The Hedge of Destruction

(sorry couldn't resist)*

ok... so the scenery slowly trudges along with some hedges... I've had two grand plans for scenery - the main and first one was always for some urban scenery but that takes up a hell of a lot space with buildings and so on... the second was rural, the beauty of it being I already have some grass gaming tiles and the majority of it becomes universal - hedges exist in the alien invaded English countryside for Doctor Who and in wherever I decide my fantasy stuff exists...

these are rapidly looking like my first ever finished proper bit of scenery... they're made from industrial polisher pads from eBay (have loads left as well), plasticard bases and balsa for the stiles, gate and posts...

this is where I am with them now... had a fun time with the scatter grip and the flock... that stuff is great... although it appears to help stick the flock somehow in places where I didn't put any, so the gaps I left aren't always visible... most obvious on the upper of the two gateways... I will let it cure and see if it gives up more loose stuff...

so... just need to add the foliage now... downside as I've just discovered is I don't have anything to keep the foliage in once I open the packs, so that may have to wait til after a trip to Poundland... which means that in the meantime I get to work on UNIT's latest bit of kit...

*very sad Doctor Who pun if you didn't know...

The Master...

well two of them anyway...

The Anthony Ainley version is a pretty dodgy likeness really, the pose is quite nice, but the head is about as unlike Ainley as you could attempt. Not a fan of the mini, but it needed doing:

Now the Roger Delgado version is a lovely mini, captures the character and the likeness lovely... the profile in particular is perfect, but then he is my favourite version as well:


have the Decayed Master and the Eric Roberts version kicking about, but it's been one of those months... can't seem to finish anything... have also run out of dullcote so that will need replacing at the end of the month...

lots of planets have a north...

the long anticipated Doctor Malcolm Ecclescake from Heresy... uncannily a good match for the Ninth Doctor...

I'd tried to go for the worn leather coming through the black of the jacket... stands out better in real life actually... was a bit worried I'd done my usual and screwed up the varnishing, but I think it's ok (no patience me)...

and of course, with Heresy's Doctor Hugh McCrimmon:

setting the scene...

Nothing overly special... always been desperately lacking in scenery and really need to do some... had a play with some moveable walls and props and quite like the finish... has inspired me for the larger scenery project, but then will probably not get much done on it... urban scenery is such a pain...

Robomen

Again, some old models, rebased... some Robomen allies for the Imperial Daleks:

The standard Black Tree Design models, with a female recruit from Artizan Designs (for equal opportunity enslavement):

Renegade Daleks

More catch up photos... again, my Renegade Daleks were done ages back, but got lost in the reboot/purge... anyhoo...

for the Renegade Daleks I went with the panzer grey finish of Genesis of the Daleks (complete with Aryan blue eyepiece)... although not strictly renegade at that point, they are a nice colour scheme, and Davros in black is waiting to join them at some point... 11 Warrior Daleks and the Special Weapons Dalek (not strictly canon but hey...):

A couple more specialised Dalek types... first off, from the Daleks Master Plan, Warrior Daleks equiped with flame units, just what you need for clearing a path in the jungles of Kembel:

... and from Destiny of the Daleks, Suicide Daleks:

And finally, a couple of command options, the Gold Dalek from Day of the Daleks and the Black Dalek from Resurrection of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks:

There is an Engineer Dalek as well, but I appear to have forgotten to include him in the photos... and they do have some Ogron allies waiting for them...
