Is that your Tardis' phone in the background? 

(And nice kitchen doors under the sign box!)

I was looking back over your build pictures and I feel this isn't the direction you're going, but if it was, I think you hit of a signal lamp technique no one has done yet:  Put the TARDIS directly under the ceiling lamp and then just have the signal beacon be the ceiling light fixture.

Hi Volpone, that wasn't the plan but it's a brill idea, thanks. At the minute it's now slowly moving into the kitchen because the ceiling is higher so I can make the roof, but eventually it will probably end up back upstairs ....!

Thanks, there is just something about this version that I really like, and to be fair the brachacki prop, remembering being a kid and watching destiny of the daleks probably has a lot to do with it!

You had the same experience as myself there! Ever been to winspit quarry in Dorset, it's a spine tingling experience - I felt very nervous when I was there in 2001, my knees were shaking. I was jittery and a bit scared... Go alone, and it feels like you landed on Skaro and it is truly TRULY amazingly unchanged since the days of Dr Who Destiny Of The Daleks. (Take your TARDIS with you ((or me))  
You'll find yourself jumping off the TARDIS rock like the Doctor and quoting the lines.

It was also Mecron 2 in Blake's 7.

I haven't had anything much to say not being a box builder but I just thought I'd say I'm still watching and it seems to be coming together really well.

It was also in The Underwater Menace

Hi everyone, been a bit busy with the build, have dismantled it from the bedroom and brought it down stairs where there's a bit more room in the kitchen and should be able to do the roof, it's not fixed together properly yet as I'm slowly fitting captive screws with wing bolts, each corner post has got two m12 bolts screwing them to the base (which as it turns out I've made bonkers heavy).



For the piece that sits above the sign box I've made that separate,

And this is a bit more fettling of the top sign,


And this is where I am currently at but it might be slowing slightly now my work has ground to a halt because of the virus and the other half has handed me a list of jobs that need doing......

This is truly wonderful!!! love it!

A thing of beauty. The darker blue looks lovely.

Cheers mate, I was wondering if I was going to paint it a bit lighter but am going to stick with this colour now.

[moonbeam]

just a quick few pictures now I'm starting to fix it together properly, am using captive nuts for the corner post (m12) and m6 for the walls to the corner posts, and a couple of the little mouldings on the top of the corner posts. I am actually meant to be decorating.....

Looking brilliant. I have great affection for the Newbery Box. I was 6 when it first appeared, so it was "my" box. I love the chunkiness of it.
