Notes
1. Colors are approximately correct hue.
These shades were chosen to give good contrast with other colors,
and look right to the eye, for this scale of model.
2. The model plans show some incorrect colors for these parts, or the colors
were taken from Season 1—see Note 6.
3. The original ship plan was for one level, 48 feet diameter.
This model is scaled 1:60, or 60 foot diameter, to allow the lower deck to fit in.
The floor radius was adjusted for the spreading effect of the larger diameter
deck.
4. Lower deck center hub appears to be about 5 feet diameter, and scaled 1:60,
yields 1 inch diameter. This coincides with the same diameter of the upper
deck pylon support.
5. Metallic Silver paint is thin, and ship midsection is at 45 degrees.
Use very light spray coats (5 or 6).
This will leave pigment spots, but smooth paint .
When dry, buff with a small rag with a few drops of thinner.
No sealer is required for this enamel paint
6. Season 1 was filmed in Black & White, so they used more silver, gray, and
white lights. The color trims were added in Seasons 2 and 3
7. In Season 3, the space pod was added, and this door was changed into an air
lock door. This door was silver-gray until early Season 2
