The would-have-been Season 27 console?

Looking at it, and judging by the size of the clear 'donut' shaped part of the column, which is a Body Shop soap dish from the late 80s, the roundels through the door look about the right size and pattern to be the top of a tin can...

Wow. Hopefully they weren't thinking of just having a physical console for the actors, and then using green screen (chromakey) to put a model of a console room around the actors. (They tried that with 'The Starlost', and it didn't really look right. Something always felt off.)

They could certainly manage something like that with todays tech, but back in 1989? I don't think so.

Dino.

*If* they'd made a season 27 and beyond, I don't think we'd have got anything like this model at full scale, tbh. The actual artwork (which this model is based on) was made for DWM years later, on a purely hypothetical basis. Keeping in mind, they'd binned the original set by season 26 and budgets being miniscule... I'd be intrigued to see what genuinely could have been built with those limitations.

Pretty sure I remember reading somewhere, possibly in another issue of DWM, that the roundels were made out of those plastic lids you get on poster tubes.
