As I understand it,these boxes were intended for use by the public when contacting the police for assistance.
The sign on the door of the Tardis contains the instructions. The phone I think was accessed only from the outside by the public, who I don't think could get inside.
And these are nice models.

My lab technician side says you made these using a "gradient former" but my hobbyist side says it was poured by hand with two cups of different coloured resin.  Anyway the result is very nice, I especially like that your version has the sign lettering moulded in: a boon for those of us without godlike freehand abilities.

I let my daughter paint in the texts... she does freehand on her nails all the time anyway.

More half Police Boxes are now back on eBay -

Well 'No Such Agency' your hobbyist side is correct, it is two resins poured by hand.  :)

If you look on my blog you can see peoples finished painted Police Boxes and the use of home made decals for the signs on the door and lamp across the top works quite well.

Yup.the inside could also be opened by police men and i think would have shovels and such. the public were free to use the phone in order to contact the emergency services.

there's a "newer" model one not far from me.(and by newer i mean early 60's)
