It will become a bookcase in the bedroom of my daughter: two months of work, simple and inexpensive, fairly accurate although not as much as the original, but effective in conveying the spirit of the TARDIS. Built in time for Lucca Comics & Games 2014 festival, but not exposed due to no parking space available.

EDIT I tried again the following year and finally the Tardis landed in Lucca, outside the walls in front of "Porta San Donato", during the Lucca Comics 2015 festival (the girl in yellow is a passing cosplayer)

Very cool! Nice printing of the console room for the backdrop as well.

Loving this one.
Really nice, clean lines. I think it looks very accurate, & in two months!
I'm really impressed!
Is it full size or slightly scaled down?

Thank you!
It's a full scale replica of Bill Rudloff's 2005-2010 Tardis Plan.

EDIT: I apologize but it's slightly scaled down cause to fit the height of my flat.

Just read your profile- clocked the name of course, but didn't at first realise you were actually over in Italy!
I'm part Italian on my mothers side (my Gran was Laida Romiti from Senagalia.)
Never actually been, though, which is an oversight I hope to rectify before I cop it & get turned into a Cyberman!!!
Hope the weathers a bit better over there!

Place for reading and relaxing as expected, now with the interior LED lighting and "breathing" 55-watt (12V) halogen lamp on the top light.

Lovely build Giovanni! Can anyone combine the top two pictures in this post? You could then have the Tardis materialising next to the wardrobe!

why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Since I got inspired by warmcanfoke's picture,
I was so kind and made a video for you.
If you are planning on starting a series or using your TARDIS for a video,
you can always feel free to ask me to do the editing ;D

Note: The video is set to "not listed" only people with a link can see it, which you can find down below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3bXQIF4Xg&feature=youtu.be

If you want it to be public, let me know, otherwise it stays unlisted.

Sincerely

I know this thread has been quiet since April (aside from Renegade's new post), but I thought I'd mention this hint.

Renegade, if you use the "Tube" button (second one in from the left, just above the Smileys), and place your URL in between the [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] brackets that appear, then your link will look like this:



This way members can see your work without having to leave the Forum. (And don't worry; I'm not posting that link anywhere else. If you want to keep the link private, then that's how you'll keep it. It is your link after all, and no one else's.)

Thank you Renegade for this amazing video! Well done and no problem at all about making it public all across time and space  ;D

Hopefully some day soon my back will let me get started building a TARDIS. When I see builds and posts like this one, I want a TARDIS so baaaad!

I built my Tardis, thinking of making it transportable. Fifteen pieces joined with 40 screws, in about 20 minutes, are all I need to go to "Lucca Comics and Games 2015"; not as an official participation, instead placed on the sidewalk beside an avenue, with the advantage that she seemed to have just landed.
