So it's about 2 years since I last worked on the console, but I have plans to improve the column mechanism, to add SoundFX to buttons using an AdaFruit soundboard and re-make a few items now that I have access to a 3D printer sometimes.  Little to share except that yesterday I plugged her in for the first time in ages to show off to a few workmates and thought it time to take some better photos.  You guys are the only ones likely to appreciate any of this so...    Here are some pics - some as nice as I could take, then some plain light ones so you can see the details on each panel and 'arm.'   One of them had the papier mache texture eaten by rats when in storage a few years ago and I've never restored it but one day... yes, one day...

:)

What I just witnessed was a work of love.  :o
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Look at the dates of the posts, whokids.  The last time this builder posted was back in October.  It doesn't matter how many times you ask if the person you're asking isn't here.  Besides, he made the stickers over 5 years ago. He may not even have the file anymore.  That said, 10 seconds on Google gives some possibilities:  https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1350&bih=612&ei=rhx6Xv_iEaO8tgXojJeIBA&q=galifreyan+symbols&oq=galifreyan+symbols&gs_l=img.3...377.7125..7352...6.0..0.217.1836.23j0j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.......0j0i131j0i30j0i10i24.BYfyLFHFhtQ&ved=0ahUKEwj_8YnBrLPoAhUjnq0KHWjGBUEQ4dUDCAU&uact=5

This is a pretty friendly and accommodating place, but there are people who have put in literally decades researching the most obscure sources to figure out the things they've learned.  Most of us will be pretty helpful if asked properly, but pestering people to just drop whatever they're doing to go find a 5 year old file to send to someone can rub people the wrong way pretty quickly.  There's a lot of information here.  Just be patient and look for it.  :)

Thanks Volpone.  :)

WhoKid, good effort and what a big project!   I think that the switches unit on the panel beside the bomber compass came from a tv studio - there are remains of labels relating to directors and cameras.  I made up a design for the panel and can share it, I'll try to find and paste it here.  I got your PM and YouTube comments too - just been a   bust month for obvious reasons.  Sorry - didn't see the comments here, don't check too much anymore after all these years on the boards...

Hi again!  It's been a couple of years so must be about time for an update.  I've continued adding lights and functionality to the console but still have a solid week of work ahead to ever completely finish it off.  Several boxes of parts and possible parts continue to sit around but one day...   And of course as I've gained skills over the years I've thought of other ways I would have tackled this build to make it better but I can't face ripping it all to pieces to do it now.  Oh well. 

Anyway, I thought I'd try doing a few short videos with it to rev up my enthusiasm, this is the teaser:

Thanks folks :)
