Quote from: don on Apr 19, 2012, 02:45 pmThanks guys. Yeah, I'm very happy with it. I love it. I was just looking for constructive criticism. It's the first time I've built one and I build Knight Rider replicas for a living and I know how, should I say, "detailed" replica builders can be. ;D

Hey Dino, you're in Va. beach area? I'm down south of Roanoke Va.

The advantage with The TARDIS is that (I'll avoid the hated term 'canonically') - it is constantly shifting Police-Box-esk form and pretty much anything goes and could be legitimate.  In it's own sentient way it is as if the TARDIS is obsessed with finding as many ways possible to NOT be an accurate Police Box. And I think many of us love it for precisely this reason!

Unless you are stating that you are trying to replicate the prop from a precise story, the multiple props have been bashed, repaired, altered, repainted so many times, and none of them have been accurate to any of the (equally diverse) London Metropolitan Police Boxes - or at least, not that we can evidence!

I am well aware KITT from Knight Rider also has a number of incarnations/oddities/inconsistencies, but I think the TARDIS takes the biscuit in this regard.  Your TARDIS looks fantastic, and an improved version of the Eccleston/Tennant-era TARDIS prop - if that was what you were aiming for!
