He began building simple cardboard play pieces. Inspired by the clean wooden design of some of his other toys I set out to design and create a modular play set that he could use to assemble various rooms aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. I wanted a set that could break down and store easily.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After doing research I found some existing blue prints of the bridge. I scaled everything to match the size of the figures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42702\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42702\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016.jpg\" alt=\"BridgePlayset021016\" width=\"580\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016.jpg 580w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016-50x19.jpg 50w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016-150x58.jpg 150w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016-450x175.jpg 450w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BridgePlayset021016-50x19@2x.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And how did his son like the playset? &#8220;He has already asked how soon he will get the rest of the ship,&#8221; said Weisberg.<\/p>\n<p>The step-by-step instructions, and plenty of photos, can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/Star-Trek-Enterprise-Bridge-Playset\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Weisberg has created a fantastic Star Trek playset for his eight-year-old son.
