Title: Doctor Who 2010
Post by: Steve F on November 08, 2010, 03:47:27 PM
The Lead in Leadworth

It's a remarkable fact that many gaming miniatures, though designed and sold for entirely different purposes can be pressed into service as Doctor Who figures with an appropriate paint job and maybe a little putty.

This thread will show my attempts to do that for the latest series, story by story.  Apologies in advance for the crudity of the putty work and the photography (the painting isn't quite as poor as it appears, honestly).

Firstly, the regular characters, and Something Old.

Wonderful stuff.

I particularly like the second photo, great conversions on Amy and Rory.

Also why the white V on the bases. Is it just for the figures facing?

I love the Rory conversions! I am very impressed by everything actually. I had the same idea for using that model for the Queen. Excellent execution. And where is the River Song model originally from?

 :-* :-* Lovely stuff! I planned to do the same thing (story by story) for all the new series, but have so far only go as far as painting two doctors, Rose, K9 and the Tardis... Any chance of a list of what minis were from where? (I can pick out the Crooked Dice and Hasslefree ones, but I'm a bit nonplussed as to the rest...)
Title: Re: Doctor Who 2010
Post by: Steve F on November 08, 2010, 07:27:19 PM
Thanks, everyone.

Lupus, the TARDIS is a diecast from the Sci-Fi Collector's Centre, repainted a bit - it comes in a box with an out-of-scale Dalek Sec for £10.

Malamute, yes, the triangles are just facing markers.  I haven't actually got games in mind for most of these (yet), but it keeps them consistent with the rest of my collection.

Chairface, River Song is converted from "PLP040 Lily" in Artizan's Thrilling Tales range.

Myincubliss - were those your Doctor Who figures in the "What I painted..." thread for September?  I look forward to seeing more.

Figure run-down so far:

Lead in Leadworth
Picture 1 - Heresy Nerdlord II, Heresy Emily Lake
Picture 2 - Crooked Dice Tweedy Mattison, Crooked Dice WPC May Killan (converted), Hasslefee Wolsey (converted)
Picture 3 - Heresy Nerdlord I, Sci-Fi Collector's centre TARDIS, Artizan Lily (converted)

The Eleventh Hour
Picture 1 - Hasslefree kiddie plus putty cardigan as Amelia; Heresy Nerdlord I head on home sculpted body as the Raggedy Doctor; Crooked Dice WPC May Killan; Citadel Tyranid ripper head plus putty body as Prisoner Zero; Hasslefree Wolsey (slightly converted - pocket, pass, undershirt and extended nose)
Picture 2 - Atraxi from a ping-pong ball and a tea strainer (horrible!  With luck, Character Options will do a nice plastic one; but, then again, I've been waiting for a Dalek Saucer since 2005); others as before.
Picture 3 - Artizan "Thrilling Tales" Prof. Walcot

The Beast Below
Harlequin Dr Who movie Susan as Mandy; atrocious home sculpted Winder; Reaper Nightshade (converted) as Liz Ten; home scupted space whale root.

Too right: World War Two with Daleks. Should have been amazing, and wasn't. Quite spectacularly wasn't. How on earth did they manage to fuck that up? While the season wasn't without faults here and there, I thought that was the only episode that actively sucked.



Still not loving the new Daleks that look like toys, but am loving your figures.  :)

Credit for the Churchill likeness should go to sculptor Adam Clarke of Black Scorpion.

Post by: Steve F on January 02, 2011, 08:50:48 PM
H’okay.  I’ll catch up from the last couple of posts.

Victory of the Daleks

Picture 1

Aircraftswoman Breen:  Artizan PLP146 "ATS Driver Sally Haines" with a spare head from Hasslefree, and putty hair added by me.

Winston Churchill: from Black Scorpion.

Professor Bracewell: Hasslefree HFN 007 “Professor W Beattie” with added glasses and restyled hair.

Ironsides Dalek: Character Online Doctor Who Micro-Universe, with added packs (some from Tamiya 1/48 WW2 Briish infantry).

Picture 2

Soldiers: Crusader Miniatures WWB 001 “Early War British Riflemen”.

ARP warden: Foundry WW2 B7 “British characters”, with added moustache.

Picture 3

Daleks: came with Doctor Who Adventures comic.

The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone

Picture 1 (which I must replace – the lighting is terrible - now replaced)

Byzantium Guards: The Assault Group SWA 001 “SWAT Team Commanders” and SWA 003 “SWAT entry team”, with replacement heads from West Wind B-SHS4 “British Para heads in berets”.

Alistair: Blue Moon PC-008 “British agents”

River Song: Artizan PLP 038 “Agent Lake” with resculpted hair, shades, top and bag, and cut-down gun.  The gauzy sleeves were built up with three layers of undilute PVA mixed with Citadel “Devlan Mud” wash over flesh-painted bare arms.  The outrageously high shoes were cut to retain the depth of the original base.

Picture 2

River Song: Eureka 100 PLP 14 “Ginger Snaps” with replacement head from Copplestone Corporate Babe, added holster (Tamiya WW2 US infantry, with putty straps), and camera replaced with PDA carved from a plastic offcut.

Clerics: The Assault Group BRT-003 “British infantry in helmet”, with the sights removed from the guns and added goggles in putty.

Picture 3

The middle decayed Angel is a free gift from the cover of Doctor Who Adventures.  It was one of those figures that grows when you add water.  Despite my attempts to seal it, the surface blistered badly, but that’s fine – it just hasn’t absorbed enough radiation yet!

The other two decayed Angels are Baker Company VCIV3 “Vietnamese civilians”, after being attacked with knives, clippers and drills and spayed with textured paint.

Picture 4

From the left, figures 1, 2 and 5 are Crooked Dice “Scary statues”; figure 3 is from Foundry WG168 “Narcissus and the heroines”, with added wings from Black Cat Bases; figure 4 is from Foundry WG165 “Classical Greek Heroes”, again with Black Cat Bases wings.

Picture 5

The Verger is again from The Assault Group BRT-003 “British infantry in helmet”, with bits added to the rocket launcher at each end..

The Angel is from Immortal Miniatures “Greek Civilians”, with Black Cat Bases wings.  Bob’s head came from my bits box.

Thanks.  Yes, that's the Foundry Elizabeth the First ("Well, she thought she was the first."  Sorry, wrong episode).  The far right vamp is an old Ral Partha model from when they produced minis for the White Wolf Vampire RPG.

I've got some ideas, but I'd rather not post about them until I've tried them out.  They'll certainly involve a lot of (bad) sculpting and even more (and worse) swearing.  Still, there doesn't seem much point waiting for Doctor Who Adventures to produce some plastic Silurians, does there?

Nice!  Any close ups of the vampire fish?

Thanks.  I should have the camera out later today.  I'll see what I can do.

Horribly crude piece of sculpting, I'm afraid, and worsened by a terrible glueing accident when I was fixing on some of the last appendages (I just couldn't face scraping it off and starting again).  Still, it's done and is generally recognisable.

Melohkeh: Body from Wargames Factory Zulu components, head from a Hasslefree male head sprue, lotsa putty.

Eldane: Originally a Perry Sudan arab horse holder, covered with ... oh, you guessed.

Picture 3
Warriors: Bodies from Copplestone Bodyguards in Bikinis, head cut down from Citadel Kroot, and that putty again.  I've not got much left, now.

Nice use of Hasslefree village idiot there. The Dr playing footies a bit big, but then again I expect you'll be limited with regards to range of sculpt options.

Indeed.  The body is from A&A.  The only other range I know of is from Eureka, which are reputed to be a bit small.

The Pandorica Opens
First batch

This episode involves a heck of a lot of minis (though some have been seen before), so I'm splitting it into several batches.  The first gets us almost as far as the opening credits!

He's in the trailer shown on CBBC.  The credits for "The Pandorica Opens" that appeared in Doctor Who Magazine call him "Dorium", but I like to think of him as "Sidney Bluestreet".

The Pandorica Opens
Fourth batch

These guys were all mentioned as part of the Alliance fleet, but weren't actually seen in the episode.  There's only so much room in an Underhenge, after all.

(http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz62/SteveFlanaganUK/Doctor%20Who%202010%20project/Pandorica16.jpg)

Even that isn't quite the lot.  Also listed were the Haemo-Goths.  But this is the first and only time that the Haemo-Goths have even been mentioned; I don't know what a Haemo-Goth looks like.  So here, instead, is a Perky Goth.

Brilliant! The paint job on the Drahvin is particularly good.  :D

Extra obscurity points for the Chelonian too!  ;D

By my reckoning you just need a stone Dalek and you're all done – just in time for the new series. Well done!  :)

Thank you all (blushes).  I'm slowly gathering minis for the 2011 series, and for a "skeleton" outline of 2005-2009.  And I've got a few bits of metal and plastic inspired by the trailer for for the series starting this autumn, so there should be more modern Doctor Who to come.
