I can't wait.

I had another thread about building TARDIS models that seems to have disappeared, which is weird. I updated it last night and the entire thread appears to have vanished..?

Anyways...







I finished these a while back, but I'd not got around to post them because of the Hard drive crash.

All to 6th scale, rather than the usual 7th scale...

Bootiful!!

Wonder where the other thread vanished to..?

Great stuff, tho',

That's damned bizarre.  I posted in it.  Looking around to see if there's any way I accidentally used secret moderator powers to delete it, but no dangerous-looking buttons are anywhere near any of the buttons I'd have used.  (I'd hope the dangerous-looking buttons have an "Are you sure?" warning before executing, but I'm not going to test that right now.)  Maybe an admin will be able to figure out what happened to it.  It doesn't look like I've got any tools that let me do that. 

Anyway, the finished work is magnificent; a thing of beauty. 

Totally, utterly, completely gorgeous. I like it.

Those are great. This color intrings me for some reasons. I'm a sucker for thoses washed out colors and "in univers" beater apearance, and it's the look that works best on film i think.
Any way, i don't know enought about this props history, but they look solide.

Thanks.

You're on the right website if you want to know about the props history. There's a really well researched guide in the reference section for each of the different classic series props, as well as accompanying discussion threads

I think the newer structure of the boards makes it harder to find the researched stuff, but it is all there...

Been a while since I last did one of these. Sorry about the wait. Some may recall I suffered a hardisk failure back in the spring that wiped out a lot of my past work and templates (I managed to recover most of the data now though)...

I've also been spending the summer and autumn renovating my full sized TARDIS - Only its too cold and wet to carry on with that at the moment, so I thought I'd have a play at this instead. Well, its 2021 and I can't go on holiday so what the hell else am I going to do. (as I type this I should be packing to spend new year in Rome, but that isn't happening now.  )

As ever these are made with purchased backgrounds I've adapted, and 7th scale practical TARDIS models I've built myself (as well as another spaceship you might recognise  )

Hope we all had a good Christmas and have a safe and happy new year!

More of the same... A few short scenes of the TARDIS spinning around some nice backgrounds, but if you like watching this sort of thing it can be quite a therapeutic way to pass a couple of minutes.

There's a cameo of a spaceship you might recognise at the end as well. As ever the Hero ships are all models I've made and filmed myself and I'm a little smug with how the end credits background turned out as I knocked it up from completely from scratch (you will see what I mean...)



I'd have got this out earlier; but I've been a bit preoccupied with picking up the damage after Storm Eunice decided to rip off the front gable of my house.



The bitch...

That is an awful thing to happen to your house. I hope nobody was hurt.

Great animation. 😊😊

Hope you can get your house fixed soon!

Holy cow...

Sorry to see that, Steve... hope no one got hurt.

The storm ripped the roof off the Youth centre where I teach & the rubble crashed right down in front of my Dojo.
The two plastic chairs sitting outside were smashed to smithereens, so thank goodness no one was in the yard when it happened.
Fortunately the rubble missed my TARDIS....

Hope you get the damage fixed soon...

Best regards,

Russell.

Thanks guys, fortunately no one was hurt. I was at work, but the Girlfriend was at home. She was on the phone, looking out of the window at a bucket that was being blown down the garden towards the stream and was deciding whether or not to go after it.

She eventually decided not to, and then 10 seconds after that the wall came down. Thing is if she had decided to go after it, she would have left via the front door and been hit by the falling structure and most likely killed.

Based on the theory behind Schrodinger's Cat, somewhere there is an alternate reality where she made the wrong choice. we are fortunate I live in this universe!

I've spent the week pulling in favours and I have a builder coming next week to get the gable sorted. No mean feat considering every decent builder is booked solid for the rest of the year!

Yikes.  It's interesting.  We heard about the Australia wildfires.  And of course the big tsunami in Asia even further back, but you really don't hear about severe weather in other parts of the world.  So it's kind of like "the UK gets named storms?"  Sorry to to hear about this.*  You know, when I was younger, I used to hate games like "Civilization" or "SimCity" where, just as you were finally getting things were you wanted them, the stupid cheating game would give you some setback.  Now I realize the games weren't cheating and that's apparently how life works. 

*"Sorry to see/hear this,"is such an odd term.  It implies that you aren't sorry that the actual news happened, only that you found out about it.  But "I'm sorry that happened" just doesn't sound right.

Wow... hope you get your house fixed soon!
