I don’t want to overwhelm this place with it, but there’s a taste below, and the link to the full thing too. Some of you may like it! Cheers, Andrew https://x.com/andreworton/status/1842224560764047697?s=46&t=fhoBiJb9tQ3zlLGiEuYEZQ October 6, 2024 at 5:48 pm #298787 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant This is really well done. Not only the details in the sets but you seemed to have nailed the layouts too October 6, 2024 at 5:55 pm #298788 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Fucking hell, Andrew Orton! As I live and breathe! I wish I’d known you were here too lol, I’ve been a fan of your work on YouTube since probably 2012. And as ever, your set recreations are on top form. What a treat! October 6, 2024 at 6:01 pm #298789 solidbronzeParticipant Thank you both! I don’t post regularly, but thought this might be of interest! It’s the culmination of some years’ work… October 6, 2024 at 6:05 pm #298790 JonsmadParticipant *Series October 6, 2024 at 7:20 pm #298791 DaveParticipant These look excellent. Great job. Out of interest, do we know where other rooms used in Series 1 were situated (like the cinema set)? October 6, 2024 at 7:47 pm #298792 solidbronzeParticipant They were pre-records which would likely have taken the space occupied the following day by the audience seating. October 6, 2024 at 8:21 pm #298795 DaveParticipant Ah, OK – that makes sense. October 6, 2024 at 8:33 pm #298796 Dax101Participant These are great. Id love to see more of these for the other series! October 6, 2024 at 9:07 pm #298798 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant *Series October 7, 2024 at 12:31 am #298799 Renegade RobParticipant Seriously though, very very well done. Amazing work. October 7, 2024 at 6:37 am #298802 WarbodogParticipant Amazing, makes it easier to imagine being there. You’ve obviously paid more attention to this, but the Drive Room vending machine in Waiting for God looks more like it’s jutting out into the room in the episode, giving the impression of a freestanding unit that Lister’s moved there (even if I realise now it’s really inline with the wall piece and they probably just moved that). October 7, 2024 at 9:24 am #298807 Ian SymesKeymaster Cor. October 7, 2024 at 11:54 am #298810 International DebrisParticipant Oh yes, another Twitter follower here, hello! Unfortunately you’ve replaced Lister’s acoustic guitar with with looks like a Gibson SG…? So I refuse to even give these a second glance. Really, though, superb work – look forward to whatever comes along next, the WIPs have piqued my excitement already! October 7, 2024 at 12:06 pm #298811 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant October 7, 2024 at 12:16 pm #298812 solidbronzeParticipant Cheers, everyone! @warbodog: Some of the walls were moveable and it’s possible the vending machine was a little more out. It’s difficult to be entirely accurate… @International Debris: I couldn’t find a good guitar model and I couldn’t be bothered to make one! Obviously the whole thing is rendered worthless. :) October 7, 2024 at 2:02 pm #298813 UnrumbleParticipant October 7, 2024 at 2:50 pm #298814 DaveParticipant I love the detail that Holly’s face doesn’t appear until Waiting For God. October 7, 2024 at 3:10 pm #298815 Ben SaundersParticipant even the fucking guitar is grey. great work! i love this October 7, 2024 at 4:10 pm #298816 DaveParticipant I’ll be honest, based on the Blu-Ray transfer my memory of the guitar is that it looked more like this. October 7, 2024 at 6:22 pm #298817 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant October 7, 2024 at 7:52 pm #298818 Dax101Participant This is the guitar here https://ukm.propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/299/lot/81035 October 7, 2024 at 8:20 pm #298820 DaveParticipant Ha! This is an actual unedited smegadrive image that is almost as bad. October 7, 2024 at 8:26 pm #298821 FormicaParticipant Hell, what even is there to say? “I wish you’d included the toilet?” Well, then, I wish you’d included the toilet. October 7, 2024 at 8:36 pm #298822 solidbronzeParticipant Thank you! I think I did actually build the toilet but it’s hidden :) As to the Blu-rays, I was instrumental in getting disc reissues for the mis-transferred episodes, but sadly I didn’t think to pursue the contrast issues… October 10, 2024 at 10:21 am #298897 DibbleySmegHeadParticipant Amazing work. What software did you use for these Andrew? October 10, 2024 at 1:01 pm #298906 solidbronzeParticipant Blender and obsessive tedium :) October 12, 2024 at 8:42 pm #298947 solidbronzeParticipant If you’re interested, I’ve also been doing some p̵o̵i̵n̵t̵l̵e̵s̵s̵ vital work on Red Dwarf I’s corridor signage: https://x.com/andreworton/status/1844773812082024478 October 12, 2024 at 9:27 pm #298948 DaveParticipant I presume the signage discrepancy at the beginning of The End is to do with the mismatch between stuff taken from the original shoot for the episode and the stuff shot during the extensive later reshoots? October 12, 2024 at 11:31 pm #298949 International DebrisParticipant I think the real question is: what is the point in John Hoare any more when this kind of thing exists elsewhere? October 13, 2024 at 1:16 pm #298961 solidbronzeParticipant John is a friend and valued colleague! The discrepacy in The End is not a result of re-shoots: neither version of the remainder of the corridor scene uses the same sign as the opening shot. I think they just swapped signs during the original recording. Dona diStefano keeping her eyes open, I reckon. October 13, 2024 at 8:08 pm #298963 MoonlightParticipant Maybe she couldn’t see past the brim of that hat. October 17, 2024 at 2:02 pm #299038 Paul MullerParticipant Brilliant work Andrew! Nice to meet someone else who also enjoys painstakingly recreating details of Red Dwarf in 3D that were almost certainly knocked out in a 5 minute panic by a stressed art director, 30+ years ago. Here’s the tax disc I made for my Blue Midget model: October 17, 2024 at 6:29 pm #299040 solidbronzeParticipant Cheers Paul! Have you a link to your stuff? October 17, 2024 at 8:10 pm #299041 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Brilliant work Andrew! Nice to meet someone else who also enjoys painstakingly recreating details of Red Dwarf in 3D that were almost certainly knocked out in a 5 minute panic by a stressed art director, 30+ years ago. Here’s the tax disc I made for my Blue Midget model: Who governs space? Who collects the tax? What’s it used for? How is it calculated? Is there a space congestion charge (maybe in the vicinity of certain planets)? Is there a fuel tax on space vehicles that don’t rely on renewable energy or have ram scoops? October 17, 2024 at 8:35 pm #299042 Paul MullerParticipant Cheers Paul! Have you a link to your stuff? https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JlvEeR here you go! October 17, 2024 at 9:01 pm #299043 DaveParticipant Who collects the tax? October 17, 2024 at 9:17 pm #299044 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Why don’t they have PAYE in the future? October 17, 2024 at 9:51 pm #299045 solidbronzeParticipant Cheers Paul! Have you a link to your stuff? https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JlvEeR here you go! Great stuff – love those textures, Paul! October 23, 2024 at 7:21 am #299159 solidbronzeParticipant Marooned October 23, 2024 at 8:57 am #299161 Flap JackParticipant Incredible work. Obviously it’s the same logic for all the sets, but it’s especially uncanny to see 2 completely different ships neighbouring like this. October 23, 2024 at 9:03 am #299162 solidbronzeParticipant I know: and they share a corridor! Same thing happens for Series 4 and too: back corridor runs along the rear of the set and opens into both ships. October 23, 2024 at 12:17 pm #299163 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I had never once considered the Atarbug set was adjacent to the bunk set in IV and V the science room is in that position. The corridor runs along the back but the door out of the bunk enters an ante room that the science room joins from the other side I’d imagined that was probably the same in III just without the adjoining door and Starbug would either far left or far right of those two sets together October 23, 2024 at 12:29 pm #299164 solidbronzeParticipant The Science Room is in the same position in S3, but it’s not erected every week (no standing sets in Manchester). It’s rather complex: Marooned: Starbug positioned as above. Timeslides: Science Room positioned left of bunkroom. Starbug not used. Backwards: Only the Starbug cockpit is used. The Science Room isn’t. Something else would be left of the bunkroom, but not sure what: maybe cockpit, the cafe set or the dressing room? Pub was probably pre-record. Bodyswap: Everything was done without an audience and both the full Starbug and Science Room appear. Suspect one was in that position for the pre-record and the other for the record. Polymorph: Science Room next to the bunkroom. Starbug doesn’t appear. The Last Day: The Officer’s bar is next to the bunkroom. Starbug and the Science Room don’t appear. Here’s a rough S5. October 23, 2024 at 12:31 pm #299165 solidbronzeParticipant The main reason both the Starbug and Science Room appear above is that there was much more space at Shepperton! Season 6 did similar: October 23, 2024 at 12:36 pm #299166 DaveParticipant These are incredible, and genuinely give me a whole new sense of how to visualise these episodes being made. Fantastic work! October 23, 2024 at 1:30 pm #299167 solidbronzeParticipant Cheers, Dave! Here’s a very, very rough S7. October 23, 2024 at 1:35 pm #299168 solidbronzeParticipant And a very, very, very rough S8 layout! October 23, 2024 at 6:11 pm #299172 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Ah I forgot about Manchester not being standing sets. These all look great though. I’ve always enjoyed trying to visualise the layout so seeing them like this is fantastic Author Posts Viewing 49 posts - 1 through 49 (of 49 total) Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
