[MOC] Doctor Who: The Doctor and the TARDIS

Recommended Posts

This is MOC of November 2014. I tried to build my own TARDIS almost the year before the release of 21304 Ideas set (Andrew Clark's project  was approved in February 2015, and my TARDIS was inspired by his project, which I voted with a great expectations and got my fingers crossed till the results of the 2014 review were announced)

My aim was to build a TARDIS, which CAN open and close the doors. So it doesn't looks well, it doesn't looks like original, but it works! :)

I'm going to return to my project and to represent another characters, including Ood Sigma, the Judoons, Martha Jones, River Song, Amy and Roryand my own Clara (because I don't like her minifigure in the set). Probably I'll also add to this company such characters as Jackie Tyler, Mickey, Sarah Jane Smith and K9. But I need a lot of time and inspiration, so this will happen not in the near future. Perhaps this summer, maybe later)


WARNING: this MOC contain spoilers!

You have been warned by River Song! xD

Because I like to collect the characters of my favorite films, I just could not pass by one of three my the most favorite TV series - Doctor Who) But the Doctor is not the Doctor without his TARDIS, his sonic screwdriver and his trusty friends)

I put some soundtrack music into the text, hope you will like it)))

Murray Gold - Westminster Bridge
The first music heard in the show, it marked the return of the Doctor on TV screens. You can describe it by the first phrase you heard from the Doctor in the new series - "Run!"

doctor_who.jpg


So, who is the Doctor, why no one knows his name, what or who is the TARDIS, and why everyone loves this series? The Doctor - is the (almost) last one of his kind of great and powerful alien race of the Time Lords from the planet Gallifrey. They differ from humans in that they evolved from reptiles, they have two hearts, they live just an incredibly long time (several thousand years), and they can to regenerate up to 12 times, if they are on the verge of death. When regeneration, not only the appearance is changing, but also the personality. The Gallifreyans were smart enough (no one human can live with the knowledge of the Time Lords, our brains too underdeveloped) to come up with the idea to travel in space and time. They invented the time machines called TARDIS - Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Its a live being, so you can't to build a TARDIS, only to grow it. They may take the form of any object through a device called the Chameleon Circuit, but it was broken at Doctor's TARDIS, so it stuck at the form of an police phone box. But the most important thing in this amazing machine is that it's bigger on the inside (than the outside). Much bigger. Definitely. De Lorean from Back in the Future never can be like this))) The Doctor can't say his own name because "one wrong word can change all the time and space". Because he protects the Earth from the scum of the universe better than the Men in Black, it's better to him to keep his real name in secret.
So this cult British sci-fi TV series celebrated more than 50 years and it is firmly inscribed itself in popular culture. It is impossible not to love the show, where you can visit Pompeii, open the London 2012 Olympic Games, to go to the end of time, to live in a parallel universe, to solve a mystery of Agatha Christie, to save the planet from the Daleks, to go to a tour of the planet Midnight (well, what wrong could happen?), go through initiation into the knights and then be exiled, to stuck into the longest traffic jam in the world, to learn that statues are not always stay still, meet a friend of your future, for which your acquaintance is the past, and much more!

Let me introduce the characters to you)

Murray Gold - The Doctor Forever
This theme first heard in the Christmas special of the second season, later used in the third.

h_1416325151_3999675_f9b32b9f9d.jpg

The Doctor can regenerate 12 times, which implies a 13 completely different personalities. Usually, most viewers like that incarnation of the Doctor, whom they saw first. In my case it was Tenth, brilliantly played by David Tennant, so I decided to add him and his companions to my collection first. Tenth Doctor in general appears to us carefree, talkative, good-natured, witty and daring, but he becomes more serious when dealing with enemies. He sometimes also ruthless and dangerous, as well as his seventh incarnation, but has much less tendency to complex schemes and intricate action. Like the Seventh and Ninth Doctor, Tenth sometimes uses a cheerful, energetic appearance to mask true feelings. He loves to talk, always twists important information with complete nonsense to blunt the vigilance of the enemy. Also on occasion he can be rude and cruel, but this incarnation of the Doctor is merciful. His catchphrase - the French expression "Allons-y!", which means "Forward!".


Murray Gold - Rose's Theme
Despite the fact that the first episode of the revived series is named in honor of Rose, a separate theme music for her only appeared in the episode The End of the Worlds.

ten_and_rose.jpg

The Doctor could not stand a thousand years of loneliness, if he didn't have true friends. The first companion of the Ninth and then Tenth Doctor was Rose Tyler, played by actress Billie Piper. Rose Tyler was an employee in a shop in central London, who met the Ninth Doctor during the invasion of Autons. The main track, which she had left after her travels in the TARDIS, is a time paradox which was associated with the words "Bad Wolf". Ninth Doctor and Rose during their travels constantly found these words without understanding what they mean. As it turned out later, trying to save the Doctor from the Daleks, Rose stared into the heart of the TARDIS, becoming the temporary storage of its forces. She gave herself the name "Bad Wolf", because it was a name of corporation where they were, and sent a message to the Doctor and Rose in the past. After destroying the Daleks, she could not restrain the force more and the Doctor absorbed it into himself, resulting in the regeneration of the Ninth to Tenth.

By the way, the stickers on all the characters painted by me, but being based on the already existing and released Lego torsos, that is, in fact, some of the details I just repainted in a different color.

welcome_to_the_tardis_2.jpg

Welcome to the TARDIS!


Murray Gold - Doomsday
This music sounds in the finale of the last episode of the second season - one of the most memorable and recognizable scenes of the series.

doomsday_2.jpg

Reading of this paragraph is not recommended for those who don't like SPOILERS.

Unfortunately, Rose Tyler was locked in a parallel universe, a way to which was finally and completely closed at the same moment when the Doctor with the help of the hologram was trying to say something that  he was going to for a long time... The moment of farewell of Doctor and Rose at the Bad Wolf Bay somewhere in Norway - one of the saddest episodes of the series.

Murray Gold - The Runaway Bride
Music from Christmas special issue of the second season.

ten_and_the_runaway_bride.jpg

Surely writers couldn't finish the second season on such a sad note, and so at the last minute of episode Doomsday some bride  unexpectedly materializes at hanging in a space somewhere in a galaxy far, far away (but not in the Star Wars, of course) TARDIS and she requires the bewildered Doctor immediate explaining how she got here.

h_1416327088_9052367_140abc4fe0.jpg

As it turns on, a bride named Donna Noble was attracted by Huon particles, which her fiance force-fed her, who worked on the aliens. These particles pulled her into the TARDIS.


Donna refuses to continue to travel with the Doctor, so in the third season Martha Jones becomes his companion. Unfortunately, at the time when I was building this MOC, Lego has not released any Afro-American women yet, so I can't portrayed her then. But now I have a Storm from X-Men in my collection, so wait for Martha! :)


Murray Gold - All the Strange, Strange Creatures
Music from the trailer of the third season, then sounded in different series throughout the season.

tenth_doctor.jpg

Speaking of the third season. In one series the Doctor had to temporarily become a man in order to escape from the hunting of the Family of Blood (no, they are not vampires, but they hunted for the Doctor to get his immortality). He did it with the help of an interesting device called Chameleon Arch. All his memories and knowledge of the Time Lords were enclosed in pocket watches, as in the photo above. And yes, sometimes the Tenth Doctor wears glasses, but only in order to appear more smart. Although no one can be smarter! :)
And once again we are talking about the Doctor, it is impossible not to mention his famous gadget - sonic screwdriver.

sonic_screwdriver.jpg

Sonic screwdriver is not a weapon. This is a complex instrument with many functions, the most famous of which - the opening of locks by a power of a sound wave. You can read about other functions here.

This is how it looks in the TV series (but in fact it's a photo of a toy):

h_1416328824_8815669_4b4d30fd7c.jpg


In the fourth season Donna returns and becoming my favorite character in the Doctor Who universe)


Murray Gold - Donna's Theme
The composer wrote a new theme for the triumphant return of Donna.

ten_and_donna_1.jpg

Donna Noble is a secretary from Chiswick, played by actress Catherine Tate, not just back, but also independently find the Doctor - and it is not the thing that everyone can do!
She has a quick temper, and more independent than other companions.

h_1416385948_3798542_59f9a0f244.jpg

Another view.

ten_and_donna_2.jpg

One critic wrote that Donna Noble acts as the "conscience of the Doctor" and stands out against the background of all the other companions of the Doctor, because "she does not need to be saved", and she never asks,"What is it, Doctor?". Critics also praised the fact that there was no love theme in a relationship of the Doctor and Donna. In addition, Donna can easily put boasting time traveler to the place:
The Doctor: [stepping out of the TARDIS] Ah! Smell that air! Grass and lemonade! And a little bit of mint. Just a hint of mint. Must be the 1920s.
Donna: You can tell what year it is just by smelling?
The Doctor: Oh, yeah.
Donna: Or, maybe, that big vintage car coming up the drive gave it away.
The dialogue between Doctor and Donna in the episode The Unicorn and the Wasp.

ten_and_donna_3.jpg

I made few different stickers for Donna. I'm going to make new stickers for Rose as well in the future.

Murray Gold - Life Among the Distant Stars
Very beautiful theme dedicated to the amateur astronomer Wilfred Mott.


ten_and_wilfred.jpg

In the first episode of the fourth season also appears Donna's grandfather Wilfred Mott, played by actor Bernard Cribbins. Unlike many people on Earth, Wilfred was ready to believe that the aliens will one day come to the world, and that humanity will eventually travel to the stars and to communicate with aliens. In the evening, he comes to the hill with a telescope to watch the stars.

h_1416385923_1581965_fddb554cb0.jpg

In the special of the fourth season Wilfred was a temporary companion of the Doctor and played an important role.

Murray Gold - The Doctor's Daughter
According to the composer, this series is not possible to come up with a slogan better than "Hello, Dad"

ten_and_jenny_1.jpg

In one series of the fourth season the TARDIS brings the Doctor, Donna and Martha on the planet Messaline, where there was a war between humans and fish-headed humanoids. Against the will of the Doctor some machine took a sample of his DNA,  the genes were shuffled together, and they've got a clone - Jenny, the Doctor's "daughter", played by actress Georgia Moffett. Despite the fact that she was raised for the war, she is still very cheerful.

The Lone Dalek
Although initially this music was written for an episode The Lone Dalek of the first season, it was used as an additional theme for Rose later.

journeys_end_1.jpg

Reading of this paragraph is not recommended for those who don't like SPOILERS.

In the epic and grand finale of the fourth season the Daleks stole an Earth and another 26 planets, and placed them to the Medusa Cascade. They also captured the TARDIS, the Doctor and all his companions, including Rose Tyler, who managed to escape from a parallel universe, because of the actions of the Daleks the borders of the worlds starts to collapse. Due to biological meta-crisis of the severed hand, which the Doctor lost during the Christmas special of the first season, increased his clone - Meta-Crisis Doctor with all the knowledge and memories of the original Doctor, but turned out to be half man. He destroyed the Daleks, and as the punishment for this genocide was to be sent to a parallel universe, which starts to close again. And Rose, unfortunately, also can't leave the parallel universe, so the characters met again at the Bad Wolf Bay to say farewell forever.

h_1416397587_5574081_22fc8e06bd.jpg

The Doctor: We've got to go. This reality is sealing itself off, forever.
Rose: But, it's still not right, 'cause the Doctor is still you.
The Doctor: And I'm him.
Rose: All right, both of you, answer me this: When I last stood on this beach, on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said to me? Go on, say it.
The Doctor: I said "Rose Tyler".
Rose: Yeah? And how was that sentence gonna end?
The Doctor: Does it need saying?
Rose: And you, Doctor, what was the end of that sentence?

Murray Gold - The Greatest Story Never Told
In general, it is a theme of the first appearance of River Song in the fourth season, but I like it a lot, so I just put it here)

Here it is, a world-famous British police telephone box!

h_1416406115_8161892_f1138951ce.jpg 

tardis_2.jpg 

All stickers for the TARDIS were drawn from scratch by me.

tardis_3.jpg 

tardis_4.jpg 

The basic design of my TARDIS is inspired by the work from Lego Ideas, especially AndrewClark2's. But my know-how is the doors? which can open and close. However, in fact, they should open inward, but the design does not allow me to do so. My TARDIS is a bit disproportionate relative to the minifigures because of the need to create a functioning door.

tardis_5.jpg 

If you look inside the TARDIS, you can see its core and center console, as in this picture.

Here you can see heavy paper insert.

A picture on insert were drawn by me - partly at Photoshop, partly by pencils.

tardis_9.jpg 

So we looked at TARDIS outside, we can move now to its central room - the console room.

Murray Gold - This Is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home
The composition is dedicated to Doctor's home planet - theGallifrey, locked in a trap of the Time War. 

tardis_console_room_4.jpg 

The TARDIS have a lot of different rooms, but most of the scenes of the series is featured console room from which you can control the movements of a time machine.

h_1416406805_2978895_34466fcc10.jpg 

In different seasons TARDIS interior design has changed, so the console of the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor is particularly different from the Ninth and Tenth consoles, which I took as a basis. Unfortunately, I could not get with a drawing of coral background, but in general, I think, it works.

tardis_console_room_2.jpg 

TARDIS inside door is looks mirror reflection the door outside.

The central part of the TARDIS consists of the center console and the time column.

tardis_-_core_1.jpg 

TARDIS time column keeps the energy due to which the time machine can operate.

tardis_-_core_2.jpg 

The design of the main consoles I took from The TARDIS Handbook. Although there are depicted the console of Eleventh Doctor, to build them from Lego is quite difficult, so they just served as an example of console design.

tardis_-_core_3.jpg 

TARDIS when flying often shakes, because it must be controlled by six pilots (according to the number of consoles) but has to be controlled by one Doctor as only he knows for what all these unthinkable buttons are intended.

h_1416408024_9774230_38019862bd.jpg 


On the helm console placed steering mechanism with eyepiece and time rotor handbrake.

To the right of it (or counterclockwise) is a navigation console, on which time and space forward/back control and directional pointer are placed.

tardis_-_navigation_console.jpg 

To the right of it is a diagnostic console, on which quantum foam manipulators, bunsen burner and organic diagnostic are placed.

tardis_-_diagnostic_console.jpg 

Between the previous and next console is the monitor placed. Image on it was took from an episode Stolen Earth.

tardis_-_monitor_screen.jpg 

To the right of it is a communication console, on which voice recorder, analogue radio waves detect/monitor/change, scanner/typewriter and an analogue telephone are placed.

tardis_-_communications_console.jpg 

To the right of it is a fabrication console, on which materialise/dematerialise fabrication and fabricated dispenser are placed.

tardis_-_fabrication_console.jpg 

To the right of it is a mechanical console, on which engine release lever,locking down mech and gyroscopic stabilizer are placed.

The TARDIS also have two assitional consoles - left and right.

Murray Gold - The Dark and Endless Dalek Night

Music that accompanied the Dalek invasion in the fourth season.

the_daleks.jpg

The Daleks are the main enemies of the Doctor, armored beings, devoid of all emotions, but hatred, dreaming to become the only race in the universe. Their catchphrase is "Exterminate!". Daleks of different eras differ by color. I made a small squad of the Time War Daleks.

The Cybermen theme from the first season.

the_cybermens_1.jpg

The Cybermen are humans who have put their brain and central nervous system in a robot's body. However, they are deprived of all the emotions and also tend to turn all the humans into Cybermen. Their catchphrase is "Delete!".

Murray Gold – Blink (Suite)

Music from an episode Blink - the first episode in whch the Weeping Angels are appeared.

weeping_angels.jpg

The Weeping Angels are quantum-locked beings, which means that they turn to the stone statues when someone looks at them. If no one is watching, they move very fast. That is why they hide their faces, as if they saw each other, they turn to a stone forever. If Weeping Angel touches a living being, it will go into the past, and will live there until his or her death, without the possibility to return to his or her life at nis or her own's century, with the Angel gets power of all the days that his victim could live. The only way to escape from them - not to blink.

So I'm confused. You can't blink and you can't look at them?

I've never been able to get into the show, but I've only attempted the Christopher Eccleston series and that was horrible.

Anyway, the MOCs look great. You seem to have captured the scenes quite well and I can see you love the series very much. Kudos.

 It´s due to the way they resist, and defend themselve. Whenever someone look´s at them, they turn into stone. 
If you are their target, they will approach you everytime you look away, or blink.
 

Hope it make´s more sense now :P

Sorry for the late reply.

KlodsBrick, thanks! I hope to upgrade this MOC at the next year with new characters.

 

TheLegoDr, thank you very much.
