The Maine Whovians are a group of Doctor Who fans and cosplayers who decided to take things one step further in 2018. Their first build was a group effort which resulted in the creation of a wheelchair accessible TARDIS. Type 40 Build is the public facing side of their adventures and features content from their appearances as well as their builds. We hope you all enjoy the ride and look forward to seeing you around Maine, New England, and the universe in general.
