Just wanted to share my interpretation of the Tardis console from Doctor Who (the Tenth Doctor's Tardis). I had a lot of fun making it and wearing it.
The idea itself is not mine. Got it from two people on other sites.
Me sitting down, fanning out the skirt so it looked as console-like as possible.
General reference picture:
The crinoline helped make it poof out. The shirt represents the time rotor.
Full skirt. Figuring out the size, shape and colours of all those little pieces (and then making them) took more time than I had anticipated, but it was worth it.
Used piping for the cables and wires, but because I was finishing this up the night before the Con, I didn't have time to attach very many. There are also some gadgets missing. I'll add them eventually.
First half (panels 1, 2 & 3):
Second half (panels 4, 5 & 6):
Planning stage:
When I had all the planning done and had lined up all the pieces of paper (which helped with placement and proportions), it was all a bit overwhelming. Lots of paper. It was great to see the number of pieces of paper diminish as they were replaced with sewed-on fabric.
Used mesh-like crinolin material for the metal grating that is on two of the panels:
Reference pics:
These are some of the pics I used for figuring out what went where. It got a bit complicated when I realized not all of the stuff is stationary and the same panel will not look the same in all reference pics (especially those removable spheres). One of the tougher aspects was figuring out what order the panels went in. There was a bit of putting pictures together like a puzzle to figure it out. Kinda fun though. And worth it, too.
