The14thDr's TARDIS Console Mk.II

I finally got round to making a belated prop showcase video for the console. It basically explains how I made the TARDIS, including all the levers, buttons, switches and time rotor.

Hello again. Just thought I'd pop by and post some more photos of the console's time rotor at various stages of illumination.

Thanks for looking. I'll try to upload some more close-ups in the not-too-distant future. Kind regards, The14thDr :D
 
And to save on our necks (again)...

And this is one of those instances where the photos "look" upright on the computer (as when I saved them and opened them to view them), but must have been taken with a mobile device of some sort. This is why it is important to do a "Save As..." and overwrite the file even if the photo looks upright. There was obviously a disparage with the photo's orientation and the metadata, but doing the "Save As..." and overwriting the file fixed that.

Apologies once again Dino. :P
I double-checked the photos and did the Save As... thing just to be sure, and everything looked fine from my end. I think from now-on I need to remember to take photos from my camera, to save our members' (and guests') necks!

Kind regards, The14thDr :D
 
14th, your console upgrades are looking great.

I'm just curious about the photos, but did you post those from a computer, or a mobile device such as a tablet, iPad, etc.? That could be why your images posted sideways... maybe. They looked fine on my computer when I saved them, but I did the "Save As..." anyway, and then they were upright when I reposted them.

Since this seems to be a hit-and-miss thing with images being posted recently, I'm just trying to figure out why. I know with the increased use of mobile devices that people are posting some images from them, but in order to ensure that images post upright the images might need to be transferred to a regular desktop computer and checked there (and have the "Save As..." done on the computer), and then posted from the computer, not the mobile device.

It's always a trial and error (and a frackload of guesswork) figuring out strange issues like this.

That is a fantastic console! I really like the design of the time rotor. Any plans to wire up the levers and switches to anything?
