Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

It's been a while and to be honest these photos have been sitting on my phone for quite some time. It is time to reveal my Lego TARDIS. I wrote a blog a while ago on my inspiration and the computer design, it is now the time to reveal the real thing!!

Now already during construction there were a few modificatons. Just to stability or due to lack of pieces being found. In the end I had to go to 5 piece providers to get all the bits in the colours I wanted.

I'm very happy with how the pieces I got at Brick 2014 worked in the set.

I understand that with Lego unleashing an official set later this year, my design is slightly redundant. But as my first ever computer design, with procurement of the exact bricks I needed I am VERY proud of the results!

It now takes pride of place on my desk at work.

 

 

With the doors opened put it stands very well on the surface, no wobble at all. I even think it's not too badly scaled for a minifig either.

You can see how cramped it is inside once the doors are closed, so unfortunately you cannot transport a minifig around inside.

Lastly are some construction pics. If you like the look of it and want to replicate it please let me know through the blog or my Instagram (whinney_g). I will send a PDF of the computer generated designs free of charge to anyone that wants a go.

Please feel free to build it, mod it, improve it. I'd love to hear ideas for how it could be made better in general or for your own uses.

 

 

 

 

Hope you are all well and happy building!!
