A little while ago I decided to tackle making my own personal Tardis. But something manageable. Not a life size one. After making the mini [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) I thought, “how hard can a blue box be?”

What follows are a few basic pictures. I’ll post links to the actual process down below. Going to try to not go too crazy with the pic posting.

The very beginnings!

Just a rough test fit of the main pieces

The roof light test!

This is a shot looking down into the spaghetti filled belly of the beats!

Behind the doors!

very cool. now you need a full sized tardis. i built one and it’s a great feeling owning a tardis. just remember not to create a paradox while traveling through space and time.

Oh man! Had I only enough room for a full size. Sadly NY apartments barely have room for the people living in them. Would love to see your finished product!

also thanks for the safety tip.

Yes they are bigger on the inside. U could fit everyone in that apartment building it in and that wouldn’t even put a dent in the free space.
