A Met Box Build

[Andrew Harvey]

Awww! She is looking lovely. You seem to get very nice skies wherever it is you live. The one with the box's doorway taped over is particularly nice!!

Thanks, the weather is normally gloomy but we've been lucky with the sun this year.

Great work.
Loving the K.9 & Dalek photobomb, too!

Very quick post but I picked up some brass screws today so I can finally put the door handle back on...



It's a little thing that took 30 seconds to fit. But for some reason it does make me happy....

Todays progress...

Replaced the last remaining window and repaired the phone sign...















That's the last of the fiddly stuff done. Now all that remains is to get it covered in blue paint!!

I hadn't noticed that you used the Hartnell font before.  You've got such an interesting box.

Call me crazy, but there's something charmingly 'authentic' about the weathered blue writing that I really like.

Awww... you noticed....

The phone sign font and size is about the limit of the resolution of my vinyl plotter, and sone of the letters such as the 'S' and 'O' wound up with sections missing so some of them are composites; however I though it would look good to leave a few letters distressed....

"River! Make it blue again!!!"

Finally finished (mainly...)















(Sorry, I couldn't resist a couple of posy pictures...)

I just had another peep on here and saw these! I actually vocalized a big 'Oooooo!' Proper job on that one! She looks great! You should have worn your best frock coat for the 'posey' ones as you call 'em!
  Superb.
 Which Time and Place are you headed for?

Thanks Andrew, I'm really pleased with the results - hopefully she will stay dry now and last another decade!

Anywhere that isn't the UK in the present day...

  Hilarious! I recommend the weather in the early Jurassic. Sun, sea, a tropical archipelago rich in interesting life forms! Not a Dalek in sight!
  Right on,
