Introducing the good Doctor... (final pics added!)

That's just awesome, it makes me cry a little...

Yes, the costume is pretty awful, but the miniature rendition is superb!

I had a bit of time this weekend to finish another Doctor:



I'm probably not alone in thinking that Tom Baker is the archetypal Doctor. He was a the helm of the Tardis when I started watching as a kid. My only problem with this mini is that he really should be offering a bag of jellybabies (the BTD mini gets it right in 28mm). However, if you can't bear their absence, check out this YouTube clip, where EVERY Tom Baker jelly baby clip has been spliced together:



Very funny - even David Tennant wasn't cheeky enough to offer Davros any confectionary!

Considering the lacklustre castings, you've done a nice job with what you had available.  I was never really into Dr.Who, my experience being limited to the Peter Cushing movie version of the mid 1960's.  I do remember the Daleks, though, and am eagerly awaiting Airfix's large scale version.  I may even consider purchasing their T.A.R.D.I.S. kit, containing figures of the David Tennant Doctor and Freema Agyeman's Martha Jones, more for the 'vehicle' than anything else, although the likenesses are supposed to be excellent.

Wow! That Dalek kit is definitely on my Christmas list now!

Thank you, my favourite Dr
Excellent job, I have enjoyed seeing these come together.

OK, this is the last mini for a while...

Colin Baker, a much under-rated Doctor. And probably the most brightly coloured mini I've painted in years! I wouldn't lay claim that his coat is painted 100% accurately, but I'm happy enough to capture the character of it.



Dodge asked:

is it good painting 40mm minis?

Yes, they're great. I only got back into painting a year or so ago after a dozen years away, and my old collection long passed into obscurity. The slightly larger size gave me the confidence to start painting again, and then I realised I really enjoyed them. I'm not so bothered about the lack of ranges compared to 28mm (I do paint those as well though), these are more for fun than gaming per se.

So that's it from the Doctor for a while. I do have more minis from this range - and some Tardis and conversion plans too  - but I'm travelling for work from next week for a month, so I won't be painting anything for a little while. Well done anyone who bothered to see this thread through until the end! I'll leave you with a snap of a happy Time Lord family:
