The iconic fictional sci-fi contraption had interested Prouty's offspring so much she challenged her old man to reconstruct the entire thing using cardboard. Not only did David reconstruct the TARDIS, but he did it with a few extra party styled features. The creation itself is on a 1/3 scale, crafted out of cardboard while the inside is literally the life of the party. Inside the TARDIS is [rotating disco balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-holographic-projector), sound-activated lights, a fog machine, and [speakers connected by Bluetooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maker-hardware-ttd3000) to his [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-aesthetics-and-modern-technology).
