Yesterday I decided to drag the T55 outer plasmic shell out of storage ,I was delighted to find that its stood up to the winter pretty well , the central door and 2 of the front uprights had warped slightly,but were soon repaired with 3 lengths of 7mm x 4mm rough cut wood ,I now intend to repaint and refurbish the whole assembly and add a few touches not available to me on the original build,the fun of building a plain shell is that,that's how Tardis`s look when the chameleon circuit is switched off ,and with a bit of video trickery Our Tardis has been a shed a grandfather clock and a large cupboard ( Its yet to be a police box,any offers ?)the T55 style is similar to the the Tardis`s seen at the end of the war games,and the SIDRAT (space and inter dimensional robotic all-purpose transporter,according to Terrance Dicks) I know its not a true Tardis build in the literal sense of the word but it is Fun !!b4 t55.JPG  Ill keep you informed of my progress.after.JPGsidrat -tardis.JPG
so let me get this straight,A thing that looks like a Police box standing in a junkyard,It can move anywhere in Time and space ?

I know it doesnt look much different,but it is ! the shell is now grey.On the original build i added small casters into the base which allow the shell to be moved around on a flat surface ,Makes it easier when you want to do De-mat effects.

I only just found this thread, and I must say it's pretty damn cool. I was tempted to do one of these myself. Very nice indeed.

Thanks rocket , I`m currently planning a Rani style cupboard for the T55 to morph into.
