I just watched a BBC press report from when the premiere of The Eleventh Hour and there's a shot of the Matt Smith's TARDIS but it looks like a inch or two have been added to the base making it much thicker to the MKI.  Did anyone else notice this about the newest rendition of the box? 
There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes.

There is a pic on gallifrey newsbase that appears to show the base without the beveled edge too

Really?  How far back was it?  Could you post a link?

There's a couple of good "full-frontal" shots on the old Rebuilders site on page 4 of this thread:

I used them to base my plans (and subsequent model, which I've almost finished) on.

The best picture I've seen of the base so far was posted by DoctorWho8, here: [ref msg=6896]Matt Smith's TARDIS[/ref].

Forgot about that one...

Yep that base is definately a lot thicker... almost the same size as the corner posts i would say, with the beveled edge not being a 45 anymore so being higher.

I think the bevel is 30ยบ now.  The height in total could be 5 inches now.

I'd swear that's not the new box.  The phone sign appears to be white on blue, while the window frames don't appear to be white.

It was at an official press event though so...
