Red Dwarf

An original miniature section used in the production of the BBC science fiction comedy series Red Dwarf.

This cockpit section formed part of the large scale Blue Midget filming miniature built by Derek Meddings' Magic Camera Company for series II. Constructed in Meddings' signature style of heat formed plastic, with acrylic window sections, metal grill detailing to the nose with integral bulb, wired to light from behind and in working condition when attached to a battery. The piece is intricately detailed, hand painted and weathered with a dirtied down finish and even features a miniature tax disc to the main window section.

The large scale Blue Midget filming miniature was cannibalised by Mike Tucker and Alan Brennan with the majority of the model becoming the basis for the White Midget miniature used in the series VII episode Ouroboros, this represents a rare surviving part of the original miniature.

The section in in good production used condition with the top fairing removed  and the wing mirrors deliberately cut off for use on other miniatures. The cockpit measures approximately 7" x 6" x 5".

A displayable and recognisable spacecraft element from this popular series.
