almost exactly 4 years ago I did post an image of my CSG Police Box.
Here is another version of the box, rendered with UberPOV and Gilles'
Mini parked in the background. Render time was close to an eternity but
time doesn't matter when you have a TARDIS at your disposal!

Everything from the vegetation on the elevated road to the expression on the
face of that young woman looks incredibly good. Great detail.
I was a Doctor Who watcher a long time during the 1990's when replays of older
shows with Tom Baker (#4) were on PBS, no one else seemed better and eventually
I quit watching.

*Very* good indeed. Almost (not quite) photographic :-)
I can imagine the render time...

Brilliant!
It's a pity it doesn't fit onto my desktop though. Would you mind redoing it at
1920 x 1080? You might need to use the TARDIS to do that though...

The overhead bridge and the old van immediately caught my eye: both stunning,
along with their textures and lighting. A REALLY nice image. I didn't notice the
pretty girl 'til afterwards; I guess my POV-Ray priorities are rather skewed...

You can resize it. Set as «best fit».

Actually a render at 16:9 resolution is running at the moment - but it's
a nighttime version and I have no idea how it will turn out.

Tom Baker is also my favorite of the original series, but I also enjoyed
the reboot with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.

I know, I know. At some point I always lack the patience to get it all
right and just want to be done with it. What worries me is that this
becomes even worse while getting older... ;)

LOL. You got her pose and expression well indeed.
I was surprised though by that telephone /outside/ of the Tardis... to
call the /inside/ ;-)

You probably don't see, because the hatch is pointing towards the
camera. That the phone is kept inside the box and is accessed by opening
the small door.
I've refrained from commenting on this great image because I don't want
to nitpick. The Hippy van is too clean imo.
And, this is not a criticism, blue police boxes look wrong to me. It is
personal because police boxes in Glasgow were painted the same red as
post boxes. When Dr Who started it was broadcast in B&W. So it did not
look wrong.

Wow!, this is phenomenal.. The bridge and vegetation look totally realistic,
some other parts are a bit less so but still fantastic.
From the thumbnail I thought you had composited the Tardis into a photo.
Looking forward to seeing the night time version also.

Thank you, Sean. As usual I was lazy at some point and unfortunately the
night time version shows the shortcomings even more.

I have absolutely nothing against nitpicking! On the contrary, as I see
major and minor flaws *everywhere* it is quite helpful to know what
catches the eyes of others.

You already explained this 4 years ago ;) but BTW: in the late 70ies I
visited Glasgow multiple times but do not remember having seen any
police box - so I assume they where already dismantled back then?

The height warning sign on the rail bridge. In the UK metric units are
only optional. Seeing a metric only one looks strange.
The signpost. For one that old looking I would expect to see the
distance in miles on the fingers. It is a great signpost btw.
The young lady. If you dressed her in Poser's cloth room. The I would
have let her dress settle for a few more frames. The hip bag is a nice
touch. I still have mine. :)
But they are all minor criticisms.

And 4 years before that as well. That bee is certainly in my bonnet. ;)

Not all of them. There are still a few left. But I see on the internet
that they have mostly been painted blue now. In the early 70s There was
one next to the bus stop outside of my wife's parents house. So for old
times sake* they are forever red.

"Auld lang syne" would have been an appropriate phrase here.

Fun fact: the bridge is only 3.6 meters and this sign was just meant as
a placeholder, but then I did completely forget about it - until now.

Some error why this image cannot be real:
The license plate is illegal. German number plates have max. 8
letters+digits. So in "Wolfsburg" (WOB) there is only "XX 999" allowed,
or "X 9999", but not "XX 9999".
:-D
