Torchwood TARDIS

[torchwood]

So I am starting out using the Plans posted from the Dr. who experience. Sadly it's 10 feet in height. Lucky for me i haver a 7.5 foot celling. So I have started reducing it's size by 25%. This was heart breaking to say the least since I wanted it to scale. But I just finished the plans for the base "well mostly" and wanted to share them and see what you all thought.

Would you like a copy of my plans with some measurements?  It's pretty close to the blueprints, but made to conform to normal inches rather than metric.  Might save you some trouble.

I jumped back in time and sent it a little bit ago.

Which on-screen Tardis does this correspond to? I can see that the dates are for 2004/2005, but it looks thinner than the box which was used for Christopher Ecclestone. The panels appear to be 435mm high by 410mm wide, which makes then taller than wide. I think the Ecclestone Tardis panels are wider than tall? I'm no expert, so hopefully somebody can correct me.

The doors have narrower panels than the sides on the original Series 1 props.  The plans have all 4 sides with the wider panels.  Subsequent boxes from Series 4 onwards have the narrower panels on all four sides.

Here it is the reduced Tardis it's 25% smaller making 7.5 feet high.

Trouble is with a direct scaling of 75% is that the door winds up being only 5'2" tall.

Sigh your right I guess I just don't have the room for it,

I managed in similar space by reducing the size of the base and all the elements above the door until I hit on a combination I found aesthetically appealing -- and still had a door I didn't have to crouch to get into.

[torchwood]

Do you still have the plans lol and if so can u email them to me

[deck5]

Not sure if I have the spreadsheet still -- but anyway you may want a slightly different look.  My method was to figure out how tall I wanted the doors, and then figure out what was left over, and divide it up accordingly.  I did a few drawings/renders to see if I liked the results before I started building.  You can see the efforts/results in my profile.

Yours did come out really well :p
