2010 NSDW D Prop Wooden TARDIS

Superb work Alex, that model's quality blows the scale model they made for Flatline out of the water.

The grain, the colour, the Police Box signs, the handles... Too many things to compliment. :)
 
Yup,

I agree with all the above & have to add my own applause.

Your work is incredible, all the tiny details perfect.

Bravo!!!!

Man, I gotta tell you. Those photos, if you blind showed me these I'd think they were real. That box is honestly stunning. And very realistic. Well done, mate.
 
Holy crap.  To be honest, I wasn't seeing it in the detail shots.  The wood grain is so pronounced (and large) because it is a scale model.  But those location pics, I agree.  They look like the set production photos we'd see back when they were shooting those episodes.  I can't tell it from the real thing.  Nailed it.
 
It's only a couple of the extreme close-ups, like the lock, where the wood grain gives away the scale of the box - but it's a very minor detail! The rest of the time, the lighting and the location shots really do look full sized.
 
I've never tried to Google my self (this pseudonym) yet, it's fun to see the tardis builder Web site pop up not that far from the top amongst my other stuff X)
Tho in the images section, some tardis pops up, but none of those are mine.

And also à couple of wierd stuff and some random dude that might not understand why there is so much cartoons asociated to his name. IMG_20210515_002610_418.jpg
 
I'm affraid there will be not much stuff going on for a week and a half, inve temporarly moved to get vaccinated and i took off without a box to please my roommate who drove me there.

i'm sorry about that tho i have my entiere pc set up, so i'll still be able to plan future builds.
wich i'm seeing as the NSDW C prop, a late McCoy TWJ and then maybe a custom
 
À couple of photos i left out from the normandy shoot.
Also good news, i might be able to get the box sent were i am right now. Or at least one of them :)
There are some Nice places to do photos so i'm exited about it^^

Hey, i'm having second thoughts on the lamp. At this scale, proportions gets hard to replicate without messing up, and i think i haven't made that good of à job with that part.
What do you think, shall i remake one ?
It's easily replacable,so no problème getting it of the roof and replace it.

1) The photos are so freakin' beautiful.  Beautiful model, beautiful photography.  Almost painfully beautiful. 

2) I could go either way.  Looking at your side-by-side comparison, yes, your lamp is a little thin.  But I'd say the lamp is the hardest thing to spot as being inaccurate (at least if you're doing camera angles like it's a full-sized TARDIS.  The foreshortening caused by perspective goes a long way towards hiding the minor difference.  If you didn't show them side-by-side and at a straight-on shot, I'd never know there was anything wrong with your lamp.  So do you NEED to "fix" the lamp?  No.  But do we continually tweak our TARDISes because we're never happy with them?  Yes.  So it makes perfect sense that you'd want to redo the lamp.

what i'll do is remaking one new and if it's any better, i'll switch. basicaly, like you said, tweaking it.

Also bad news, my roommate forgot to bring back the box to me, so next time i get here, i'll pick it  up my self and do photos with the mignature trees and american cimetary. 
 
Just a little shoot. A few changes since last time, the base as a bit of wear and grim on it to simulate use. I'm still wondering if i should bend the handles to give it the look of use to.
Also the stones logo has been changes and shall change again in the futur.

I've got you some british looking weatherIMG_20210525_214904_432.jpgIMG_20210525_214903_318.jpgIMG_20210525_214901_246.jpgIMG_20210525_214859_951.jpgIMG_20210525_214859_101.jpgIMG_20210525_214856_415.jpg
