Though the project isn't complete -- they still need to work on the Time Rotor -- it stood out as one of the finest displays of Whomania at Gallifrey One.

The console was showcased in a hotel meeting room throughout the event. For one hour every day, a professional photographer took photos of fans with the prop for free. (There was a tip jar for attendees who wanted to help them finish the project.) By Saturday, they had to turn away people in line because of time constraints.

Whether Salamoff will bring the console to other conventions remains uncertain. He says he would like to have the chance to share his piece with more people, "just to see the joy on people's faces."

He adds, "I'm the luckiest boy in the world."
