I built a Lego Enterprise-D bridge diorama and viewscreen for my Star Trek minifigures - and instructions are available now!

I was lucky enough to get the Lego Enterprise-D set for Christmas, and decided that I needed to design somewhere for the minifigures to be displayed. Picard deserves to sit down! I posted my Enterprise-D bridge diorama and viewscreen builds a few weeks ago, and lots of people requested the instructions. I've been working away on them, and I'm happy to report that both are now available here:
MOC-256838 - Star Trek TNG Enterprise-D Bridge Diorama
MOC-257015 - Star Trek TNG Enterprise-D Viewscreen
The bridge diorama recreates the iconic set from Star Trek: The Next Generation entirely in bricks, from the curved wooden console behind the command chairs to the LCARS computer displays. You can also optionally add in the plaque and logo stickers from the Enterprise set.
The viewscreen is designed as a modular companion piece to the diorama which can be attached or displayed alongside or separately. To give the Enterprise crew something to look at, it includes a customisable starfield box and more than a dozen microscale ships, space lifeforms, and scenery elements, from Borg cubes and Romulan Birds of Prey to mysterious Crystalline Entities and even Deep Space Nine!
But the viewscreen is not just a window onto space - it's the Enterprise's primary means of communicating with all the friendly or hostile beings they encounter across the final frontier. With this in mind, I've also included some of the most famous aliens and other callers from the series as 2D tile art panels which can be clipped into the viewscreen. Lego Picard needs to deliver those stirring speeches to somebody, after all.
I hope you enjoy these MOCs - all comments, feedback, and shares are very welcome. Temba, his arms wide!

No treaty, no vaccine, and no Lieutenant Yar!

Not in this version, but I did include her in my original digital build of the set! This built version just includes all the actual minifigs from the Enterprise set, where she unfortunately wasn't included.

When Lego announced the Star Trek licensing, these type of sets were what I was expecting- please tell me they’re not just release $300 full ships…

He is a good cat, and a pretty cat.

This is totally the set I would have wanted. Much easier to display than the whole Enterprise.
Capt_Vindaloo@reddit
Awesome

Can you please screenshot this and submit it with your resume to Lego's website?
MenapianAFOL@reddit (OP)
Ha, thanks! That would be quite a dream job.

Nice! What’s the good thing on the wall above Spot?

I did two mini-builds of the ship to represent the diagram readouts on the screen in that position on the bridge. But they do also look a bit like the golden models in the conference room, so they could really stand in for either!
Apologies, this subreddit doesn't allow galleries or I would have posted multiple pictures.

You should totally send this to Lego Ideas. It's brilliant
Alolan_Cubone@reddit
He can't, they already made a star trek licensed set. Hell, they JUST did it. We're apparently getting something like this with ToS soon anyway

This is amazing. You're amazing.
