'Ickle Police Box (say aah!)

[pete d]

Just finished this... resin cast, hand painted in acrylics. I think the mold is probably good for about 20 pulls, so I might do a few more, possibly different styles. Hand painted the signs, but I might get some decal printer paper - anyone know if that stuff works?
It was just too small to paint 'Police = Box'.
I'd love to make police box snowglobes
Bonus points for anyone who recognises the box design...

Three stacks...? I'm going with 1929 style police box...

Reminds me of the Dinky Police Box...

It's actually cast from an old Triang Toys Police Box, from the 1950s, that's what I meant - I didn't sculpt it - I had an old Triang box with almost no paint on it - I really like the chunky look to the windows and pillars, so I decided to take a cast of it and paint it up tardis style. When it comes to die-cast police boxes everyone immediately thinks 'dinky' but there were a number of less die-cast manufacturers offering metropolitan style police box toy.

Dr Hue DM'd me asking if I would post pics of the original Tri-Ang die-cast model recently and fortunately, I still have it, though I'm not sure how long I'll be keeping it now I've seen how much these are going for these days! If only it was mint condition - check out the auction screenshot!

Thanks for posting. Is the base solid or is the inside hollow and are there any markings or numbers inside ?

Inside is hollow, no markings or numbers on the inside whatsoever
