Doctor Who: Parallel World Transporter I was commissioned to make a replica of the dimensional jumper from the Doctor Who Series Four episode "Journey's End". This was an updated design of the device from "Doomsday".



I started with a block of Basswood and shaped it on the lathe. Here it is with a coat of primer.



The basswood is soft enough that I could hand carve out a section for a block of maple.



I used tin snips to cut the metal "tongue" out of an old hard drive sled.



I chucked 1/2" dowels into the drill press to make a "poor man's lathe". I shaped the pegs with files and sandpaper.



I cut a small piece of styrene to form the bridge connecting the two rings.



I attached some scrap plastic to a lathe faceplate and very carefully scribed the center disc lines.



A test fit of the peg.



All the parts finished and ready for painting!



The final assembled prop. The center yellow is a florescent yellow that hopefully will look lit up under a camera flash.



Side view showing its dimension.



It fits pretty comfortably in your hand. Eat this, Davros!
