Title: The Jade Pagoda
Post by: brummielad1975 on January 30, 2012, 06:39:54 PM

I like to try and make things that haven't been done before, and looking round the net i couldnt see anyone that had done this one before, or if they have done they haven't posted any pictures. Usually it causes me nothing but headaches and this one wasn't any different!

The Jade Pagoda was the TARDIS escape pod used in a couple of the Virgin Novels.
So that meant only two reference pictures to work with.

Scratch built out of Plastic card. Trying to make the roof on this took an absolute age but I like the final effect.
Just need to finish painting it now, but thought I'd post a couple of WIP pictures.

And with a 7th Doctor and WIP Glaswegian Police Box for scale.

There's bound to be an easier way to do this :)

Interesting choice, and nicely realised.  I like the curved "Pull to Open" panel.  I look forward to seeing the finished paint.

Are you planning to do any more Virgin "New Adventures" models?

Any suggestions welcome and I'll see what I can do :)

And there was I thinking that Jade Pagoda was a euphemism for part of the female anatomy.
