Alright, first major step to building my tardis!
I thought I'd be professional and make a model to show my senior project teacher at our first meeting. All of this was built with cardboard, some crappy scissors, and a very hot and painful glue gun. Not 100% done but I'm definitely getting there!!!!

P.S. Big thanks to Bill for the blueprints; they are absolutely fantastic.

Somehow your post got a bit messed up and only one image showed (many times) but I managed to sort that out.

Some of your pics are upside down, that I cannot fix for you though :)

Nice build, makes me wonder if I should do more of mine, I currently have one side done!
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,

I love the progression - your photos show step by step - My favorite kind of build diary.
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Nice! Is your senior project teacher a Doctor Who fan? I tend to get blank looks when I mention "TARDIS".
I also have a painful glue gun.  Luckily, the skin grows back. Usually.

@rassilonsrod that...is pretty weird but thanks for fixing it. :) and I think it's upside down because I took all of the photos on an iPad... And thanks!

@warmcanofcoke thanks! I actually took a few videos so I can look back on it later when I'm building the real one.

@evilbob my teacher isn't a who fan so when I proposed the idea, he was completely confused and I had to make sure I was prepared with my research and plans before he said yes! And yeah, I have a small bubble on my hand from last night....glue guns are evilllllllllllllll.

@Doctorwho8 I might, my brother really wants it. And I need to clean up the paint. Yet teacher told me to build another model but with techniques I'm going to use so I probably won't get to it until later.

@Yoz heehee thanks :3
