discussion Welcome Aboard '' Doctor Who ''

hi Polux glad your liking it so far,

well i did work out what happened with that nut thing at the bottom, the o-ring had poped off so i go it back on,so it works, well in a way not the best

but if i can get it in the right spot, i will super glue it till my new one gets to me,

but i manage to get some done, the under coat, and on the Doc and Martha , and made a start on the body's as well,

hope you like what little i have manage to do,

little bit unsure of real what to do with the clear counsel ?

Maybe the console was made clear so you can paint it in a clear finish so it glows?

 

[papa 695]

Just seen this one Monica nice start will watch from now on

 

[monica]

hi Joe, i think your right,

hi Ian glad to have you along

I did find some good pics of the inside of the tardis, so im going with that look,

with the two tone console,,leaving cear bits, but i dont have translucent paints at all, for switchers and other bits,and bobs

so maybe able to just use a very thing down paint,?

I wont to put a green flashing LED at the bottom to shine upway and maybe a second one in the top part,

which should like up the center,console, and base, whit i will just paint in some of the ripple,and leave some unpainted to let

the led show ,

made a start on the The Doc/ Martha,

well hope your in enjoying it so far

Looking good moni , that console is going to cause me problems but my son has the toy of this console so I should be able to use that as reference well that and the fifty photos he's emailed me lol

 

[monica]

hi Alan,ta, oh that sounds interesting, would be nice to have the ref pic,s the one im use well is not real the best but gives me some idea,

its mostly with the buttons and switchers ?

 

[Alan 45]

hi Alan,ta, oh that sounds interesting, would be nice to have the ref pic,s the one im use well is not real the best but gives me some idea, its mostly with the buttons and switchers ?

I'll sort out some and pm you with them and I'll take some photos of his console to give you an idea , I hope he's got batteries in it as it might help with knowing what parts to paint over

 

[monica]

oh cool Alan that will be a great help thank you so much, i do have couple of ideas in this head of mine which should work as well,

but looking at clear ,its a bit hard to work out whats what if you know what i mean ,

and i need to get some leds as well oh my thats a head ache just trying to work out were from, i would like a green one in the console, and

3 flashing one behind the door,

and also if you look at your one you will see with the roof, there is a switch,that works when the door is open, with the flashing light on top plus the sound ,

what i wont to do is disable that switch and run the power to behind my brick wall with a switch to operate it ? as i dont wont to be taking the roof off

all the time,just been putting off opening the top ,gggrrrrr some think may go wrong and i brake it i would cry,

 

[monica]

well a small update, got the console all done,maybe could of been a little different ,

i did try some green led,s in it but dont seam to be bright for my liking in the day maybe try tonight ?

well do let me know what you think so far,

Well, for starters that is looking very good Monica. I think the console looks pretty good, can;t really remember what the newer TARDIS looks like inside but I'd say any new Doctor would be happy with that one. How much of it actually shows when the Police Box is closed up I wonder? Great stuff, makes me want to try one myself. Would love a Tom Baker version!

 

[monica]

hi Joe so glad you like it,

not very much is seen real as you have only one door opens in about 1/4 way so not much will let you know when i get to that part,

maybe not have console lights just put 3 on the closed door park may work better and be a bit brighter,

I do as well,wish it was Tom as well with k-9 that i would lov,

 

[monica]

well have a update, and got the old girl together

Im quite happy with the color, that it turned out,needs some slight weathering

so what dose everyone think so far ?
