Is there a tutorial somewhere on making that Sontaran ship?  I remember AEG posting something about his, but can't find it.

I never did a tutorial, but it was quite easy... as OBR said, it's a plain bauble, with the door etched into the surface (I painted the outline I wanted first of all and then used a scalpel to scratch away at the surface, slow and steady - the final version has a nice crisp door frame and the door slowly drops down to it - if that makes sense).

I feel a bit inadequate coming in late on this, with only a fledgling collection, but here they are.  The photos are a bit big but they're from my blog and I couldn't be bothered to resize and rehost them... :P

Lovely, cracking job on Mr Davidson Davison!

Sorry, had to fix that! And yes, lovely job on the wet vet, particularly his trousers and the cricket ball, which I think I may just pinch for my job.

And please, guys - keep them coming! That way by the time I'll have mine ready I wont have to feel bad for joining the party late  :D

Thanks!  If you are painting that mini... please, please fix his feet with GS beforehand!  They are badly sculpted (like, Rob Liefield bad). I had to fix them halfway through and it was a pain :(

I work at a vet school, so I love that he also played Tristan on "All Creatures" :)

Inspired by onebigriver and anevilgiraffe I decided to make terrain pieces for The Sontaran Experiment too.  Here is what I have so far.  The robot will come later.

Nice spacecraft.  How did you get the cool "faceted" appearance?  It looks great (I assume the original ship was like this, but can't remember at all). 

It also sort of looks like a Transmat capsule, if you needed one in a pinch ;)

Thanks, coming from you that means a lot :)  The base is just some kind of cheap, soft metal mesh/grating from the dollar store, with plastic strips laid over it.  Window screen would probably look just as good.  Not sure exactly what I was going for with that look, either.

No Such Ageny I used a Christmas ornament I found at Wakmart to get that faceted look.



The original was more detailed but similar.  Below is a toy from that episode of DW.


I hvea few more pictures amy blog.

Not strictly what you are all looking for probably, but here is how I have used the Weeping Angels figures that came with the Dr Who Adventures magazine a while ago;

Nice.  A really atmospheric terrain piece, sure to unnerve your players even if it's not a Doctor Who game ;).  And, a good use for what look like slightly... gimpy, but inexpensive, figures.

That is a great looking piece of terrain that would fit into many games.  Great job.
