Model of Deckard and Gaff in police spinner

Above: Incredibly detailed models of Deckard and Gaff are placed carefully in the miniature police spinner for special effects and distance shots.

In spite of the terrific pre-production drawings, when the spinner was initially buily and photographed, it looked like a flying brick. It took an enormous amount of energy to make it appear aerodynamic and interesting - continually adding flashing lights and other effects.
