So, all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will, where do you want to start?

It is so beautiful! I could actually cry right now! Could you consider filming yourself flying it or possibly make a fan film of your own?

this console room is actually built for the purpose of my fan film series I will be doing  ;D

thank you all for your very kind words!

KBO!

Hello all! work on the TARDIS has progressed extremely well, I've worked on the old girl well over a solid week with not 1 day rest, I'm really enjoying it more now as it's coming together more day by day, I've started to work to a schedule and finding it really helpful, I rebuild the collar on the console as I wasn't happy with it before, got some more wood to finish the slopping parts on the base, hexagons are finished! (about time! I've had eyes like a fly for the past few days!) and with a load of wood left over I build some arms/beams that come down from the roof all the way to the floor, ill get you a picture of those soon!, added some Gallifreyan text on the top hexagon above the timerotor ( a nod to the new TARDIS) brought a lot more switches and paint and buttons and BREATHE!  :o lastly i brought some of those pipe insulation foam thingy's  that the new TARDIS has either side of the doors, but on mine it's under the console, I also added more detail to the rim of the console which is silver and tweaked a few panels  :D will be cracking on again with it in the morning!

Looking really cool so far. I'm still curious about your light cover inside, above the door. Did you get that pattern from somewhere? Or just freehand it from a photo or some such reference. It looks really well done.

As someone also building an "original" console design.... Welcome To The CLUB!!!! I really like your design so far. There is something really cool about coming up with something that is a tribute to previous consoles, but still allows you to put yourself in it. I look forward to your updates!!!

Well Dino I looked at as many reference photos as I could, my friend went to the official convention in Cardiff last year and went on the actual TARDIS set so was able to grab a snap of the sign, i used that and other reference shots with a lot of round objects to which i created the sign  :)

Thank you Jason, I adore your console, which is why you might see a slight resemblance between our consoles  ;) but thank you good sir!

Thanks for all your kind words, it's really encouraging! Gave the TARDIS a good clean out, and added more controls and buttons, I also worked on the monitor too :) some photos which will save you all from my constant paragraphs  :P

thanks for looking!

Thanks for the info! Sounds like you had some great references (and one lucky friend to help out with that photo he snapped!) And it shows in that great light cover. I'm considering putting a 3rd light in the TV room (subject to wife's approval) - the switch is there just waiting for something, so why not. And if I do, since this 3rd light will be just inside the room and above the doorway I think between your build photos and what reference photos of the light we've got here (a few I think) I might also make one of these covers for it (again subject to approval from COMWIFELANT).

The rest of your room and console is coming along just great and I'm eager to see what you have in store for your column's innards: the look and how it will move.
