This is my first post, but Oliver (my son) is desperate that I get this on the TARDIS Builders forum as a build diary, so here we go.

A couple of weeks ago, Oliver decided that he wanted his bedroom door to look like the TARDIS. So, like any nine year old boy he did it the only way he knew - by sellotaping drawings to the door.

This is the result - we'll call it his proof of concept.

This weekend we started to decorate the landing and Oliver was told that he'd have to take all the pictures off his door so we could paint it.  He wasn't impressed by this, so I suggested that we could make it something more permanent.  To my surprise, my wife bought it and told us we could do whatever we wanted, so long as we made a good job of it...  had a quick look on this forum to see what other people had done and immediately rushed to Focus DIY and bought a couple of pack of wood and some blue gloss paint from Wilkos.  I wasn't waiting about for my wife to change her mind.

So, this is what we did this weekend.

Next weekend, we plan to finish the windows and make a start on the Police Public Call Box sign.

Looking good so far. I bet the wife won't let you cut it in half though :p
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Very nice indeed, a much cheaper (and space saving) method of having a Tardis.

Another awesome tardis door. Your kid is lucky to have a dad to do this for them
