Started my first CBG for my 8 yr boy who is a big fan of Doctor Who, so I am attempting a Tardis themed CBG. Any tips and/suggestions welcome.

 Hi, Jason .    At the the very top, right of the page there is a search function .  Type in tardis and do a search and then Dr. Who and search.    Most Dr. themed builds start out with a Dr. Who themed tin or lunch box.  There is a picture of a head stock made to look like the Tardis. Very cool!        At the point of your build I would go with something less heavily themed.    Like:  A picture of the Tardis in space glued to the bottom of the inside of the box that can be seen through the sound hole,where the fret markers go make black and then add tiny stars and do the same to the front of the head stock.   I think a antique looking night sky folk theme on the the outside and the time traveler reveal on the inside would work well.    I hope these thoughts help.         Good luck with your build!

You are going to need some heavier duty clamps ;-) It is looking great!

Looking well done.   Those Padron boxes are among the best.   All looks like a player.  Don't make the headstock any thinner.
