The back is in slightly rougher shape:

(Admittedly, I took that picture before we sponged off most of the dust and grunge.)

Anyway, I'm not talking about a complete repaint; just that there are a few places (like along the bottom molding there on the back) where the paint is completely gone and could stand to be touched up a little. Distressed is all well and good, but we wouldn't want people thinking I was deliberately going for the circa-1980 "gosh, the TARDIS prop has been allowed to get into really shocking condition" look. :)
