1/6 scale TARDIS--image heavy

A project I have been working on awhile, mostly made out of balsa wood...



I added some "real" cables to give the backdrop a little more of a 3d feel...



The windows are plexi, on their back side I attached a transparency printout of an actual screen grab of Tardis windows, (backed by opaque mylar), to give them some texture.




The two doors and the phone door are hinged with a rod-and-socket thing I jimmied up out of bits and pieces.



Phone is balsa with some little bits made out of Sculpey. It's a little rough, but "it's not a real phone!"



The lantern glows white all the time (as it does when the Tardis is "parked") but I also cannibalized a toy I had and rigged up a switch so that you can trigger a glowing blue light accompanied by the Tardis materialization "roar". If the peak on the roof seems just a tad too pronounced, it's because there's a lot of stuff crammed in under there.



Backdrop is just a large printout of course, the trick there was to bend it around and trim it down so interior lighting could still shine out side windows.
 
I think I am in love....


I was introduced to both Torchwood and Dr Who this year and I must say I love them both. My custom Star Wars costumes all use my sonic screwdriver as an odd accessory and I love it when people recognize it.

Great work and "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
