In anticipation of this week's storms I did a spot of quick fixing on my Tardis sturdying it all up including fixing my pull to open sign firmly shut. It made it through last night crossing my fingers over the rest of the week. The last major storms I remember the doors blew open and the wind took the roof off! Now I've got a nice Fresnel on it I don't want a repeat of this kind of thing... Hope your Tardis makes it through with out further incident... (same goes for other UK builders...)

That said, I hope that nothing more drastic happens to it. It's such a great TARDIS.

Roof still on, thank goodness. As you say Manta - fingers crossed for all the outdoor Tardis builds in the UK in this stormy weather.

I am still planning mine (although I have promised myself to buy some of the timber this week!!). I lie the sound of the water-shield rubberised solution for the roof. Is that what others have used too? Also, is it best to start with the base? I am going to make an NST.

Hi Rizla My TARDIS had stood up quite well to living outdoors considering it is made out of cheap pine. I covered the roof with a liquid rubber paint which seems to have worked ok. The frame has stood the storms and the only real problems are the windows (which are out at the moment) just too flimsy and all the glue dried up – my fault, I didn’t make them very well. It is built off the ground on a raised deck - the base is fine. I’m doing a bit of a refurb and remaking the windows and phone panel frame at the moment.

I bet the temptation is there. Fantastic build you have done and its just like a real policebox. Yours seems to be a mixture of the barnet and crich boxes. Well done indeed.

Thanks Avadh It sort of started off Hartnell pilot and went real police boxy with a hint of Cushing. I would like to build another (well, you can’t have too many) but if I do I’d like to build the next one accurate to one design, rather than a mix of styles.
