So, In 5th grade I had the idea for a doctor who based webseries. Over the years it evolved, and it may soon become a reality! Of course, I'm going to need a TARDIS... I actually started building it a few months ago, but didn't take pictures  :-[ sorry... anyway here is how it looks nowLe TARDIS.JPG
Its really wobbly, only held together by duct tape... maybe this wasn't such a good idea...
Also, if anyone could tell me where I could get buttons and such, that would be fabulous
Thanks
This is it. My signature. This is my signature. Thats it, the whole thing. Right there.

Make sure to use double corrugated cardboard.  Also glue some folded strips on the inside of where the panels join to help add strength.  As far as controls, check out junked electronics or make them out of cardboard.  That's what I did when I was young. ;)
