Hi All,
Fairly new here, though a lurker for some time. I've mainly stuck to TARDIS and Who forums before, but thought I'd air my work here - not least because I've had some interesting leads on components from some of the threads here.
I've been working on a 1960s TARDIS console - attempting to get as accurate as possible - as many here will understand.
So - I'm working on this style of console:
This is the first panel I've replicated:
And mine:
I've tracked down the correct lenses in the circular frames. The switches are scratch built, as is the large lever box and the circular lights. The silver handle is the weak point at the moment, and will be replaced with a resin version - or rather two, as per the earlier version.
This is the next panel in progress. I've tracked down the original model of meter used, and the other style of lens.
I've also had some luck (is it still luck when it takes months?) and much help in tracking down other components, such as the original style of basket used at the base of the central column.
Original:
My work-in-progress:
I've just had a whole bunch of switches cast up to continue with the build, too:
And a few of the more intricate bits have been built, like the Fast Return Switch:
So - one panel pretty much complete, and two in progress.
Plenty more to do!
