Especially the words "Police public call box".

That's exactly what I was thinking! If you could add a tiny square TARDIS decal sized for the Fenris Resin Police Box that says:

"Police Telephone
Free
for use of Public
Pull to Open"

that would really help!

St Johns Ambulance logo too.

for vehicles

or this one

silver ones for helmets?

or smaller cap badge size for other hats....

I'll do you a swap for some figures

should not be a problem to add those... Thanks for the ref pics...

Also just a side note. I'm thinking of offering a decal service, which essentially piggy backs decals on our current sheets. We reprint a lot of sets regularly..and several of the sheets have empty space that can be utilized.

I have not figured out all the details yet, but you would essentially buy a section of decal paper for a quick one off print (or several) The only catch is that the size available is usually more of a strip than a rectangular set. The set cost would only be around $5 to $10 for a one off including basic type setting. If you don't have the vector art or need stuff drawn, it would of course be a little more. Of course, trades would be welcome in certain cases...

Does anyone have dimensions for the 28mm Tardis? A measurement of the flat area that can accept a decal or several decals would be appreciated.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you . My Tardis has just materialised.... reading off my vernier gauge ..

Top "police" board 19.2 mm X 2.45 mm . in fact the black background is a bit shorter and thinner . 12.75 X 2.00 mm is about right .

Because the Glasgow police box has a slightly different panel arrangement on the entrance doors , where the white instruction panel should be , is a small door with a raised handle that needs shaving off . The panel measures 6.4 mm square , but the sign is narrower than that . the opposite panel is 4.7 X 9.3 mm if you want to include a St Johns cross .

Hope that helps .

updated UK police decal set. Image is not to scale...

I need one kind volunteer that owns a 28mm tardis that I can send a file to for a size test -- you'll need a printer

Any takers?

I went to yer site yesterday to order the decals, but there didn't seem to be a "put in cart" button for the news decals?

Do UK police cars still have the 'electric jam sandwich' stripes down the side? Those would probably be useful if doing a UK set.

Yep looks like they do, I suppose that varies from force to force though.

A common alternative is a blue and yellow reflective chequerboard stripe down the side and blue and yellow chevrons on the back.

It's funny, you don't see many police cars about any more. I suppose they're all off making "fly on the wall" docutainment show's.

Thanks Heldrak,

pdf file of the decals sent for test sizing.

Thorbjørn,
Sorry, not available yet

I sent out the SWAT decals last week, and should have them this weekend. The others, plus the UK set would probably be in stock in about two weeks, once I send out the art. I'll post an announce on the forum when they do get here though.

I expect the writing for the Tardis panel instructions will come out very nice. The text/font on the Kubelwagen License plates is literally 2 points (>1mm) and it came out very well on the final decals. Now I just need some proper police cars in 1/56th
