Description The placement will probably change, I'd suspect.

An update on a project I'm working on; thought it might be good to place this up, before the final stages.

I cut the shape with a small grinding wheel; the constellation was done with a drill lightly hitting the piece, and I used a ruler and a hobby knife to make the lines.

.. I wish I had a TARDIS key.
If I'd known about Doctor Who in seventh grade, I could've made one! We carved moulds with some kind of chalky stuff (... no idea what it was. can't remember) and made pewter pieces. ^_^

y'know, i'd probably leave it clear X3 i actually have the same Baker key in pewter you and the other person here mentioned. aaaaaaand, i'll be getting the old school Yale key in the mail soon. solid steel. what i'm going to do is file the markings off to match the one Pertwee had in his run. i recall seeing some good pics of it in Spearhead from Space. true it won't be 100% accurate, but it'll be very close i expect. ^_^

Same with the YALE I have; not quite the same, but close enough for me.

Police-Box-Traveler In reply to Carthoris [2008-08-13 23:49:11 +0000 UTC]

oh yes. thing is, the one i have was more of a mass produced piece...it's technically good but it's the same one as any other this person makes...there no personal touch either...it definately has all the signs that no great care was put into the craftsmanship.


yours on the other hand is very well thought out planned and executed. i rather love the final results. you REALLy put your own personal touches on it. lol, that's one reason i wanted to offer money for it. i hope you'll at least let me pay to ship it.

TheNeutralSaint In reply to Carthoris [2008-08-09 00:31:45 +0000 UTC]

Nope... I feel like I don't want to spend money on something that''s not real. I mean, if there was a TARDIS at my disposal and there was an actual key they were selling online that worked for real TARDIS's, then yes... I would buy one...

I'll probably get one when I get disposable money...

Carthoris In reply to TheNeutralSaint [2008-08-09 13:42:10 +0000 UTC]

My first one came from when I joined the club years ago, when I had a little extra money.

So long ago, it seems now...
