did you make it yourself or get the template for it somewhere?

I made them myself. The hardest part was creating something not like anything we saw in the show but not so different you'd not recognize it.
My primary console looks like the show ones...oops
but my secondary one has the touchscreen surface like Trek RNG consoles.

I looked up a tardis console and found a plan for it

The Edwardian console I remember and the 8th doctor's was a Jules Verne tribute...VERY steam punk

I loved the steampunk look and want it for my console but most of the time people when they have there own doctor or timelord invent there own console I always try but it always ends up to have so many buttons and switches and knobs it seems like none of them serve a purpose as well and each console looks remarkably different from any other console so something inside me wants to create my own but I'm not sure how. Any pointers?

Well there are two things you have to have. 6 control panels and the Time Rotor.
I would suggest if you like the "steampunk" look, make your central rotor a brass set of pipes. As it goes up and down it can steam and whistle like a pipe organ or locamotive.

Check out the links. This guy did a great job

Thanks I will do something like that. Thank you again! I'll try to make my own tardis console soon and post it up

Mine would be like the Kryptonian crystal technology from the "Superman" films...just to be different.

Considering that the Time Lords used molecular circuitry in a TARDIS and the central time rotor is a crystal construct that would be very apt. It would look very cool and regal. Very Time Lord

Well, I certainly do think that the look of the TARDIS reflects the aesthetics of the user, more than function. I think the design of the "new" TARDIS is cool.

I've often thought the TARDIS did as it pleased. If it likes you it tends to share artistic taste with it's "owner". I think every console room was cool. Mine has a lot less typewritters and sink fittings...LOL

Nice. I built my first one from faux stone to lool like it was carved from granite, strange how everyone seems to make at least one from wood though isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Granite would look great. As my first adventures where in the Victorian age, my console being a heavy wood seemed a natural.

Mine were in a greco roman 39th century setting where civilisation was collapsing interstellar travel had ceased completely and all the worlds of the former terran empire were turning inward to mindless barbarism. A malicious virus had turned all mans servants against him so machines were treated with distaste if not outright hostility.

Hope your chameleon circuit works...that could've been rough.

did at the time, a referee that I got in the late 90's decided to bust it saying that tho the semibyzantium empire obelisk that I had at one time I froze it on. It was becoming a real pain in the arse to illustrate adventures with it changing every landing spot. This was before I got introduced to a new field of art called 3d (well 3d that looked like it instead of being unshaded front face wireframes). Used to illustrate everything with technical pen, ink and watercolour pencil.

My chameleon circuit works fine. By a soda vending machine allows me to pick up local currency.

clever idea unless you set down in a currency free society.

Then no one will even bother with my TARDIS. Plus it lights up...I can find it in the dark.
The obolisque yours is in...what is that...a Roman style column? My TARDIS is a T-93...what's yours?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a 38 and no its a little ziggurat.

So it's a toy version of that huge structure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wouldn't say toy but it still has a very well equipped physical and sociodynamic experimental and recording suite which was the reason for building the things in the first place. Its just not got the pomp and circumstance of the latter models.

Mine's more the police model. The high council issued it to me to chase down temporal or Time Lord criminals. I even had a personality circuit....which I shut off because it was annoying.

My character is more the long serving retired research scientist type thats been allowed a semi retirement outside the bubble much like a detached duty scout woks, keeping an eye out fdor potentially difficult incursions of the code. Ship might be old but its extremely well maintained, everything works plus its previous requirement of seven crew (6 flight crew and a commander) has been fixed with higher order automatics to require just the commander for smooth operation. We've been doing this game on and off since the FASA timelord ruleset came out as a box set in the early 80's. As it uses much as the same rules as the ST : RPG we've an additional wealth of materials open to us. Even though that publication is long gone, think you can get a fan repro for free now of it someplace, its still very popular I've found. Many a game session when a campaign ref for one game or another has failed to show up has been saved by us getting this old gem out the filing cabinet again.

I love the game. I've heavily modified it to be more playable and use more of the actual canon. I've created most of the new monsters and some of the old. You can find the Dominators and the Clockwork Androids and Krillitanes here on my DA site.
I've played very little for a while now. Most of my group is far flung across the country now. I live in hope I may yet again become the Inspector and play some more games.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well my group is still around (those of us still alive that is) but its infrequent we play now, its just a fill in game here and there with no real schedule or campaign just a loose bunch of one-off episodes. Still, this way its got introduced to a younger gaming audience and that is pretty much all we could really hope for. My son bought that rpg that came out last year just to find it to be a glossy dissappointment. He judges as I do, the FASA predecessor to be far superior in both system and content, the new relys to heavy on published content, content that may dry up pretty abruptly should the maker decide to can it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. And unlike the new RPG the FASA one has most if not all the popular classic monsters.

Obviously I wanted to be a bit different from the Doctor's. So I went with my older console having wood finish and my modern one being flat panel backlit displays like Trek TNG.
