Hi All
I've now done most of the repair and rebuild on the TARDIS kit that I acquired last year. It was in a poor state (having been shipped in the post and damaged some time in the 1990s). It's *not* screen accurate and I didn't expect it to be - but I'm happy with how it's coming along. Still need to get a flashing light circuit sorted and maybe interior wall circles. I'm currently using it as a guitar cupboard :)PXL_20230813_085930226V2.jpgPXL_20230818_175112404_V2.jpgPXL_20230922_182240562_V2.jpgPXL_20231012_174741881_V2.jpgPXL_20231012_174741881_V2.jpgPXL_20240413_173955640_V2.jpgPXL_20240413_174135583_V2.jpgPXL_20240413_182441083_V2.jpgPXL_20240331_123411741_V2.jpg

Very nice!

I use a rechargeable led bulb with remote control for my light- you can also make it flash. It's a quick and simple solution.

The "round things" (Roundels) can be purchased as a tapestry or a shower curtain from Redbubble- I used two tapestries stitched together.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. Re the light - what one did you get and would I have to build a circuit? I have *ZERO* ability to do soldering etc!!!

BTW does anyone know why my pictures seem to be greyed out? I made sure they were below the file size limit.

You have to upload the images and then attach them too. It is a bit long winded, but it soon becomes an unconscious act!

No wiring or soldering at all- this is what I use:

Thanks - photos now sorted.

Apparently this was one of 12 kits made. Does anyone know if any of the others still exist?
