What is it with people and touching things?  Why can't they be content with looking?


They are awfully "hands on"!  :o

Pretty in motion indeed. Surprised people are so delicate with it in fact!

They are touching it like a hands-on-museum piece.  Plus it's awesome and awe-inspiring.  Did you loose a knob on Panel 3 (the traditional scanner control panel) Jarrod?

I'm intrigued by the Gallifrey-Recall-Circuit cover... In the video I can see some woman giving it a good twist! (I hope the console returned home 100% intact!) :D

As Picard said in "First Contact"... It makes it seem more real :D

I love the smooth motion on the time rotor and the sound fx when the door lever is pulled :D
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,

I think that woman is blind, she has a stick, dark glasses and a dog with her. I wouldn't like everyone else to be fiddling with it though.

It's an absolutely amazing piece of work. A fantastic achievement and something to be immensely proud of.

Ah yes, I was just wondering if it was meant to move at all ;)

I'd love to have something as accurate as this console! :)

I'd love to see the signatures on the console  ;D That is so cool!!!
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Hey guys,

Thank you all for your awesome comments! I have to say that without all of your constructive criticisms, help and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to produce this console.

With regards to the number of people swarming it at Lords of Time, I had just nipped out to have a shower after finishing assembling it and walked in and the room had been opened about 2 mins before I got there. I had no control over it whatsoever!!! Needless to say, I was panicking  a little bit and watching it like a hawk until the crowd died down. I also didn't want to drawer attention to myself. As luck would (not) have it, the screens that have the "do not touch" message on them didn't work and I had to repair them at the close of the first day. BUMMER!!!

Anyhow, I resigned myself to the thought that many people were living a dream that they may not have had the opportunity to otherwise. Further, the console wasn't damaged in any way! Everyone was so gentle and respected it. Phew!!!

I love Sylvester's signature, reminds me of Kelly's Heroes.

They all look right at home at the controls. :)

That is epic!  ;D  World class job approved by 4 Doctors and Tegan. Maybe a clear coat to preserve the signatures before you get Tom's autograph.  ;)

That McCoy! He's such a vandal!

What do you expect from a man who voluntarily adorns his hair with bird poop ;)
