Backyard shed/Tardis

Einstein19 built this home Tardis shed and matching dalek ten years ago, but only recently published it on Tardisbuilders*. It's a magnificent piece -- I only wish I could access the Tardisbuilder forum where it appears, as I'd love to see the interior!

*The existence of an online community for people who make their own Tardises is itself a rather wonderful thing, quite separate from Einstein19's considerable accomplishment

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Too bad the top of the shed is cropped.

I’m wondering if it’s complete with the flashing light.

Curiously, the interior is much smaller than the typical police callbox.

There is a picture of the interior available here:

  I laughed way too much at the word I came up with: SHARDIS
  
  And now, both of our words together sounds like something from Harry Potter! ”SHARDIS BACKYARDIS!!!”
  
  Don’t know what it might do, though. I’d like to think it would make your dog poop in your neighbors yard.

You probably know this (I’m sure I got it off boingboing in the late 90′s?) but readersheds, a community where people post pics of their sheds, has had a ‘Tardis’ category for years. Surprisingly popular.

  No, that TARDIS blends in with your typical backyard shed, owned by your typical Englishman, Ford Prefect.

See, this is what’s so great about the ‘Net… Following the various links on the link, I came upon this: http://walyou.com/zombie-proof-cars/

We will have to get
Einstein19 to enter Shed of the year 2013 – the TARDIS category needs some new ones :)

Now they just need to have the Dalek reading “50 Sheds of Grey”.

Does anyone use the original material for the TARDIS type police call box, concrete?

Just spent far too long on the TARDIS Builders’ website. I think I’m mostly enamoured of this steampunk version.
