I do like the sharing idea. Interesing to see them altogether. Good idea about the change of 'venue' for sketch-up Manta. Hows your build coming along by the way Demat?

A week can seem like a heck of a long time sometimes.. But the guy doing it actually wants me to comment on details as he goes along, and he also knows I want to make a photo journal of the build in stages, so I should hear something soon. In the meantime, my wife and I's 'baby project' is due completion any day now, so I wouldnt be surprised if Tardis part#1 and Timetot both come along at once cheers Chris Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "Gosh, that takes me back.

The good thing about the chap I'm using is that he seems to have really got into the project. I'm able to feed into the process with the design/plans side of things, and he's coming up with some great build suggestions as we go along - actually causing himself more work in the process..! cheers Chris Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "Gosh, that takes me back.

Hope you're thinking of sharing your build tips as you go along It's always good to see a project once it gets from the paper & planning stage, gives a sense of "its really happening!.

Nice one! Being a Lord of Time could be useful from now on, as it would enable you to catch up on all the sleep you're gonna be missing! Good luck Zachary, you won't have nursary rhymes at bedtime, 40 years of Doctor Who catch-up for you!

(Actually if you'd called him that, I bet he'd have rebelled and ended up a Star Trek fan. I know a Dr Who fan whose middle name is Spock...)

After working it all out in 3d beforehand, I know how deep I can afford the inside panels to be before the doors become unopenable, etc And then it's over to the carpenter who, thankfully, doesnt mind all the details I keep loading him up with cheers Chris Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "Gosh, that takes me back.

The amazing 3d scenery, including my Tardis model, was rendered in Lightwave by TG who spent more than a few hours rendering and re-rendering different colors and textures on the image (Thanks TG!), and the final image was photoshopped by me - adding the mist, stormy sky, tardis light effects, the Master, the scarf, Tardis weathering, and some other details. Once the Master materialised, and given the amazing Castle scene that TG created, I kind of thought it suggested a story, hence the title. Speaking for both TG and myself: we hope you like it! It's been fun to do. cheers Chris « Last Edit: Apr 25, 2009, 9:36pm by Dematerialiser » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "Gosh, that takes me back. Or forward.

I've made it my screen background. It would almost fit the King's Demons, though I have visions of that knight clanking around as an assistant once he gets inside the TARDIS... It took me a while to spot the Master's TARDIS and the Doctor's scarf. Very nice!
