The grey cylinders: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/uR1y_ahlsug/maxresdefault.jpg

I Posted a discussion similar to this one. Doctor Matt replied saying that it is not hard to model, but its the texturing that is hard. He said it may be possible but unlikely that this model will be created. Im glad that someone else wants to make it noticed thought.

Just saying.. The Cylinder is what it disguises as when it lands for maintenence at gallifrey... There is no literal physical appearence of The Tardis... The inside is another dimension and the outside is just a temporal portal to that dimension that is in constant flux..

I don't see why there wouldn't be. The vast majority of Time Lords don't do anything close to what the Doctor does, so I doubt they'd be using the Chameleon Circuit very often. I'm pretty sure that is the default shape, or as close to one as it can have. (Don't TARDIS with working Circuits appear in Classic Who, and look like the cylinder?

If you had a default undisguised tardis then it would have to match the inside of the tardis which is infinite soooo.... Its just a portal and the Chameleon circut just makes an object for that portal to be on.. The Eye Of Harmony powers the ability for the portal to work.. That being said, when the tardis is off it does not matter.. The Eye Of Harmony will still be on.. There is no turning off a star locked in a decaying state..

As well as they would not have to say "Hey lets use the circuit" It would auto engage..

actually, the original default shape was not cylindrical. i'm unsure whey they changed it. tardises used to be boxes with a weird sliding door thing on the front

go check out the last few episodes of "The War Games" to see them

however, it had been around 200 years since the doctor had last been on gallifrey, so it is quite possible they were using newer models by the time he returned, hence the new shape.

These are actually SIDRAT (tardis backwards) they dont travel in time but are bigger on the inside and fly in physical space, these were made by a time lord called The War Chief

I've heard of the SARDIT, but not the SIDRAT.

SIDRAT's actually COULD travel in both time and space, and were modeled after the original Gallifreyan TARDISes. Also, in the last episode of The War Games, you can see rows of square shaped timeships docked in a line on Gallifrey. The SIDRAT was the War Chief's inferior version and was constructed off-planet, so the Time Lords would not have had any in their possesion. They can, therefore, only be TARDISes.

The tardis can also travel in time and space.. The SIDRAT was used more for war.. But then again you then run into the problem that there is a war tardis as well, Used to house and launch Time missles and such.
