Building a TARDIS

So I had this strange idea to build my own TARDIS.


And this isn't it. I'm not sure how mine is going to turn out. I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to building projects. But I think I'm off to a good start.


I built one side of the police call box using 2 x 2s.


I metered the corners and used a nail gun to fasten them together. I then add L-brackets to stabilize and strengthen each corner joint.


The basic frame is a little bit shorter than the actual TARDIS. I wanted to make sure that I could store it in the basement so it stands at 57 inches.


It doesn't look like much now, but it will soon. I hope.

I bought corrugated plastic that I will be using for the walls. I wanted a material that would be light so that I would be able to pick up the completed TARDIS and move it to different locations.

When this project is complete, I am thinking about shooting a Doctor Who fan film. It should be a lot of fun. I just hope the final project looks close enough to the actual TARDIS while being lightweight enough that it is portable.
