I got bored and decided I needed another TARDIS console room for my figures. So I found these pictures...

This is where I printed my pictures on cardstock but there was different ones on AFT Downloads.

Once I got all of the pictures printed I put them on cardboard, traced them, cut the cardboard pieces out, glue them to the cardboard, then taped all the edges but you don't have to tape the bottom (I will explain later).

For the pillars I did everything I did with the walls except tape the bottom and top.

I attached the walls and pillars with tape.

I used a piece of white cardboard for the floor. Then I traced the walls and pillars on the floor.

I put another piece of cardboard under the floor then put toothpicks in the floor and sat the walls and pillars on them. Also if you taped the bottom you will have to cut it so the toothpicks will go inside of it like me or don't tape it at all.

I did this so the walls and pillars would stay still on the floor.

Then I super glued the bottom of the walls and pillars to the floor and the toothpicks help a lot with that.After the glue dried I took each toothpick out one by one and dipped them in super glue, then stuck them back in with the side that had no glue on it in first. This helped the walls stay up. After doing this you will have a lot of super glue on your hands, just a warning.

This is what I got so far I am trying to figure out how I am going to make the console because I don't want to use the cardstock one and I don't know how I am going to make the time rotor. I also want the fix the roundels and scanner to make them look better.

This is not finished and I will continue it. Also this is my first post, and sorry for the some pictures being sideways. ;D

nice! So the toothpicks act as the wall supports.

Perhaps for the time rotor you can get some transparency film and print on that? They do make that for inkjets.

I am thinking about cutting out the roundels and putting some paper behind it or I thought of maybe putting water bottle caps, I am going to cut the scanner out and make it better.  ;D
