Since no one has stated any preferences since the 7th, I'm going to assume the people who were going to "vote" have done so. Of course, threads get "buried" so darned quickly in the Poser forum, it's hard to gather unbiased data. A "sticky" that would have remained on the first page would have garnered more feedback, but alas, we don't have that option. It seems the majority of you want the classic console. Even though it was technically a second prop built for "Claws of Axos", I consider that one used by Pertwee, Baker and to some extent, Davison, as being the "classic" as well. True, there were slight differences, but not nearly as radical as those fomd on the "writing pedestal", the "blinking mushroom of death" or the "steampunk gothic" console. With that in mind, I've attached a WIP image. This is just the basic shape with no components yet added. Except for the cavity for the Time Rotor (which I "Booleaned"), I created the entire thing by extruding and indenting faces from a single six-sided cylinder. Obviously, I can not use this technique with the levers, switches and buttons. Those I will model separtely and "glue" them to the console's surface. BTW, this is a TrueSpace rendering, not Poser. However, as a quick test, I did import an earlier WIP into Poser after I cycled it through UV Mapper. let me know if you think I should change anything. Sincerely, Bill
