No. 6's residence - progress to date (film set ceiling)

My SketchUp model of Number Six's apartment from the TV series 'the prisoner' has taken a bit of a interesting turn. Originally I simply wanted to make a model based on a floor plan published in the book 'The Village Files', but now I have started to think of the model in terms of it's function as a reconstruction of the film set.

Above: The 'film set' ceiling is complete. High and open, this 'false ceiling' is what I assume the original set must have been like to accommodate lighting and cameras. The red area is my latest addition, a sloped ceiling as I imagine the original set to have been like.

The fact is, that although my 'assumptions' are based on what I can see from the DVD footage of the series, without actual firm reference and schematics of the film set I am stabbing in the dark. Although, so far, I have been unable to find out if a technical drawing or photographs of the original set construction are available.

I'm not even sure if there was just one version of the set - as sometime you can see the rooms with ceilings, and sometimes there are hints that the walls in some sequences are much higher (perhaps with no ceilings to accommodate cameras and lighting rigs).

I am sure, over time, as I collect more data a third and forth model will be made!
