The "War TARDIS"

(Modifying an electronic "Flight Control" TARDIS)

When I heard that Character Options would be releasing a limited edition "War Doctor" (or as they call him, The Other Doctor ) in their 5" figure range, I thought wouldn't it be cool if you could convert one of the electronic TARDISes into the one that John Hurt is seen operating in the 50th Anniversary Special "The Time of the Doctor".  How difficult would it be?

Well there's 3 main considerations here:

  1. 1. The outside of the War TARDIS  appears to be the same as the one used by the 9th & 10th Doctors, only with some severe scarring and dirt.

  2. 2. The lamp appears to be the older "fresnel" with support struts, unlike the "bird feeder/lantern" of Eccleston & Tennant's TARDIS.

  3. 3. The console room is a mixture of Eccleston/Tennant console with a backdrop of "classic" roundels.

So can I do it.

1. It's just dirt and scuff marks. I could paint that on.

2. Hmmmm.  I have a plastic fresnel with struts that I could possibly replace the bird-feeder with.

3. http://themindrobber.co.uk has just posted a very nice render of the "Hurt" console, as seen in the series. 

In short, Yes. 

Let's Go!
