Title: Probably the worst time to paint the new Doctor Who ...
Post by: Steve F on March 21, 2010, 02:42:01 PM
... but I couldn't resist!  I'm sure that I'll want to rework these in a couple of weeks' time.

The Doctor is Heresy's "Nerdlord", of course.  The TARDIS is the Sci-Fi Collectors' Centre prepainted diecast, lightened and brightened with drybrushing and glazes, the windows repainted, and a St John's Ambulance Service badge added.

Here's the 2010-style TARDIS alongside the 2005-2009 version.

And the older version with the 9th and 10th Doctors (more wonderful, characterful sculpts by Andy Foster for Heresy).  This is my second version of "Dr Hugh" - the first time, I took the easy option and painted him in his plain blue suit rather than the pinstripe.

Lovely work on those Doctors and their TARDISes.  :)

nice... liking the boxes... the windows look great...

you mean the blue suit with the brown pinstripe as opposed to the brown suit with blue pinstripe...  ;)

You know, I've never noticed that before!

you're not alone... I've seen loads of people go the blue suit route because there is no pinstripe...

you've managed a decent stripe on that one... a very thin wash of the brown might take away the glaring white bits... people tend to do white stripes for pinstripe, but at that distance in real life the colours would fade into each other a bit - why no one sees the brown stripe in the blue suit...

There is no white - the lightest the pinstripe goes is GW Space Wolves Grey.  I just have a crappy camera!

Got away quite lightly really: I just need to darken the buttons on the jacket, I think.
