What size would these be in OO scale? Sorry, I don't normally model to scales. I know I had a helluva problem with the details on mine and only re-opened it for sale when the FUD materials were released.

My phone kiosks, so far, range from 33mm to 37mm tall and just about 1:76 give or take the odd 1/10th mm here or there... I've gotten hold of 1/2 scale drawings for the Dr who style Police Telephone Box, but have yet to extrapolate the sizes to OO scale... I'd imagine it'd come in at 36-40mm tall... fwiw, so far my kiosks are designed around overall dimensions and photos found on the internet, e.g. most of the K2 detail came from this image

The details should come in at the spec for Frosted Ultra Detail, nothing is smaller than 0.1mm - whether the details work or not is yet to be seen.

Cool. Nice designs, by the way. I can appreciate the work you did knowing how much time I spent on the TARDIS.... it looked so easy!

Thanks
As i've been making these, I've improved my techniques, each one has taken some 16-20 hours with the K2 detailing being the most complicated so far, but today I perfected a method of making the domed roof integrate with the side walls.
Whilst looking about for info on the tardis type box, i found a paper in pdf format, The Police Signal Box: A 100 Year History - Police phone boxes date back to 1891

From the 1/2 scale blueprints (The Blue Box Project), the Tardis (full size) is 97 inches tall and on a 54 inch square base (2464 H x 1372 W x 1372 D mm) - OO scale size brings that down to 32.4 H x 18 W x 18 D mm
Other sites give other dimensions for the Tardis, including http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?board=24.0 where original BBC props drwaings are to be found!
Another bonus with the Police box is that a local friend used to be in the Metropolitan Police force and has an original key that I can replicate
Update on the K2 - As it happens, the internals of the K6 were taken from the K2 and about the only differences were a subtle change in the shape and material of the telephone. The original phone was aluminium and had slightly concave sides compared to the later phone made from bakelite with straight sides. The dial on the phones were different colour, but essentially the same design.

Would you consider doing the K6 in 7mm scale (1:43.5)?
I would love one.

I've upscaled the OO version - you can find it here - I've set it to 'hidden' for now, so only available through the link - in frosted detail, the model may be a little brittle, but should be stronger in frosted ultra detail.

The K2 has been shipped!
Not sure if the K6 & K8 are included, but I got a package arriving tomorow - really waiting on these, as I've had a request for 3mm scale and I can't wait to see what kind of detail shows up at 0.1mm.

The K2 arrived all on its own (aside from 163 foam peanuts)

Yeah, I wish I could find something to do with those peanuts! I've kept enough to do any future packing with but now just have to put the rest in the recycle bin...
