INSTRUCTIONS
T. says: I used Office Max print service and was very satisfied, the employee reduced the cartons about 3% to better fit the printer. It came to about $0.70 per page, more for a heavier gloss stock.
Some assembly recommendations:
A- Score all lines that need folding, with a hobby knife and a ruler, prior to folding.
B- Use a Glue stick for a better instant paste, mix with Elmer’s/PVA glue to get a better hold.
C- Glue the side seams first then press flat to get everything lined up, then the bottoms, finally the tops.
D- If you use glue, clamp, or press with a weight, the tops (I tried using the force but it doesn’t work as well as I would like).
E- A paper clip will also hold the tops if you want to keep thing inside.
F- Use a black marker, or colored markers, to hide the fold and scoring lines if they bother you (I have not done this on the examples, but it works well).
G- If desired, trim the tops after the glue sets for a more uniform look.
H- If using thin card stock paper, reinforce the scoring lines with some tape, prior to gluing. (I found out the hard way that trying to tape a ripped seam during assembly is a pain in the @$$)

TARDIS (Small Version)
TARDIS (Big Version)
Note for the Tardis catrons; the big one should be reduced to fit the page for better resolution. The small one looks OK, but the print is illegible. Otherwise they are the same.
Well, since you’ve got the Tardis now, might as well put up a Dalek next…
🙂
Great comic!
I tried, but can’t get a milk carton to look enough like a Dalek, If I ever do I’ll get Rod to post it.
For now I recommend http://papercraftparadise.blogspot.com/2010/10/doctor-who-dalek-papercraft.html
They have a great Dalek, as well as another Tardis.
I think Rod knows another cool Dr. Who card model page, do ya Rod?
I just got a Prototype Dalek Carton E-mailed to me.
It blew my mind.
I think I have some serious competition here! 🙂
I’ll send it to you to post, as soon as I get the go ahead!
