The Bowler Hat Doctor's TARDIS (Angle 1)
The Story:
After the TARDIS was destroyed from crossing between dimensions, The Doctor, in his newly regenerated incarnation, along with the help of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, rebuilt her control room from the ground up. The modifications to the console (inspired by the Scream of the Shalka console) allow the original Gallifreyan Technology to still function in this new universe. Many times in between construction, The Doctor would sit next to his bookshelf, or play the piano. These items were left in the control room when the TARDIS managed to successfully travel. The Doctor enjoyed his quiet comforts, until Amber Fox, the Doctor’s friend and traveling companion, brought in her own chair and record player to add some more bounce in his life.
WHAT YOU SEE (Right to Left):
To the right of the doorway, we have a grandfather clock, (the design was inspired by Bevans Bricks). The Doctor found this in a UNIT basement and took it, as it had Gallifreyan writing on a small plaque just under the clock face. This peaked the Doctor’s interest since he is the only Time Lord in this universe.
The entryway was destroyed and had to be replaced. When reconstruction began, the TARDIS, herself, constructed her entrance by attaching herself to the back on the interior of the police box. (Designer's note: the doorway was something I’ve always loved to toy with. I was fascinated with having a whole Police Box interior act as a foyer to the main control room even before it was done in the program!)
To the right, we have a simple hatstand. (Designer’s Note: I am currently adding an umbrella and some hats.)
Above the doorway is the Seal of Rassilon. This was kept from the original control room.
Behind the console, there is a small desk under the scanner. We will get to that in another post. You can just make out a cyberman head.
The Scanner was also kept from the original console, though the screen had to be replaced as it was heavily cracked. Some of the original computers can be seen behind the monitor.
Just across is the doorway to the other rooms in the TARDIS, such as the wardrobe, the library, the swimming pool, and the bedrooms.
A massive thank you to Sam K Bricks for all his help with this build!
