Replica Mike Kelt console at National Film & Sci Fi Museum

Whilst doing a little digging on a non-Doctor Who prop that's on display at the National Film & Sci-Fi Museum in Milton Keynes, I did come across this photo of them sporting a replica Mike Kelt TARDIS console.

It perturbs me a little to see replicas placed alongside screen-used props... But then, the Experience did that as well.  Not a bad replica, though missing a few key details.



Also featured are a K-9, a 2005-style Dalek, and the Moment:

I'm sure this is the showmasters replica that was made. But beyond some of the choices of controls and the overal finish, I don't have anything else to back that idea up.

You're spot on, there's even the same mark on the "screen" on the side with the pentagon:

Nice! I did wonder! Glad to know I'm right, for once.

Replica or not, that photo really captures how freakin' huge the consoles were--and how big the time rotor is.  It never really seems that big onscreen, but with that up-facing camera angle and Colin Baker on the far side you really get a sense of how big they are.
