Mark Dixon weaves his brush of love over these two. The TARDIS was a sliver, hard rubber key ring but the scale is perfect.
The Sea Devil is for the 'A Rig too far' scenario - one of two games we're running at Salute. I might have mentioned it before ::)

Nice.
Ian's TARDIS (Fenris Games) is nude of colour and tauting me from the side of the monitor. MUST RESIST!
Nice sea devil too, bodysurfing is all the rage you know.

V. Nice!
Those windows on the Tardis are almost as much of a pain as the domes on the Daleks!
Loving the Citadel Sea Devil - nice job on the water!
And as for all the other stuff on your photobucket link ;D
Might have to pick your brains on the Invasion stuff...

Beautifully done by Mr Dixon! I've tried to get one of those key rings, but can never seem to find any >:(
One thing though, is the TARDIS meant to be hovering, or has my eyesight deteriorated still further?

Perched on an edge...in random classic TARDIS landing fashion.

Brilliant - I love the Sea Devil in the classic 'emerging from the waves' pose. Those old Citadel sculpts are great.

I've noticed the newer Doctors' driving standards have dropped alarmingly :o None of this flying around busy streets and crashing into things nonsense with the 1st -4th Doctors. You'd think parking would be part of the TARDIS driving test lol

nice...loving the sea devil 8)
i've got 2 fenris boxs one still needs painting ::) ......

Cheers Guys.
I've two boxes of the Old Citadel Sea Devils on order from Who North America to supplement the forces for Salute. If anyone has the old Citadel Romana I or Jo Grant, i'd be veeeery interested in buying them.
I've four or five of the key rings BTW! I was thinking of painting them up and selling on at some stage!
-
Thanks for your kind comments guys
I have drilled a hole in the underneath of the tardis & attached a wire to the base so that it can be used with different bases or solo which explains the slight hovering of the tardis

Lovely! Always good to see a well painted Who mini.

I hope you don't think I was criticizing - I actually like the effect, as it adds to the surreal nature of the Tardis.
Definitely an idea to steal :D
The Fenris Tardis is on my list and is a lovely model, but I'd rather pay less as I'm a skinflint ;)
-
Is the surf part of the cast on the Sea Devil? I've considered doing something similar with Cthulhu Deep Ones emerging from the sea, could do with some tips if it's not part of the cast.
-
No Mark converted the Sea Devil from the early Citadel range.
You can still get them from here. They are true 25mm though:

They don't play too badly with the BTD Sea Devils though:

I'd say they were an acceptable mix. I'm not too fussy about different sized figures (except for semi-artificial beings like Cyberman and Daleks etc).
-
Love the sea devil in the sea, very well done. I had no idea that you could still buy those old citadel sea devils :o I wouldn't of started converting GW Saurus warriors. (I know BTD have their figures but I didn't fancy the lottery of 'will I won't I get them')
The Tardis is a beaut, I will have to bite the bullet and buy a Fenris one
-
started converting GW Saurus warriors.
pics Stedley old chap...
-
don't get excited, I've just cut off the swords and given them greenstuff heat disc things! I found 3 monsters to use for Myrkas in my VSF box, not sure where they came from, Parroom I think, but they do have 4 legs and 2 little arms
-
Ox - thanks for the comparison shot - they're not too bad.
Send us some pics Steders.
-
don't get excited
too late... give us the pics you old goat
-
Hooray - this forum is a bit of a Whotopia at the mo! ;D

Like the sound of these Sea Devil conversions - are some of those wierd Martian beasties still available from Parroom - can see why you chose them for stand in Myrkas!
Is the surf part of the cast on the Sea Devil?
Any tips on modelling the surf would be nice also.

the Baralanth is the closest I can find... the range has grown since I last looked there...

Close your eyes...
picture this in green...
add in a couple of fins, crests and scales
and forget the travesty of 80s special effects that was the Myrka in Warriors of the Deep!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K-Qpamlhu4
Bad video quality to go with the acting!
-
Close your eyes...
I have no problem seeing that... it was Steder's line of little arms that was confusing me...
-
No its not that one, Longneck. Its a lot bulkier, I'll take a photo tonight with the saurus warriors.
Edit: Its the PSM-CTR-003 Grosk
I've got 2 more monsters, neither of which are shown there, a 4 legged dog thing and bi-ped with tentacles for arms. I picked up about 10 creatures cheap from one of the shows from the crowd that used to stock Parroom. I thought they could be used for allsorts of things.
I did consider using the Parroom plasm hybrids (2 armed ones) as silurians, in the end I took the plunge and ordered some from BTD
-

The biggest Travesty was how the hell could they make Ingridd Pitt look so unattractive?!

interesting... hadn't seen those little arms underneath...
-

Yeah but she pulls off some right moves in that little dance she has with the Myrka!
(http://www.parroom.net/Images-PSM/Showroom%20pics/Critters/CTR_003.jpg)
Looks nice and bulky - would you move the head further up the shoulders to get it more Myrka-like or keep as is and bill it as a different genetic experiment by the Silurians - Myrka MKII?
-
Don't mess with Ingrid Pitt. She can dispatch a Myrka with the power of her Ka-Ra-Te.
-
Edit: thats it! stick a disc on the sword arm, I'll hopefully be near to finishing my town soon

Lovely stuff Steders - I like your terrace houses - are they from S and S models?
-
All buildings are made using the Matakishi cork tile technique. All the brick buildings have been wrapped with brick paper downloaded and then printed from Scale scene

Some more Citadel additions for the Salute game from Mark Dixon:

I must say I`m looking forward to that game, it`s the drop that made me decide to finally go and see what that whole Salute thing is all about.
-
Tomsche - ah bless ya!! Hope we live up to your expectations!!
There are two games.
The Battle for Canary Wharf will hopefully be run three times and is more of a drop-in game to introduce new players. Slightly slimmed rules for fast play in a New Who setting.
A Rig Too Far is a more traditional DWMG game and will probably play twice.

Love those Sea devils Uti, great pj
