! Little strips of gaffers tape stuck here and there! Actors marks on the floor in places! 😂

Tape a miniature of out scene on the cover of the front window so on the inside it looks as though they are lookout
Well that answered my question from Part 3 (where is Gene?)
This is exceptionally well done!! I love it! I am trying to do something similar with a different show but I am having trouble finding any print files for the cameras, lighting, etc. Could you point me in the right direction so I can buy and download? I’d really appreciate it!! Thank you!
I had the generous help of Jeff Fink to make those files for me (camera and Light) I found the scaffolding and people online
Why do I feel like I am 11 years old again! Ha! 🤗
Very nice work!

You forgot an actor ... "the giant" going thru a scene.
Just another detail, don’t the sets exteriors and equipment have numbers and stencils that say “property of …”?
Hey Lou this was really a great model and Diorama. So...How about doing the same with the Main Bridge Set? I thing that would make to be a great Diorama also.
Use poster putty to hold people in chairs!
Need to add someone in alien makeup.
Someone did the top half of the Galileo 7 monster... so they could show him in the makeup chair with the monster pants flung over a chair!
Lou, are you going to do the entire shuttle with the interior and lighted up??
Too late now. But you might have old tape crosses of the floor. For actors to hit their marks.
Not on this floor. The only "live" part of this set is the interior of the shuttlecraft and the seats would be the "marks".
welll thare looks geat hint if liie have the tribels fuzay get some model train grass say deed grass and just PVA it on and have brown tribel or snow whit one tan you get it but up to you the hole thing grat you got bring to show had win some thing out all the shudels you came up with most new idear i think see as do new

Hey I thought this was a Shuttlecraft build and instead it is a sound stage swing and miss strike three you are out and the game is over
First?
