Show your Dr. Who props!

Quick question on the original sonic props - we know the War Doctor Sonic was a modified CO toy version, but was the same true about the original River Song sonic?

I recently visited the touring World's of Wonder exhibition and they had the River Song screwdriver that I initially took to be a pro-painted toy version, but then wondered if the original prop had also been a modified CO 10th Doctor toy?
No they were metal and custom made for the show.

Late to the Dr Who fandom but my wife got me hooked recently! Here's my Modified Pen Toy Sonic. I moved the switch to the outside, and blackwashed the main body to age it a bit. Looks more authentic I think!!!

I think I completely forgot to post this here, but those keeping tabs (I did post a thread here somewhere), this is a replica of the original 1963 TARDIS console as seen with Hartnell and Troughton.

It uses the base of the existing console I "curate". Lots of things to actually finish, like replacing the base with the accurate Hartnell one, also finalising the central column.

Maybe one day, when I do pull my finger out or someone swoops in with a solution, the column will actually move.
I did shoot some video of the flashing panels when in progress.


These are filament bulbs that flash on their own, no electronic magic here.
 
Another excuse to show this around - I did consider rewriting a build diary here for completeness but thats all over on the tardisbuilders forum - so here goes instead:

My full size replica of the Paul McGann TV Movie TARDIS. Even approved by the producer Philip Segal, which was nice!
It attended Portsmouth Comic Con this weekend gone and was quite popular, even without lit windows and signboxes - so that was nice! :)

I'm putting some LED's on my PVC version of the Necros bomb. YOUR OPINION PLEASE. What color LED you think I should put in this row of activation lights, White, Blue, Yellow,Green Or Red. By the way the thing in the middle is a bb for added looks.

I need some help with wiring. I made a diagram , but I don't know what resistor values I need for each color on my RGB LED's. Will a 1K work for the spots I selected on the diagram? Will I need more or different resistors? By the way, the LED Latch switches are all ready rated for 12 volts.

That's the best mod for that function I've seen! I have two of these arriving, one being a knock-off from Wish, so I'll probably attempt this on that one.
