Virtual Consoles and Set Builds / Re: Logopolis & Castrovalva: W...
Last post by MttElby - Today at 04:52 pmA couple of pics of the finished cloister room:
"Finished" here means all the walls and props are in place, but obviously it's far from being the dimly lit, scuffed cloister room from the screen. I'll do some paving for the floor, but then move on to adding all the corridors around the room, before coming back to sort out the textures and lighting.

Last post by Rassilons Rod - Today at 04:35 amJesus, that looks like a lot of work to day!
But that first shot (I'm sure I've said this about similar photos you have posted) is giving me serious The Highlanders vibes

Last post by MttElby - May 14, 2024, 08:33 pmA quick check that things are looking OK in the rendered 3D view.
Here's the stone bench and one of the plant troughs:
And here's the scene it's roughly matched to:
I'm not sure the dimensions are quite right for the bench, but it's close enough for the moment. In the same way, it has carvings of leaves on it, but I'll only come back and attempt that once the whole room is assembled.
And if anyone is wondering if I'll be doing all the dangling ivy - definitely not! The way I see it, with three new companions, the fifth Dr got them pulling down ivy and cleaning up the cloister room generally, so mine will be a lot cleaner.

Despite the blurry source image, I think the model captures the effect.

Last post by MttElby - May 14, 2024, 08:23 pmA couple of "stonehenges" made from the cloister room walls.
There are two versions because I've been trying to decide if translucent roundels should be visible from both sides of a wall. This is an issue they didn't have to deal with in the show as you never got to see both sides, but you will in this. I think I'm leaning towards them not being visible on both sides in the cloister room walls, because they are thicker than a typical wall.

Looking forward to seeing the old girl in A1 condition!

TARDIS Build Diaries / Re: Timegirl's TARDIS
Last post by Volpone - May 14, 2024, 03:12 pm"Like" isn't the right choice, but I sympathize. I made the fatal mistake in 2017 of siting my TARDIS on a concrete pad when I moved. Turns out this let water pool at the base and/or wick up from the bottom. The base is an important structural element and I've been unsuccessfully fighting these effects since 2021, when I moved to my current location. But that's all for a different thread.

Last post by Angelus Lupus - May 14, 2024, 12:11 pmSorry to see the roof like that, but amazing you've managed to get such a long life out of your Tardis! 18 years out in all weathers and that sign box has less (visible) damage than some on-screen (classic) boxes!
