Dr. Who Police Box...

[Commander Vyper]

not beyond the console room
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=9786.0

have the bits for the new series console room, but stalled with the coral... stalled on how best to do a maze like interior as well for the dungeon crawl... will come up with something

Shame would have liked to see the old interior a bit more developed. Be good to see what comes of the new one though.

See the fenris one is grand by me, but then I'm not a panel counter, nor do I watch much Dr Who beyond Tom Baker because it's either null or too damned middle-classed-pseudo sci-fi merchandising opportunity.

p.s. My newsagent Tarquin put 83 copies of DWA aside for me that's one maasive Dalek army ya?

83 copies? that's not an army, that's half the population of Skaro!!

[oldskoolrebel]

Note, though, that while otherwise admirable, the Fenris model has entirely the wrong configuration of panels on the door, and the wrong sign on each side, to impersonate the TARDIS.  It does, however, look just like a real police box in Glasgow.

Easily the best 28mm TARDIS is the die-cast one sold by the Sci-Fi Collector's Centre in a pack with an oversized Dalek Sec for £10.  You can see examples on my Doctor Who 2010 thread.

Hehehehe

I can think of two police boxes in Glasgow, and both are now coffee booths 

One is in the West End outside the Botanics and the second is on Buchanan Street.

To use an old army phrase "some people just have to kick the arse out of it"!

 

edit  Oh and I'd recommend buying from Hasslefree. I got one of the Tardis models they sell and as always the whole transaction was flawless

There are quite a few in Edinburgh and almost all seem to be coffee booths or sandwich bars.
Completely different design though.

But there is one in Scarborough Harbour that is still in service.

Never mind the panels all these boxes are more like 40mm scale-way too wide and tall-have a look at an episode with a doctor whose height you know and check it out, the Hornby 1/76 scale is closer than these but is a bit too small around 1/60 scale should be aboyt correct but i dint think one exists. Card anyone? If comparing a model use a figure without its base to get a better comparison.

way too wide and tall-

They're about right for 21st century Who, which uses a larger prop.

The 1963-1989 version was a fair bit smaller, as the original prop was built to fit into the BBC's oldest and smallest studio.

wide certainly... but not necessarily too tall, even the original prop was quite tall

i was thinking of proper adult size people like the 2 Bakers not gnomes like Eccles-cake or mccoy.
Tom fills most of the door height wise.

[anevilgiraffe]

Smith is over 6ft

Scroll down for a good size comparison .

[timlillig]

I don't know if its the best, but I have one of these:

It is the right size for 28mm and I'm planning to fix it up.

From the comparison photo it's clear that the redhead is exactly the right size.
