Make it so: How three guys got most of the Enterprise-D bridge:

The original bridge the show filmed on was destroyed, but three Trekkies want to restore a discarded official replica.

Three Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) fans are on a mission to restore a "fully functional" official replica of the Enterprise-D bridge. The group calls itself "The New Starship," and it's set to launch an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign on Wednesday. TNS seeks $175,000 to bring the bridge to life—complete with a viewscreen, the captain's chair, and even operational touchscreen computers.
As most Trekkies will remember, the original bridge used in the filming of TNG was actually destroyed during the filming of Star Trek: Generations, where the Enterprise crash-lands onto the surface of Veridian III. Following the conclusion of the show and the related films, three replicas were made with construction overseen by the show's set designers, Herman Zimmerman and Michael Okuda.
This bridge, currently in pieces, is one of those replicas built for Star Trek: The Experience, a theme-park in Las Vegas that was closed in 2008 after a 10-year run. SEE Global Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based company behind the Experience, did not respond to requests for comment.
