With no FA for two days, I decided to take it as a hint from the universe that I should have an extra weekend. So, I spent the downtime tinkering on my weekend hobby project, with my favorite handheld 80's thingamajig, with chaser lights.
I've decided to do the 1984 version of the "twin generators" unit - as first seen in The Last Starfighter. (I've been unable to find any reference for how the prop looked in 1983.) And so, I worked on a couple of the bits for the little black control panel that fits on the side shelf. It's powered off right now, since it's not finished.
You may also note the presence in the room here, of one of the tall black computer modules, which you fans of Knight Rider should recognize as the other computer in the back of the FLAG Semi-truck. It too has gotten around, appearing in Buck Rogers, and several flavors of Star Trek, including Wrath Of Khan, where they switched off the two numeric LED readouts, and laid it on its side for use as a "wide" computer bank, rather than a tall one.
Oh, and also present is a large octagonal cargo container, which has been seen around the Star Trek universe, as well as on the V mothership.

Yep. They also still have two of the boomerang computer units from my previous render.
If you take a walk thru their online inventory, you'll start to notice a few of their props turning up here and there as you watch TV. I spotted two of their "hi tech" desktop props in this week's Agents Of SHIELD.

Apart from reusing a lot of standing sets and set pieces left over from Battlestar Galactica (for example, the angled "starship corridor" that served duty as everything from the draconian mothership to the searcher) they also hit upon a really neat way to save on the costs of constructing new sets...
They put together four or five different wall sections, and four or five different doorways. Then, whenever they needed a new room, they just shuffled the pieces around. Stick wall section A next to doorway C, and paint them both orange. Stick in some rented furniture and props.. NEW ROOM.
No construction needed. Just move a bunch of pre-fab wall units around and you're done. Fast, and cheap.
