hi all!

I've been working on this for 7 days solid and wanted to show it off.

hope you like :)

having attached timer to the plywood sheeting, i routed the edges for a nice bevelled effect.

Next I marked the window panes and cut, my intention being these will create a strong rear support for the panes. (I'm hoping to create a 'sandwich' of acrylic sheeting and timber.)

Great progress for just a week!

(I'd encourage you to put a few pictures here on the forum as well: over time external links tend to break and we'll be left with an orphaned topic.)

been having real problems getting photos to upload for some reason.

anyhoo, i'm onto the roof now, just the lamp and sealing the pitched parts to go.

signs are to be collected from the printers on friday, so should be able to get on with the light boxes soon too.

have started to fill and sand where i can, can't wait to get some paint onto the thing!

OK, still not completed, but i thought I'd update you all (it's been a while).

the dance production this build was prompted by opens on Friday, so here's a piccie of the focusing session for lighting taken last night.

after some damage during the colder months, it became time to effect some repairs and improvements in preparation for an appearance later this month.

thought i'd take the opportunity to produce a short build slide show too.

The final pics of the box looks like someone stole GeminiTimelord's Hartnell Box and went for a joy ride.

I'd like to say a big 'thank you' to all of you who gave such positive comments this last weekend at corsham sci fi.

It'd be a big fat lie to say i didn't enjoy the attention 'sexy' got throughout the day, but i would like to make special BIG thank you to 2000man for letting me know that screwfix currently stock a fantastic fresnel garden lamp that's perfect to finish the job properly. :)

I've now bought one (at £15 I'd be nuts not too!) and will begin this final phase in the build next week.

the only thing after that i want to achieve i will CERTAINLY need help with from you guys!

I'm going to get a Vinyl photo print of the control room to hang inside so the door can be left open without spoiling the effect.

does anyone have, or know where i could find a high res, large image of the first control room. without the actors and preferably with the console in the centre of the frame? I've poured over this site and haven't yet found one that's quite right yet.

a good CGI version would do!

keeping my fingers crossed some geniussssssssssssss will put me on the right track

Well, I've had an amazing weekend, for which i'll upload some pictures soon.

10th planet events held an autograph session with William Russell and Carol-Ann Ford in Barking, East London and my completed box (now named sexy: she has her own facebook page, look her up lol!) was there too!

I even relocated the lock to the correct door at long last and she stood proud as the backdrop for photos at the end of the day.

the most exciting part being seeing them both come out of the box together with HUGE grins on their faces after signing the inside of the doors. :)

certainly the pinnacle of my geek life so far. not sure how to top this as it was as wonderful to me as the birth of my children and our wedding!

As i say i will upload some pics soon, but in the meantime you can see the event here: http://www.tenthplanetevents.co.uk/
