TARDIS Shower

[madwomanwithboxshower]

Two sides are now up permanently!!

We also spoke with the electrician today aka construction supervisor's BFF. Loved his ideas. With the shower head opposite the door he suggested putting up two weatherproof cage lights, one each on the left and right. The switch will be kept dry by putting it inside the "phone box" in the left door panel. And as Dino suggested the light on top will be on the same switch so it can serve as an "occupied" light.

I hadn't really thought about "the look" of the interior but with the cage lights and exposed cooper with industrial valves we are planning for the water it's going to have a very modern Doctor Who-ish streampunk look.

And look it's a very bad picture of me with power tools!

And Then There Were Three.


I love this picture, it looks like it's about to take off.

This is really a neat use for a tardis. Eveything is lookin great. I'm lookin forward to seeing it all finished.

Looks great!  How will you do the top signs?

How will you do the top signs?

More molding pieces will go on the corners and instead of taking the boards off and routing them out I think we're going to place the decals behind plexiglass then frame them out and caulk it all well. 

I bought the decals from Outlaw http://www.outlawcustomdesigns.com/. I realize the font might not be perfect for this model but I'm okay with my TARDIS being a homage to more than one model. I love both the old and new.

I'm with you there.  How do the decals look?  Their website shows a white background and black text.

Here are pictures. You can get them printed in several ways. The decals themselves seen fine but they we're packed and shipped by a disgruntled chimpanzee. They should be fine if we take our time smoothing them on. The door decal lettering is transparent. The St. John is also a little too big. I'm not sure I'll use it.

If you want to use a St. John logo (Matt Smith version?) and you have a print shop nearby that can print a sticker for you from either a JPG, BMP, or MS Word document, shoot me a PM. I created both the simplified Hartnell and the Smith versions in this thread http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=1123.75 (correct as possible Smith version at the bottom of the page). I'd be happy to send you the files so you could get the logo printed at the correct size.

Dino.

Thanks Dino. I may be in touch when it gets closer to time to apply them.

We have the roof! I posted a picture under workshop but wanted to post it here too for consistency.


I've also been thinking about landscaping around my TARDIS since it isn't mobile.
Like maybe English Roses


or this lovely statue

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Don't Blink!!!!!

[warmcanofcoke]

no really, fantastic start - the roses look great and the statue is a good touch. can't wait to see the completed effect.

Any chance of posting a cut list or specs? We're wanting to build this for a camp shower

I'll talk to the construction supervisor (hubby) and see if he has anything. The TARDIS part is basically the Bachacki prop specs with all treated lumber, 6x6 posts and a decking base. We haven't gotten to the pluming part yet. I think that's all still in his head. But I'm keeping up with everything and might have something when we're done.

Lots of rain lately has cut into the TARDIS building. But there has been some progress.

The top is done and ready for the roof to be permanently affixed and painted.


The bottom panels that will be screened for shower reasons have been framed in to look finished.


The windows have been given a coat of Olympic exterior satin in starry night (is that a perfect color name or what!) to seal it. Next step there is be to paint window trim I have white and get it up.


I'm also very excited about the giant 9" rain shower head I bought. I think it has a very gallifreyan look to it.


Hopefully the door will get up this weekend while I'm framing the windows.

This is one fast build....  I admire your dedication and it puts me to shame!
