K6 Telephone Box
What
A restored K6 Telephone Box.
Why
I think the K6 Telephone Box is iconic. It looks great. It’s like a beacon. I’d wanted one for quite a while and did occasionally at look at costs of them. I also considered making a replica from wood. It wouldn’t have worked well though..

K6 telephone boxes, were manufactured in Scotland from 1935 onwards. My model would’ve been made sometime between 1952 and 1968.
K6 kiosks weigh 750kgs (14.25 CWT / 3/4 ton / 1653 lbs).
They are 2m 54cm high by 91cm2 (8’ 4” high by 3’ 2).
This is a test.
