8th Doctor's Console for WHOseum

[galacticprobe]

White PVC and wood. Wow! They did a fantastic job of making it all look like wrought iron. The trusses I can guess how they built them, having done something similar for the seat supports on that old skiff I restored way back when. But the base? That must have required different diameters of PVC, or something else to build up those thicker layers. (I think it's time I re-read that TVM Console Restoration I transcribed... so much info in it!)

Update on the base and platform

[museumdave]

Most excellent!


The base is looking great!
Funny I was looking over this post last night wondering how it's coming along.   Thanks for answering my unasked question.  Love it. I am supper envious.  Of the space you have of your builds and vision.

All very cool !

Thanks for sharing

That's a wonderful base - I especially love the clawed feet. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

[galacticprobe]

That is indeed a beautiful base! Bravo!. I wish I had the skill to sculpt, mould, and cast those claw-and-ball feet! (They'd look great on my "Identity Crisis" console idea.)

Looking good!

I have a spare of the Sonora radio escutcheon that you're welcome to make castings of for the cost of postage (and if I get a couple afterwards).  There also was a mold floating around of the lower "heater grate" panel under the console made a couple of years ago to replace the missing grate on the screen used one - I'll see if I can dig it up next time I'm over at the console prepping it for its next appearance with Sylv McCoy in August.

Flooring on platform complete.

[FloppyDiskNinja]

Great work, that platform is brilliant. 

[galacticprobe]

That is an incredible recreation!

Are you building all of this for your own entertainment? Or is there another, more official reason?

[timegalaxy5]

You might as well say "Yeps, I am making my house a TARDIS"
and throw some couches and a TV in there and call it a day.
That's how good this is so far.

This series of builds is the most incredible thing I've ever seen on a forum like this. Simple as.

[amachielson]

I am building this for my own personal pleasure. I have wanted this since I was 10 years old.

Made some great progress today!
