Catacombs Model GalleryAfter the series it was displayed at the Blackpool exhibition, but when the exhibition ended the model was to be destroyed. With no time and no transport for such a huge model, Phil Rae rescued most of the buildings, ripping them from its base. He was unable to remove most of the travel tubes and the launch pads. The model was owned by Andy Hopkinson until 2010; it is now owned by James Winch. Since 2021 it is on display at the National Film and Sci-Fi Museum, Milton Keynes, UK.
Note how the camera flash illuminates the reflective transflex used to represent windows.
The model was reconstructed at the Fanderson Gold convention in 1996.
