ionic Greek columns for your console room?
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

I really can't kick myself anymore thanks to that back injury (that gift that keeps on giving). My legs just can't move like that anymore, but I can bang my head against the wall a few times! ;D That wouldn't really hurt since I'm having some problems with the vertigo again; in fact it might actually help! ;)

As this is now all but finished I thought you would like to see the R/L lift in all its glory and a brief photo diary of building up the console,I think the next project has got to be the console room walls.

Here is the Raise/Lower lift in all its glory

Here are a few pics of building up the console

Nice! She is a beauty! (And who is that wicked one who hijacks that pillar TARDIS and sabotages that lovely console? Surely you don't have another Master in your midst?)

The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.

Believe it, my friend! This is one beauty of a console! (And just think of the "regenerations" she's gone through to get to this stage. I think her first trip once she's had her "time and space" trials should be the Eye of Orion for some R & R. ;))

Really love the Hartnell design elements in this :)

I don't think somedays we realise who our creations are going to effect ,My son came around sunday (Fathers day) and brought his girlfriend and her autistic son Aaron,My son said `let Aaron see the console' (Aaron is extremely autistic he is 6) Imagine my delight when he spent an hour just standing in front of it absolutely delighted waving his arms (that's his way of showing excitement) watching the flashing lights etc.. It was great to watch.(we had a great deal of trouble prising him away from it when he had to go home LoL)
Thanks for the responses guys.
