Laser cut Police Box (aka TARDIS)

markp — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:42:27 +0000

Working on a 1/12 scale Police Box for my kids since they started playing Doctor Who (no really, honest.)

Based on pictures of the 50′s era Police Box, but lots of liberties taken to make it easy to laser cut. First version was 1/8 scale to make it easier to figure out the cuts.

Laser cut from 3mm hardboard and assembled with a bit of glue, but mostly it press-fits together.
