Description Let the geekiness continue!

I'm taking geekiness to new dimensions, aren't I?

So I was a bit bored last night and started watching "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" and my friend came over. When the latter episode came to a finish the forementioned friend said it'd be cool to have a notebook that resembled the TARDIS, and I of course agreed. And huzzah! Here's what that little bit of chat produced.

The notebook is A5 with 60 pages (Well, 120 if you count both sides of the pages, but that's just me trying to make it sound grander than it is). Materials include paper (made to look older with tea), cardboard, acrylic paints, basic things needed for bookbinding, lots of glue and luck.

I tried to make it durable, and definitely not as disheveled as the one seen on screen It would be quite useless... Then again, I have no idea what to do with this one.

I plan on painting in more detail, but first I need to make a trip down to the shops...

Anyways, hope this amuses someone

OMG THAT'S INCREDIBLE 8D

Do you mind if I steal your idea? (personal use only, lol xD) except I dunno about the tea-stained pages bit, because last time I tried that, it was on history homework, and I ended up having to write it all out again >_<

Thank you

Of course you can make one! It wasn't my idea in the first place and it's all about sharing, makes the world a better place (OK, that was a bit pretentious, it's just a notebook But then again, it's the little things that make us happy).

That is brilliant! I wanted to do that when I saw it, but sadly, I haven't the book-binding skills. I wonder how easy it would be to mod a regular notebook. Ohh got the crafting itch now!

siniart In reply to Tauriosiris [2009-01-24 19:03:20 +0000 UTC]

I actually did another version of this, just the covers that you can put over the covers of a normal notebook, any notebook that's A5 in size and then when it's filled move them onto another notebook.

You can certainly build something similar as this onto an existing notebook, it'll probably be a lot easier than first binding the pages and then constructing the covers.

I wish you all the luck and let me know when you've finished it, if you decide to make one.

Hmm, well I coloured the papers on Thursday evening, and the rest... about six hours, give or take, waiting for the glue to dry messed up my calculations But that included, about six or seven.

"I'm taking geekiness to new dimensions, aren't I?"

Well, with this particular series, that's a good thing!

I would totally buy this - I keep a diary every day, and to have one that looks like the TARDIS would be awesome. Can't wait to see it with the telephone lables, etc.!

Randomly i've just this minute finished watching those two episodes on the BBC iplayer - saw the thumbnail and thought that can't be from what I just watched can it??... and it was!!

Anyhoo - brilliant work, very similar to the original and practical too!!
