Whoa, now, here's a _very_ cool one:
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...-S68-33750.jpg
So, just how many of those regular old group shots of the crew posing at
the hatch looking at a photographer _outside_ the CM did they shoot before
they did _this_ one? _Very_ nice.

What in the heck is that? It looks like a mockup with some finished parts
but a drawing for most of the control panel but the occasional switch or
guard.

....Throw the photo into Photoshop, and take a closer look at the
panel. That's an actual panel, not a mockup. What we're seeing is a
shot where the camera was set on the footrest of the center seat, and
a timer was used to snap the shot. Those three curved doohickeys are
the helmet rests.

I blew it up to 200% and looked closely at the DSKY. It looks like a
drawing to me and so does the artificial horizon directly over it(well
under in the picture).

Still looks cool.

Mockup. Look at the FDAI. That is a sphere in it and should show some
perspective effects, which it doesn't.

Pretty cool, and it does answer the question of what the interior of the BPC
looked like...
