I've been making progress on the TARDIS floor, having worked out a few details holding me back, this was half the floor markings done: And the entirety of the floor pattern: I've added a black border and started adding black to the shapes in the middle, I'm very excited for it to be colourful! I've… Continue reading Project Roundup

Complete Console!
IT'S COMPLETE. No nitpicking still to do, no more coats of paint, the TARDIS console is done! Sarah's as excited as I am, as you can see. I added one wire, two extra dials and some painted buttons, in addition to this little line of Circular Gallifreyan around the edge. Not to mention the blue… Continue reading Complete Console!
So Close
Panel 6 is done. DONE, I tell you! This loopy wire is black on the actual TARDIS, but I wasn't bothered painting it, so it's yellow now. I wonder what the big red switch does? Or the quartet of little silver ones below? That's been half the fun of making this - "ooh, I wonder… Continue reading So Close
Panel Five
Panel five of the TARDIS console is done! I like the switch and the wires behind the purple tube, they look really cool. I might add some buttons to the plain gadgets yet, but I think that's for another day. Final checks on the dials. There were a lot of little pieces to wrangle for… Continue reading Panel Five
Four of Six
Panel four of the TARDIS is done! (Those white dots look a little like eyes...) I could only find one reference picture for this panel, and the angle it was taken from covered the top of the panel, so I had to improvise a little. I love the clear, curved 'glass' - it was very… Continue reading Four of Six
Halfway There
The third side of the TARDIS console is done - we're halfway around! At the top there's a light - I believe it does move on the real TARDIS, but I realised this a little late! The buttons on the black box were a last-minute addition, as it was a bit plain before. Now we… Continue reading Halfway There
Lights & Dials
Side two of the TARDIS console is finished! I really like this adjustable light, the concave design is very unusual (sadly, it is not actually adjustable in miniature)! We also have some teeny tiny dials which were a bit of a challenge to paint, as they are so small! The only thing I have that… Continue reading Lights & Dials
TARDIS Updates
I've done a fair bit on the TARDIS, I've put all these wire details in on the yellow bits (which look really good!)... ...and I've been making progress on the first of the console sections. The finished (ish) section! I do want to add one or two more things to this, but it's pretty good… Continue reading TARDIS Updates
Wires & Hours
The final two elements of this level of the TARDIS console are finished! I feel like this is a (small) milestone, completing these two elements. First is this hourglass, which I imagine is for more than just measuring the passage of time. It's not exactly the same as the original, but it still looks pretty… Continue reading Wires & Hours
The Eyes Have It
From unpainted... ...to painted... ...to in the TARDIS! I don't actually know what this device is called, but I've been calling it the 'Eyes', because I assume it's like a microscope, something used to see things. It reminds me a little bit of Wall-E, especially his face. The Eyes don't move, but I imagine the… Continue reading The Eyes Have It
