I took the DVDs of the movie and the first three episodes of the series
(which is all MGM has seen fit to release in the US, even though the UK
has the majority of season 2 out on DVD already), and went back and
forth through them, drawing out every detail I could see (having a zoom
function on my DVD player helped a lot).  Then I used CorelDRAW to make
up some schematics based on the drawings, and took measurements from
those to build the models.  A couple of things are "best guess", since
the objects in question were in deep shadow or only shown from an acute
angle, but I think I got pretty close.
