I have it on DVD, and found that really, with the exception of the Robin Hood stuff, it's help up surprisingly well.I loved this show back when it aired, but I haven't seen it since. Nice to see it getting some love.
I like idealized props myself. If I can't own the actual one that was used on screen by the actors.....then I would rather have all the nicks, dings, warts and wierd angles gone! That's just me.
I would so love to get one of these in the next few months!
I could see it now, one of the final scenes in our Doctor Who film is the Doctor seeing it behind a rock or something, picking it up and saying, "What was Phinneas doing here?" stick it in his pocket and walk off.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a rivet at the top holding the indicator in place? View attachment 270767
Wow! This project is coming along nicely. When you're ready to discuss electronics, I wanted to suggest bright lights and loud sound effects. Heck, maybe even adding the sound effect that happens after Bogg pushes the Omni button to disappear. Voyagers! What a fantastic tv show. Keep up the great work.
Right now the lid closes flush with the body.Hey Rob I just wanna run it by you real quick about the 2nd version of the omni that your working on with the lid and the indicator . First I was wondering without any modifications does the lid close most of the way like in the episode "Barriers of Sounds" when bog opens and closes it at the table it doesn't close all the way but most of the way. Would it be like that without modifications to the lid?
I was studying the font on the omni and discovered it is styled after a real font. Old English Text MT
It looks pretty close to the original. If I can find one that is better Ill change it.
What do you think though?

The screenshot shows me two important things.
First, the artwork is pointilized as opposed to engraved or painted.
Second, the dome lid has a hand beaten and hand finished, polished surface. It could have been sculpted and painted as there is a fleck or two of gray paint. But it's that ruggedness that makes it scream "old world artifact". So... Something to think about.
