Would that be this model? -

The Scoones box and the Irvine box are very close but The Stones of Blood box is not the Scoones box.

Minature Tardis Prop

This models was made by visual effects designer Mat Irvine for the 1975 story the 'Pyramids Of Mars'.

Mat Irvines first work on Doctor Who as an assistant to Ian Scoones was to fit the flashing light to an early model of the Tardis using the mechanism from a metronome.

The model is constructed from plywood for the corner posts, base, 'police public call box signs' and parts of the internal structure, all four side panels are made from plastic card and card board has been used to give the eight panels on each side depth, the roof is also made of plywood and plastic card.

Inside the model as outlined by the red and green arrows are four small holes and one large hole, thease were most probably for suspending the model from fishing wire or attaching it to a spinning rig.

This model was first used in the Tom Baker story 'Pyramids Of Mars' and finally seen in the Peter Davison story 'Time Flight'. Between these years it was used in many classic Doctor Who story's most notably the famous 'in space' shot seen through most of the Tom Baker era.

This model was on display at longleat until 1983, it now belongs to a private collector in the USA.

Nate, just for clarity. That image you just posted, with pics of all sides, is the Mat Irvine Box, right?

Indeed. I've read your thread on the subject - have you always been a glutton for punishment lol?

Popping back to the screen caps - this model seems unusually similar to the full sized prop. I've often wondered why in other stories the models and the props differ.

This is correct.   [Though technically the image you are referring to is Markftherani's image, I just copied the image location and pasted it in the narrative.]

The More than 30 years in the TARDIS Doctormentry

I thought there was an additional model shot on the DVD that turned out to be a glass shot...
