Doctor Who 2010
« on: 08 November 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...)

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.

Nice work!  This might just inspire me to get back to work on my stalled out projects! Love all the custom figures!  :-*

Wow, nice job! What are the other figures (who makes them)? Are those Scooby-doo figures?

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.

Curse you and your sculpting, looks like I've got a fair way to go to catch up! (consider several ideas nicked though  ;D)
