This is a light up Tardis standing 2'+. I used scale lumber and craft plywood on a 90W 24x36 Laser Cutter. I grabbed some drafting from the web (provided) and modified to what I had on hand in cad.

I cut several layers for each side of the Tardis. I used 1/16, 1/8, and 3/16 for each panel.

Once the sides glued and set, I started adding the outer trim using 1/2 by 3/16, and the roof.

I did the Police Box in relief, and added translucent windows.

Adding Paint

Start with plenty of base blue.

For the beacon I used a model paint bottle, added the lettering and a cobblestone pattern etched base, and overall weathering. I think it came out pretty nice. I really enjoyed making it.
