1983/85 Doctor Who Fan Club of America TARDIS Models

And the final product:


The glue still wasn't dried when I took these and I also need to throw another clear coat on her to seal everything up. Overall I pleased with the result. For a cardboard model it's feels pretty solid. There's some warpage on the base but it wasn't a deal breaker. It still looks nice alongside the others in the growing TARDIS model collection! Lol!

Then it was onto the cardboard and balsa one.

For this one, I was determined to not mod anything out and do it exactly to the instructions using only the supplied material. It suggested that you paint each part as you build. I used Floquil dark blue 130050. The only problem is that they discontinued this color so I bought three more cans online just in case since I bought the last can at my hobby store.

Overall it went together really nice. The cardboard was thick enough to be sturdy and with some wood glue it held together amazing as I built and painted.

The cardboard soaked up the paint really nicely. Each piece has about three coats of the color with a final clear coat. They felt really substantial when it came time to assemble.

Hi, saw this do you still have instructions for this. If so can you show because I have that kit without instructions please thanks
