Interior Builds

If you build a TARDIS console, this is the place to chart your progress and show us what you're doing. We love pictures... Once you're finished, make a thread over in the Interior Gallery board, and put up some nice photos of your completed console.

Its been a while since I posted anything on it so I thought I would start this as I have been starting up again with it. Here are a few pictures of it currently, I also have to thank celation who was kind enough to send me a plaster cast of his switch housing levers, He gave me permission to mold and recast it up in resin. I will be switching my hardboard version out for the Celation version. Oh the rotor is just propped up in place for now. I have the rail system designed in my head (thanks to Jarrod and Kevin Lippard) and will be working on that in the future as well. Enjoy the pictures Here are the switch housing casts Where have you brought me this time old girl??? « Last Edit: Jul 17, 2009, 12:37am by karsthotep » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged celation Castellan member is offline Joined: Nov 2006 Gender: Male Posts: 232 Location: UK Karma: 17 Re: Karsten's Console Build « Reply #1 on Jul 17, 2009, 10:22am » Karsten, How you can call this console "humble" or suggest that it pales in comparison to mine, is beyond me! It looks just fantastic! Those keyboards are really working now - and I love the Pertwee-style black lines joining them. And that glow cast from the Time Column is amazing! Looking forward to seeing more... C.

I am at the airport right now heading home from my vacation. Wow I needed that. I will be working on my console tomorrow. I need to get some more Resin ordered to cast up a few more lever housings and I need to also build and cast one of the large slide lever controls for the Time Rotor. I'll try to get some stuff posted for tomorrow when I am done.

I am close to finished on two panels and have started a 3rd panel. I have made some changes on what I wanted for panel 3 and added some detail to panel 2 which is the one with the keyboards. All the lights and switches are dry fit right now until I get the console done and start the wiring phase. Let me know what you guys think.

So Donald this ones for you. This is mock up only in photoshop but it will be getting the real world application. I am also going to be going darker on the panels themselves and keeping the panel covers and rotor collar light to give it a nice contrast and depth. karsten Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged DoctorWho8 Lord President member is offline Joined: Apr 2005 Gender: Male Posts: 918 Location: Bloomington, IL, USA Karma: 1,039 Re: Karsten's Console Build « Reply #18 on Dec 18, 2009, 7:15pm » That's going to look pretty sweet.
