Tardis caketopper #3

The ultramarine blue is wonderful, I hope it is resistant to time travels ;)

 

I've shaped the two handles from two little pieces of aluminium, they look good.

Transparent bead and a tiny bow, two pieces of handcarved wood and some cardboard stripes.

Five prints for the writings et voilà, the Tardis is completed!

Do you like it? Now I have only to deliver it.

Bon voyage! :D

Tardis caketopper #2

La costruzione del Tardis continua.

Ho fatto un po' di esperimenti per le finestre, alla fine ho optato per uno strato di acrilico bianco sfumato di celeste con matite acquarellabili. Una volta finito passerò uno strato di vernice trasparente lucida.

The making of Tardis goes on.

I've worked on some experiments with the windows, finally I've chosen a layer of white acrylic paint with shadows of very light blue obtained with watercolour pencils. A layer of transparent paint will complete the windows.

I've painted the plain sticks sections near the windows (to mantain that clean) and then I've glued them. I've used tweezers to place the smaller sticks, a hard but satisfying work :)

Tardis takes shape after columns, sides and three tiers roof are glued togheter. Now I have to paint and work on writings and the light on the roof.

Tardis caketopper #1

Do you know Doctor Who and his Tardis? They are the protagonists of a British science-fiction television programme in the 60's and the sequel in the 00's. The Doctor is an alien, a Time Lord, who travels in a time machine and spacecraft with chameleon circuit named Tardis. Tardis' chameleon circuit is broken so the shape is stucked in the shape of a London police box.

A friend of mine, who will get married soon, asked me a replica of the Tardis as caketopper.
This is the Tardis caketopper making of :)

I've begun with poplar wood sheets of 0,3 and 0,5 cm thick, from the wood I've cut a square for the base, three for the roof and four rectangles for the sides.

From long pine wood sticks I've cut the four side columns.

I've taken the measures for the sticks inside the side panels, I'll go to buy them in a hobby shop.

The acrylic paint, a beautiful ultramarine, is already here.

To be continued :)
