First item in our new range of 28mm-scaled modern street furniture. Cast in clear urethane resin, supplied with vinyl masks for easy painting. Posted here first as you guys seem gentler than most ;)

Vinyl masks? Wassat?

What else you got? These look great by the way...

The "Topper" bases are really cool.

The masters for the phonebox are laser-milled - so the smallest side windows are approx 1mm by 2.5mm in size. Masking those out would be a pain in the rump; so we'll supply a couple of sets of pre-cut masks in vinyl sheet to make spray-painting a whole lot easier. (You can see a set of masks applied to the unpainted casting on the left - the darker rectangles).

Haven't fixed the price yet - waiting on final costings - but will probably be selling them in packs of two via our eBay store. PM me for a link :)

Will you be doing the older style Police Box as well.
Got a feeling that it would sell as well.  :icon_wink:

Funnily enough, everyone in the workshop has suggested a certain style of blue Police Box. Can't imagine why :)

Wasn't sure re the regs for posting links to self-promo stuff. As soon as the new stuff's listed (probably this weekend) I'll update this thread with a linky.

Feel free to give me a to-do list here,too. Got lots in the pipeline but there's bound to be something we've missed. Litter bins, skips, mailboxes, lamposts, belisha beacons, security cameras, wheelie bins, bus shelters, the list could well be endless....

I like everything you put up!  :clap2: Let us know once you have set the final prices.

Feel free to post links. When in doubt just listen to the global mods (purple stars mean they are always right :icon_wink:)

Just remember there are about 5 sorts of Police phone boxes.

The BBC has the trademark image rights to one. The metropolitan Police box

they don't on any of the others.. and the light on top is the only difference.

A mate of mine own most of the ones on public streets (nearly all in Glasgow) base yours on glasgow ones and you will have no problem (oh BTW they are painted red if you want to advertise it as a Glasgow police box)

Link to our eBay shop now posted in the classifieds section :)

And yeah,I was aware there were a few variants on the blue police box. As there are for the classic red phonebox. Didn't want to go too far down the route of producing every last variant of the latter as that would be just a little bit *too* anoraky ;)

At some point I'll have to pester those of you based Stateside for dimensions of US versions of mailboxes, phoneboxes, etc. Google images is fine for pics, but proper dims or technical specs are better from an accuracy point of view...

Now why do I have a picture of you in my head, out on the street explaining to an officer of the law exactly what you're trying to do with a tape measure and a post box? :laughing1:
