Full Sized British Phone Box Build

[Droidboy]

Recently a client asked me to build them a British phone box as a gift for husband.

After looking at many of the different styles, I settled on the K6 because I liked it best and it's scale seemed most conducive for this project.

While I am trying to build this as accurately as possible, I have to take some liberties with it so it will fit in their basement. So this means I have to shrink the size from 8'4" to about 7'2" while still keeping the 36" width.

I've been working on this for a few weeks and started a blog so her husband could follow along with action as he awaits his Christmas present.

So far so good. I learned a lot from watching Philip Wise and Matt Munson build their Tardis and I hope one day to be able to take done of the techniques I'm picking up here for my own personal blue box.

It is a bit sad that I'm building the phone box and not the police box, but whatever the customer wants right?

Anyhow here is the link to my blog

Cool project.
They used to sell real ones at Cost Plus (now known as World Market)

Ooops. I've fixed it. Sorry it's taken so long! It's been tough to work on this in a shop with no heat in the bitter cold, but the show must go on right?

Your sure that the wife did not mistake a Police box with the phone box?...They did use the Police box to call for backup as well. so it would not be totally odd if someone that is not into Dr Who to mistake the police box for a phone box.
