I have to confess, I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who. I should have my geek license revoked. Having said that, your work is excellent! Very clean.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with my daughter’s health which up until today has taken most of my time but she is on the mend which has meant that I’ve been able to pick up a knife and go back to this piece.

I’ve been working on finalising the third wall of the original Doctor Who’s Tardis control room by adding the vents above the computer wall and the monitor.

I have used cardboard tubes for the vents, cutting a length of 6mm foam board, glueing 5 x 0.25" cut cardboard tubes to the underside, I cut five lengths of the tube to 0.8" and glued them to the topside, directly above the tubes below.

The monitor is made from two pieces of 20" foamboard cut to 1.5" x 1.5", glued together and then sanded and pressed into shape, it was then glued to the centre of the vent shelf.

Getting those tubes to line up is impressive  :) This build looks great so far. Nice to see the original. Glad your daughter is on the mend. Sounds like it was pretty serious.

After months of my daughters illness, I had lost all inspiration for dios and miniature painting because I’ve just not been in the mindset for it. It’s slowly starting to come back. Things are starting to get better along with my inspiration.
The Tardis was undercoated with black spray paint, and now I am applying a white base coat. I cut out a floor made up of 2 pieces of 10 mm foamboard, which I have cut into 3 inter joining pieces (to make it easier to pack away and ship to my client). I have also started applying a white base coat to the floor.
My next steps is to finishing painting the floor and the underside of the computer wall, paint the round things a light grey before adding the final coat of white to the walls.

After taking inspiration from the modern take of the original Tardis, I’ve opted for white walls and floor, light grey for the inside of the round things and over hanging monitor. I am part way through painting the dials, switches and buttons on the console. The walls I have almost finished painting them and the floor needs another layer of paint.

I have finished painting the floor, the walls and the console. I just have a couple of finishing touches and then this piece is complete and ready to ship to its owner.

That looks absolutely brilliant!!! The details on the console are amazing and the whole space came together very well.
