BEHOLD! the endless imagination of what happens when a Dr.Who Fan meets Steampunk!

Oh sure the above may be just CGI, but the real thing is slowly being built!

All of this is the brainchild of one "Douglas442" on live journal who has been working on this for a couple of years.

How is this 'steampunk'? It's BROWN and has BAKELITE SWITCHES. So what? There's a console room made out of fucking WOOD.

At least it appears to have a steam gauge under the counter.

Isn't this pretty much what the TARDIS looks like now?

The current one is a mess of different stuff. This looks like a more boring version of the TV movie (8th doctor) design.

Personally (for the series) I'd like to see a fresh attempt at a futuristic design. Hopefully something a little more radical than the Star Trek iBridge. After all, what will the man-children of 30 years hence fawn nogalistically over if we don't come up with a new look now?

Well, its reminiscent of the current interior, but IIR both the movie version and one of T. Bakers interiors had similar retro elements as well.

Also it had chairs, which was unusual. :)

Posting more content so I hope this is not considered a Necro.
New pictures of this guys work:

Also, for those comparing this to the movie Console, well I had rather forgot just how primitive and boring the Movie Console was.

Compared to what this guy is making, that console looks like it was put together in shopclass.

If I were the BBC, I think the next time that the set needs to be revamped, I'd buy this from him and drop it right in. It is absolutely awesome, and as schizophrenic as the interior of the TARDIS is, it would fit almost perfectly.
