The TARDIS Venture Part 2

Our first order of business is the console. It's the most important part of the entire TARDIS, so naturally it's the first part we have to construct. Never mind the fact the construction crew have never built such a vessel before and it might be best to give them a bit of practice on ooh, say the supporting structure or main platforms, rather than the part of the TARDIS designed to house the most delicate equipment, not least the area in which the heart of the TARDIS is kept. Y'know, that thing that if it explodes could cause the end of the universe?

Not to mention if the Doctor is quite happy to hit said console with a hammer, it better be durable. Oh well...



Getting the first part out is simple enough, but it turns out there's a lot of delicate inserts that have to be removed. We decide to bring in the pick-axes and pneumatic drills for the job.



The next part is to make this flat section into a hexagonal tube, and then slide into it four panels that only fit onto cubes.

Wait, what?

It turns out, after consulting the design plans once more, that the additional flaps must be folded inwards in order to make the required shape, but personally I can see no reason for this whatsoever. It's probably some Gallifreyan thing. The axle complete, the men fit on the panels.



It's a delicate operation, but the men work into overtime to get it done. And at the end of our first full days work we have...an axle with brightly coloured panels sticking through it.

I'll wait for the finished product, but for now I think these Time Lords might be taking the piss...
