Jikk Nackles Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is it possible to get the dimensions of the Telephone Call Box (Bones figure 92877) - specifically the foot print? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai-Mongar Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Something about bigger on the inside. I... I'm not a Who fan. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I suspect it has not been sculpted/3d modeled yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The base is a 1 inch square. Scientific calipers may find it off by fractional units, I suppose, but I measure it at 1"x1" Whether it is bigger on the inside, I cannot say, I do not have a key that fits.

Dahak Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The base is a 1 inch square. Which would make it 1/54th scale. Since a Mark 2 MacKenzie-Trench Metropolitan Police Box is 4ft 6 inches square and 9ft 6inches tall. The BBC props where they deviate from that tend to do so by being short and fat. That might look a little small on the tabletop when seen next to Rex for example. I tend to have to use 1/48th or 1/43rd cars to get them to look right next to figures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aard_Rinn Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For D&D, though, that's about right, innit? Because a one-inch square is 5x5? IDK... will it be in scale with human minis from Reaper? That's my main concern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahak Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) For D&D, though, that's about right, innit? Because a one-inch square is 5x5? IDK... will it be in scale with human minis from Reaper? That's my main concern... Scenery usually needs to be a bit bigger than scale to look right. First because the figures are on bases that end up making them taller and secondly because the figures are bulkier than they would be if they were strictly to scale. Thus 1:43rd cars looking better than 1:56th because they look too low and the seats look too small. Kyra for example is 1.5 inches from bottom of base to top of headress. Here's a quick and dirty scaling. Edited February 16, 2014 by Dahak 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 the problem ultimately is that the box is made to fit a square that measures 5' on a map/grid, but the people produced by very few miniature companies are actually to scale with the idea that 1" = 5'. realism of scale has given way to 'representations' which are typically scaled similarly to each other, but abstracted from the rest of the grid. Although, Kyra does not look all that big, relative to this. Top of head meets same place, she's just wider than him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Goodchild Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Although, Kyra does not look all that big, relative to this. Top of head meets same place, she's just wider than him... And he is a bit of a bean pole, so it's all good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is a bit of a bean pole, so it's all good. IIRC that's one of the reduced size props though. And David Tennent is over 6 foot tall [1.85m]. Whereas Kyra isn't supposed to be unusually tall. Her figure's half a head shorter than Rex's and since Mel Gibson is 5 ft 9.5 [1.77m] that would make her under 5 ft 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
