Does anybody have any good pictures of the 'orb' on the lower floor of the 2010 tardis?

Thanks,
Daniel

Well i've managed to get these couple of screenshoots of the globe hopefully they should be of some help until some clearer ones crop up,

There is also water in that hole around the bottom globe. I remember seeing in the "TARDIS Tour" video that they put water, with some coloring added to it, in the hole to simulate the rotor cooling fluid. I don't know if they've got a pump or anything that runs the water over the globe, like one of those desk fountain bubblers, but there is definitely water in that hole. So I would think one of those small, round garden pond-type things for holding the water. They're usually black so that saves on painting. (That is, if you're going full scale on this.)

And those lights look like standard eight-foot fluorescent tubes with green/blue filter sleeves over them.

Looking at all that steel holding the whole thing up I wonder what the conversation was like with the guys they brought in to weld it all.

Those holes have visible "floors" in them, and they aren't very deep. They also appear to be dry, unlike the large hole directly below the console, which has colored water in it.

Has anyone noticed if someone had walked through (stepped in) one of those holes in any of the episodes? I'll have to go back and watch them all again now. (Yeah, like that's torture. ;D)
