Scarfwearer 23/01/2004 Under construction I actually took very few pictures during construction in my garage. I started late 1999 and finished the following summer. Scarfwearer 23/01/2004 It comes apart Fortunately it does a 'mind robber', which is just as well as each of the parts is almost too heavy to move single-handed. Scarfwearer 23/01/2004 Before I moved it I used to have it in the conservatory, but found a new location later that was more practical. Scarfwearer 23/01/2004 Oof! The door arches are heavy! My daughter and I materializing the Tardis in a new location. Scarfwearer 23/01/2004 sign box ends I built these ends to slot behind the sign itself. They just slide out for easy access Scarfwearer 03/05/2004 sign box light You can see the under-counter light in here which lights the sign. I didn't go for the open back idea. Scarfwearer 03/05/2004 Telephone I found this lovely old antique telephone in an antique shop. It's American and probably not quite what you'd find in a police box, but it's got a dial and it works. Scarfwearer 03/05/2004 propped roof I propped open the roof for the next few photos Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 post from above The posts are solid wood and incredibly heavy. I used a 2x4 and a 2x8 screwed together, then clad that with 1x and 1/4 round molding. The side walls are bolted to the 2x8 protrusion from the inside using bolts and those cylindrical furniture fasteners that have a screw thread through the side. Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 top corner and windows You're looking at the side wall in this photo. The small black hole just above and to the left of the door hinge takes a bolt which goes through into a furniture fastener, which is pushed into a hole drilled into the edge of the wall facing the camera. The hole is in a leftward protusion from the door arch. The top piece of the side wall is wider than the wall and extends behind the arch protrusion. The side wall thus has to be lifted over the protrusions when being assembled and will stay together unless the door arches fall over (!) - it did happen once. Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 door inside The door has molding around the inside edge to prevent light escaping when it's lit inside. The duct tape covers a small gap which let the light through. Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 lobby looking out slightly fuzzy picture of the interior of the lobby looking out through the police box Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 looking into lobby View looking into the darkened lobby through the propped open roof Scarfwearer 04/05/2004 Door Closed in Dark Scarfwearer 11/05/2004 Door Open In Dark Scarfwearer 11/05/2004 Lego Tardis A lego TARDIS I built a while back. Scarfwearer 01/09/2004 Darth Vader? Storm trooper? No, just me in my protective gear. It's a pain to wear, but better than the possible alternatives.
