Hmm.. I used the 2x3 Rocket chair, as I call it, for my starship bridge. (I
really need to post pictures of it sometime!) I have not yet made the
captains chair different than the other two chairs, for the first officer
and the other. It is like the Enterprise D. The Enterpirse-E bridge is
really weird, however. It doesn't look like many Ensigns will be able to fly
over the consoles. : (

Real nice design.

My First officers and Captain's also have computers sort of like this, with
that 1x4 piece to swing out so they can access it.

This is an awesome chair, I might have to build one now! : )
Very nice designs, Lindsay. Sigh, I guess I will have to finish my bridge
and build a ship for it as well. : )
