Quote from: chrisrowand board=build thread=1185577834 post=1191143620Atomicgraph thats a lovely looking box you have made yourself. I particularly like the white box photos. Mine was primed in white as well. I actually like the white look and think they should all be that colour. It would end the debate over which shade of blue. Or would it?....
Mmmm is it frosted white or pepper white??? No it's its arctic white of course.
thanks chris, i'm very happy with it and the kids are gonna flip out when they see it, they were excited when i hung the doors with all the handels on it. you are 100% right about the debate so i'll go ahead and take the liberty of ending here it is frosted white , with pepper white over sprayed, and then arctic white lightly washed over some of the surface  ;D ;D ;D

Upon seeing this picture, my first thought was:  That guy is huge!!!  Somehow I'd missed/forgotten that this isn't a full size build.

I'm guessing by the panels that its a New Series TARDIS. But for some reason (maybe the lack of windows or signage) I get the feeling of a Newberry build...

its a hybrid, when i scaled it down i had to make it wide enough for our tv and tall enough to fit in our house. i like all the lines of the older boxes so after i started thats what i tried to duplicate. hows my blue?

Absolutely Brilliant work atomicgraph. Very season 18 like from what I can see and the shade of blue looks great as well.

hello again, i picked up some more of that light diffuser for my windows. when my buddy came over to paint he told me how to cut it so it doesn't crack and fly into pieces a laughed at me when i told him i tried to cut it with a skill saw. use a straight edge and line it up where you need to cut and clamp it down.

then "score" it along the edge of the straight edge. using a tool similar to this

tool.jpg

you may need to do it a few times i'm pretty sure you could use a box cutter to but this tool has a nice little angle on the end.

then take a small edge and place it on the under side. press down at one edge to cress the glass. it's pretty easy.

... and i picked up my signs today :)

signs.jpg a guy i know started up a sign shop about a year ago and he did them for me. i got all 4 for $50.00.

this is what they will look like lit

thank you sir. i think i'm gonna keep with my tradition of inaccuracy and make the door sign white, but i made a blue copy as well. once i get it all together again, i guess i'll make that call.

The blue is awesome :)

Actually I'm kinda used to seeing the Newbury with square panels, cos when I moved here I couldn't find the TV remote for ages and all my videos were stretched into widescreen :)
