I think that was a cut out.

There's a model TARDIS take-off at the end of The Ice Warriors.

Don't have the DVD to hand but think it might be the smaller Shawcraft one...?
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Ah. You could well be right. Been a while since I watched it.

Yes, I think that is the Shawcraft 1:6 model...

The Invasion re-used the exploding TARDIS footage in reverse and also had scenes of The TARDIS in space attacked by a missile, so the Shawcraft model again.

Also The Space Pirates used the model TARDIS overlayed on the small raised computer bay set in episode one, before a recording break to put the real prop in place

There's this half faded-out and not entirely clear Telesnap shot from the opening seconds of Marco Polo.

Seems to be a model TARDIS bottom left of screen. Chunkier-looking than the Marinus box I'd say.

Again, no DVD to hand but there's a teeny TARDIS in the model shots of the Snowcap Base in The Tenth Planet.

Model TARDIS in Five Doctors, used in the scene when The Cybermen try to blow it up.

Could be the one that was later used in Timelash?

I was under the impression this wasn't a model.  ???
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

I always assumed this was the full size.

Yes that's the one, it does look like the full size one, but according to various reference works it was a model.

In The Five Doctors edition of In-Vision, it says: 'The Cybermen detonate their bomb just as The (Model) TARDIS dematerialises.

Without checking the episode, as far as I remember all the scenes of The Cybermen preparing their bomb was on the TARDIS scanner, so you never see them in the same shot as The TARDIS.

It's on page 20, start of text on page.

Filmed on March 8th.

Probably didn't want to damage the full size prop.

There are several bombs around The TARDIS when they detonate, but you only ever see one full size one with The Cybermen.

Honestly, I think that's the full sized prop in a long shot, rather than a model...

It wouldn't be the first time the paperwork is wrong.
