Hi everyone. I've been watching the new series of Doctor Who and it's inspired me to have another crack at designing my own TARDIS. I've tried this before (see link below) and I kinda liked the results.

Anywho, I thought it was about time for a revamp, so here's my new version.

Anyway, nice work. Good to see an alternative look on the TARDIS thing. Though, I keep wondering if all TARDISes look the same inside. I mean, judging by the changes it underwent from the first Doctor to the tenth (haven't yet seen anything of Smiths new TARDIS), it changes all the time. I ask myself if these changes are the same for all Type 40 TARDISes (or for all TARDISes at all)...
They always have a center console of some sort with a time rotor in the middle of that. The control room has always been just inside the main door although not always with the main door being directly in the wall of the Control room.
There has normally been a single door leading to the rest of the TARDIS, although there were time at the start where it seemed more like a continuation of the control room.
Most have a had a circular wall pattern as their outer walls.
Most have has a hexagonal center console large enough for six people to stand around. Or more importantly about 3 people to work at one station and sill keep their faces in camera.
I like your new design. It has a true otherworldly aspect to the look of it.
Sorry for the delayed response! It's a two-part feature, with issue 420 looking at the role of the TARDIS in the series while issue 421 (the current one) discusses how the set and prop have changed over the years.
