a TARDIS for the Master...

finished the Master's TARDIS...

obviously the column was more popular with the later Master, but always liked the computer bank... a working chameleon circuit means it could be anything, but this'll do for me...

it's half of a Copplestone Castings KissKissBangBang databank (cheers for the cut Ian), which unfortunately isn't that great a cast... lots of edges and angles on the piste as it were, made more obvious by the cut - also removed the two rows of round lights/buttons on the front as they were completely off kilter, just put a thin bit of plasticard over the open space as another panel...

changed the access panel at the back into more of a door, again with plasticard and the thing isn't a bad size against the old Ainsty Police Box... after struggling with various 60's/70's computer suite colour schemes, finally went with a plainer grey/black - the more garish colours would work better in context, as this will be plonked anywhere, it just stood out wrong, grey/black may not be accurate but it makes it his...

Granny and Nanny...

Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg from the Discworld books... lovely minis (although massive and out of scale with almost everything), great fun to paint - I'm really proud of the blacks on these, which is just as well considering... they're available through Antenociti's Workshop (bases by Fenris Games)...

they were done a while back as a birthday present for some friends - surpise done so there they are...

So you're my replacements — a dandy and a clown!

finally finished my first and second Doctors (bloody hedges - still not finished, but needed a change)...

nothing really that spectacular, although the Troughton sculpt is horrible (for some reason they have him in an ill fitting tail coat rather than the baggy coat he's known for - so out come the g/s, not my best it has to be said)... I may try and track down the limited edition in the hat, that has more character (and the first Doctor in the cape)...

overall there are no real details or bits and bobs requiring fancy pics, so in with the third Doctor just so I can use the quote...
