Yeah, technically they're a little small if you're going by the actual onscreen ones, but you can take advantage of that for a "forced perspective" effect--the room will look bigger because the roundels are smaller and thus appear farther away.  (For true forced perspective, you've start with full-sized roundels closest the audience/camera and have them gradually smaller as you went back.)  When I first did my TARDIS, I didn't have actual windows.  I just painted window-sized spots grey and then put the glass and frame over them.  Then I bought a pack of styrofoam plates and glued them up on the inside.  Not at all accurate to the size of real roundels, but since the interior space is about 4x4 it was a kind of neat effect.  These are MUCH nicer than disposable plates.

I think some have said that they are video cassette boxes but they have tapered ends, so either (and bear with me on this one) they are tape trays from say a home entertainment thing from the 90s, or they are something else entirely.  I haven't seen any ID/match information.

The tapered end could even indicate they are vac formed from something.

Also me think theyre a touch wider than a tape.

For me, speaking personally, I tend to lean towards as much accuracy as possible (which is why I don't post a hell of a lot and why my 3D projects tend to stall from time to time)...

But those plates look exactly the job for this! Looking at them laid out in the correct places just gives exactly the right vibes 

Quote from: drdean on May 21, 2023, 08:10 pmI know this is an old thread but did we ever get to generating definitive plans for the time rotor? In particular dimensions for the acrylic stars and dimensions for the various acrylic rods? I can see patterns on this thread and some general chat but can't find specific dimensions anywhere on the forum.

I believe this was the last post with an update, but Monsieur Plie hadn't as yet attached any numbers.

I suppose if we can work out the largest star dimensions (by comparison to the base disc?) then we might have a good start

Those bowls look a treat! As they are, they'd make nice roundels for a Master's TARDIS as well!

Depending on your resources, an option for roundels that is common here is casting duplicated out of resin or some other material.

How large are the bowls? I fear they may look a bit small on a full size door!

Found these plastic plant pot bottoms in Wilkos for £2.49 each and I think I can make some Roundels out of them. They seem a great shape and similar to door roundels at least.

Here is the Gravitic Anomylizer for my TARDIS. It's made of found objects. Take a look and let me know what you think.

So in addition to the console I have been working on more props for the room. My story is that I'm stranded (Like the 3rd Doctor) trying to fix my TARDIS. My goal is to have miscellaneous parts siting around I'm repairing.

So here is my design for the Gravitic Anomylizer (Mentioned in the 4th Doctor story Horns Of Nimon). Take a look and let me know what you think!!!
