This diagram would be 85 x 60 cm if printed.

I acquired this back in 1987. As a kid I would occasionally write to John Nathan-Turner who was kind enough to respond. This time he forwarded my request to designer Paul Trerise who then sent me photocopies of the plans. Pity he didn't send me the Rani's beautiful console design as well.

Parts of the design are missing due to Mr. Trerise not copying every section from the large sheet onto smaller pages. I have not cleaned anything up, but I will produce a clean drawing shortly.

I also have the designs for the walls and the set layout. I'll add those soon.

Thanks for this!  A terrific bit of reference info.

THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!

This is superb!

And you have the walls/ setplans? :D

THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!

:D  

EDIT: One interesting point on the plans is that it appears it was supposed to have a pitched roof... Am I reading that correctly? I don't think that ended up on the final piece anyway... Also the colour... Iron Grey and Silver? Its definitely blue...  Its funny how the plans and end result have their differences. :)

Thanks again :)

In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Links have been updated on this long neglected thread. It's time to revisit this.

Did you rescan or was it just for your domain name change?

No new scan or additional retouching - just moved to my current domain. The scans had been on a free Flickr account, but that limited the size. These are full res now.

Cool :)

Thanks for doing that and slightly OT (for this particular thread) - I'm really looking forward to seeing your plans for the RANI console :)
