LEGO TARDIS - now with Lifelites!

[Doctor Sinister]

My Lifelites kit arrived today! Yes, my TARDIS is now fully lit, internally and in the lamp at the top.

All I needed to do was a small amount of drilling through the roof sections to get one of the wires through to the lamp. Otherwise, the TARDIS is as it was, I haven't even had to glue it together - it's remarkably sturdy, although I have to take it apart to turn off the lights and I'm not looking forward to that as it's a bit fiddly to cram it all back in there.

Still...looks fantastic eh? No Photoshoppery involved here, I simply resized the image, otherwise you see it as it was originally taken.

This is the kit I used:

Hello,

another nice interpretation of the TARDIS. The lights look nice, however my most favourite detail is the new 1x1 round plate with hole used for the door. The hole in the plate gives a higher level of detail than a conventional 1x1 round plate and excellently improves the model.

Cheers,

Yes, it's meant to represent the St John's Ambulance badge.

This is the 5th or 6th iteration of my TARDIS design since I originally built it a few months ago, you can follow the evolution in my Flickrstream.

Drilling bricks? Do not blas-pheme!

In all seriousness, that looks really good. How're the grille plates attached [since you can see the light through them]?

They are mounted on trans-plates. Check out my instruction video here:

Ohh, very nice! Your TARDIS, which is already good-looking as it is, looks a hundred times better with the lifelites effect. Great job on this Dr. Sinister!

This looks good with lights, although those are technically custom pieces, aren't they?

Either way, great.

The TARDIS makes a nighttime landing by a calm lake on the planet Balakov.

LEGO TARDIS with lighting kit from Lifelites and engraved tiles from The Brick Engraver. Exposure – 15 seconds.

Setup shot:

I named this planet in honour of Flickr user Balakov (Mike Stimpson), who I think was the first (only?) person I’ve seen who uses the technique for water that I’ve copied.

This image is Photoshop free, I merely rotated and trimmed it.

I realise all these TARDIS pictures are annoying, but my love of Doctor Who overrides my love of LEGO and being able to combine them both is a dream come true.

So it’s something I have to get out of my system.

Here, the TARDIS has arrived on the hangar deck of the ISS Europa, where two curious fighter pilots stare at it, bemused.

No Photoshoppery here, this is straight from the camera.
