Amazing work!
I remember watching this era of Doctor Who in rerun on PBS when I was a kid.

i don't know if I'm the first to notice this, but that kind of looks like the Starfleet insignia.

It Does! :confused
That is awesome! Great work so far!
Thanks all.
It is built to come apart for transport, yes - and spends much of its time in that state at the moment, sadly.
And it is pretty heavy, yes. It's mainly ply construction, and to keep the strength, I haven't drilled holes to cut down on the weight. It's still possible for one person to carry each of the chunks fairly comfortably, though.
Currently it consists of the six panels; two baseboards; the column; the column collar; two plinth halves; six support spurs; and eventually six panel edges. This is before adding an internal mechanism to drive the column, as well.

Well - a little more work on the TARDIS console here:
Still more to do. The reverse is still unclad and unpainted, and the column needs its acrylic cover, and its mechanism. Also need to make more panel dividers, and finish controls on two of the panels. Getting there though...
