Painted: TARDIS and a Sea Devil - NEW PICS
« on: 26 January 2010, 08:38:53 PM »
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  ::)




Lots of Who pics here:

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?

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

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

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:
