Well, let me just say that you have done a FANTASTIC job! I've always wanted to build my own TARDIS, but have just not found the time/space/money

I hope your battle with the boards goes in your favour - you might not like it going Happiness Patrol pink...

Thanks. Hoping to have time in the next few weeks to review and make minor corrections/adjustments.

That's so messed up dude. I hope you win. My reading of #26 seems like you'd be in the clear since.. they didn't get back to you. Of course, I'm no lawyer but I'd say fight it!

Great project, and fantastic Tardis build. Just read through the whole thread.

In light of the problems by your lazy main homeowners association (who should be packed into your Tardis and dropped off at Milliway's), I think your next project should be some kind of slight-of-hand "mysterious removal" mechanism.

Could be a simple as tracks allowing you to bring it into the house at will, or maybe a mirror system set to make it appear to vanish from any vantage point outside your property (i.e. where homeowner spies can see it).

Good luck with the court. They don't have much to stand on, other than annoyance

Notice the sloped roof is peeling up along the edges :-(

I was afraid of that. Thinking out a redesign now. Won't be too hard, as the rest of the TARDIS seems to have held up nicely over the winter, and there is a 3/4" plywood flat roof under the sloped facade roof.

Maybe a rebuild of the roof, and cover it with fiberglass?

Fiberglass would probably be much more weather resistant.

Have you ever considered secretly transporting it to a Ren Faire some time and when people get up out of their tents in the morning they find that there?

That would be hilarious. Nice TARDIS by the way.

LOL, it's too damned heavy. I may make a portable/collapsable one next year though.

I know a guy who went to the PA RenFair dressed as the 9th Doctor, and his blond girlfriend was Rose. They tried to get in using psychic paper, and the girl was very temped to let them in with it... but he paid.

Thanks. I've been a fan since the mid 70's and started with Tom Baker, so I thought this one was appropriate.
