[MOC] Star Trek: The Next Generation Working Transporter Room

[Menapian]

Here's my latest Star Trek: The Next Generation build - a recreation of the Enterprise-D transporter room with a Technic mechanism that allows you to assemble your away team on the transporter plate, then spin a lever to watch them dematerialize and disappear. You can also spin the lever counter-clockwise to reverse the process and beam them back up!

Instructions are available now on Rebrickable. The set is 1,146 pieces and should cost just over $100/€100 to assemble, depending on location, availability, postage etc.

The MOC also recreates the rest of the Enterprise-D transporter room, from the main door and the green girder walls to Chief Miles O'Brien's transporter console. I've used a General Tagge minifig head with some Medium Nougat coiled hair to make a minifig version of the hardest-working engineer in Starfleet. Finally, the elevated front panel of the transporter room includes a recreation of the iconic LCARS computer graphics from the transporter console, so you can tap at them and supply your own 'bleep-bloop' sound effects while you transport your crew.

Since getting the Enterprise-D set for Christmas, I've been working on lots of playscale builds to give the minifigs something to do, including a bridge diorama and a viewscreen with microscale ships, both of which are also available on Rebrickable. I'm still working on more Star Trek builds, so watch this space! Thanks for looking.

Haha, I can only use a quote here from Arthur C. Clarke:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Nice functional MOC it is! also I like the little details like the LCARS details of the bottom!

Thanks, I appreciate it! I went back and forth on whether or not to include the LCARS detailing as it adds a decent amount to the piece count, but I think it definitely elevates the display value enough to make it worth it.

For me it does! I also spotted it only late and was suprised for me missing on that wonderful detail - so I think every ST fan may appreciate it like I did :)

Thanks! I experimented with a few ways of showing the dematerialize effect, including side-on tiles and all-white minifigs with white bars around them. But in the end, the floating stars just felt like the most fun and authentically 'Lego' way to do it.

Great design and execution. You've nailed the details perfectly. The LCARS base is icing on this cake.

I totally agree, the floating stras are the genius part of the teleportation effect!

Brilliant work. It's always a treat to have a build that has both the looks and the functionality!

Thanks everyone, you're very kind! I'm working on a few more Trek and non-Trek builds and will be sure to post them on here when they're ready.
