the likenesses aren't great and the casting on the 6th Doctor looks like he's had a mild stroke as his face has dropped slightly... also, oddly, the casting looks like the head was removed and reattached off centre... wish I'd noticed that before I'd started painting as I would have removed it and repositioned it... what I did notice is that the casting of the 6th Doctor doesn't have the long lapels of the actual costume, so they were added with greenstuff and are present in a vision of yellow and pink...
the alternating red, cream, brown, cream stripes of the 5th Doctor's trousers were tricky and at that thickness, the red and brown are very similar, but I'm happy enough...
the 6th Doctor's clothes... well, they're as close as I can get, except the collar and pocket flaps - for some reason I just could not get something that looked right for how they actually were... so I fudged it and went with a blue/white check (and there was never any blue in the original coat due to limitations of the special effects work)... looks ok, not 100% but spent about as long on those three small bits as I did on the rest of the coat... his waistcoat and necktie changed between stories, so I made that up a bit... only downside is the brightness plays havoc with my auto focus... his face looks a bit soft in some shots...
now, something I didn't notice til I was commited with the paint job was the absence of a button tie detail thingy (whatever that may be called) at the rear above the tails...and the Doctors so far...
I wanted a nice natural look for him, very outdoorsy, so went with leathers and bronzes and a nice fleecy lining to his boots... after all that brown though I needed something else for his hair... red/orange is of course traditional for slayers, but Kev's sculpted him with short hair rather than shaved either side of the crest, and I didn't reckon it would look right, so a natural hair colour and there was enough brown on him already...
the console is an OOP resin model by Ainsty that you may be able to find somewhere (nudge nudge) and is a fair copy of the mark 3 console used during the 4th and 5th Doctors run - I went with a pure white console as opposed to the silver of the original so it leant itself more to the other eras... the walls are a prototype space ship interior by a company that shall remain nameless (although I'm sure someone will know and blab - I just figure there's no point bothering the poor man if he isn't able to do production versions as planned - of course thanks due for letting me have them) - they aren't an exact match for the roundels, but then again, the roundels were never an exact match either (being at various times photocopies, salad bowls and all but none existant). Having recently watched the Planet of Evil, these are actually much more interesting...
took far too long to finish this really, but that expanse of pure white is a real bugger to do and I had to take a break from going snow blind...
