not unlike Enterprise-A's bridge. Is the bridge going to be a full size
bridge like E's or smaller, like Reliant's?

I'm very curious to see what you have come up with. Making a minifig scale
ship is a major undertaking (and one I thought of for a short time)and will
be a large commitment of time and um...money!!
But it is possible to build. What are you going to use for reference? And do
you plan to make the ship able to open in sections? And do you plan to make
the saucer able to separate?
I wish I could see your floor plans...this sounds like a great project to
work on!
