Not everyone is lucky enough to have a TARDIS steal them, transport them through time and space and always take them where they need to be. Some people have to build their own.
That’s what the talented, creative and meticulous folks who populate TARDIS Builders do. The site is dedicated to documenting and showcasing fan-made Doctor Who props. The blue police-box TARDIS seems to be favourite among crafty Whovians, but the site also features of other props from the show, including TARDIS consoles, gadgets and more.
Aside from pictures of their incredibly impressive final products, many of the the hobbyists who make these props also keep detailed build-diaries. Click on the pictures below to find out more about how they were made.

Equally impressive are the other Who props featured on the site. There are, of course, many Daleks — the Doctor’s most adorable feared enemy.
