I built
Captain Kirk's chair back in '92 after reading the Star Trek Technical
Manual. I built the chair in 1:1 scale for two reasons:
A) Because it would be cool to have it in my living room, and...
B) Just to see if I could do it.
The main material in the chair was 3/4" plywood with counter top
covering. The drum-shape under the chair was metal. I had
planned on lighting the consoles but never did. I took the chair to some
local shows and conventions and it was always big hit. After a few years
though the chair started to show its age and use, so when I moved to Montreal, the chair was
scrapped. I kept any parts that I could re-use to rebuild one,
but haven't done so yet.
