I do stick to acrylic for the figures, but am still working my way though a mass of sample pots bought for 10p each when one of the big DIY chains went bust......I bought a LOT, I am expecting them to last for scenery as far as the whole of AV. They fill a large Really Useful Box........
18"........that's not cheap as chips.....but I like the lit Bollards......the flashing beacons......police box / TARDIS with a flashing light.....can it spin and float??????
vending machine with interior light........
nice link......am investigating........might be a while......
And....I have picture of Daleks and Cybermen on layout as per Christmas Special with snow........
Is anyone aware of an instance where you see trains with Dr Who characters, I believe we have two London underground trains...I think the maggots were in the underground. Although I still have to make the maggots. But any railway related memories would be of interest...so I can try and do a related photoshoot.
I have 10 finished Cybermen. Still Just 2 finished Daleks and one almost finished Dr Who. More to come.............I have soldiers but they are either modern NATO for the airplanes helicopters or WW2, not certain if I already have something for UNIT. Will have a mooch tomorrow. Oh and ONE Hornby Police Box T.A.R.D.I.S.
I want to say thank you, I noticed you used grey for your under coat, coming from a citadel back ground where they recommend black I tend to use that,but I noticed yours showed up a lot of detail, and having tried it am very pleased with the result.
And its not hard work.....so am pushing through with them
rmweb4039drwhodaleks
the Daleks will be harder......only so many, and more colours than I have Daleks.
So which ones?
I have a 1st 1960s film red black gold
I have a New Series NSD Bronze
I want to see if I can make a decent Davros body which will mean losing a Dalek. ...although my brother thinks he might have a body at home...
A 1960s 2nd film gold and black appeals
I like Death to the Daleks with the pale blue turquoise on a black background
I would like a Black boss but am not sure if it would photograph well....
The paradigm colours don't appeal, and the body shape is wrong anyway........
sighs......it's like Pokemon.....I want them ALL..........
Cybermen only really come in one colour in this specific era of the 'suit'.....so it's gonna be a conveyor belt....
The unpainted one has lost his weapon and an antennae not that he won't get painted but he was best choice to show them unpainted
rmweb4037drehodaleks
the base grey
the white he'd and torso with some silver and white highlights on the rest of th body.....low lights to follow.....there's no change to the technique since the first one, because 'in the flesh' they look nice.
rmweb4038drehodaleks
and I am expecting them to look good on the layout......
I wanted Kal to put up this as a heading.......but he just looked at me as though I was soft in the head.....
Dr Who ooo Dr Who.....Dr Who ooo Dr Who.........
Apparently they are Citadel, and came out about the time the TV Nemesis series s out....so at least 15 years old.
And his says he has some broken bits which I will get....looking forward to seeing what else is included.......
no change of a K9.........sad face........I wonder......acg_mr managed a lawnmower?......hmmmmmmm......
...and my brother says....the Nemesis Cybermen are Tom Baker and Unit era......so guess what else I have to track down (He is MY Favourite) Although I like the latest ones a lot.
AND he is going to research The Master....and HIS T.A.R.D.I.S........
This is expanding at inter galactic speed.....AND I now plan to model some maggots......also Unit.And have to make Davros.....THe ONLY train I can think of is flying in outer space.....and NO I have no plans to model that.......gulps........
JUST DONT try too focus to close up....
rmweb4036 dr w ho daleks
am still tweaking this, and hoping to photograph 'on set' tonite or tomorrow.......
.......need more daleks and cybermen........
red and black biro for the tie he appears to wear it loose at the neck.
and a not very good as what i think are brown and white brogues....so far not too successful brown shoes may end up being a compromise
rmweb4034dr who daleks
imagine at a safe distance, with scenery....and some lighting.....getting there....
rmweb4035 dr who dalek
a red and a black biro
The black for the checks on the trousers, ad the red for the hatband...then the black dull the hatband...and the red pick it up again...
rmweb4032dr who daleks
some brown paint, red pain green paint for the scarf....it ended up a bit thick so some repainting of the jacket
rmweb4033 dr ho daleks
the figure and base colour
rmweb4028dr whodaleks
The short jacket...unfortunately not open.....and the straw hat......are what attracted me to this character
the umbrella??? will need to be made separately....fingers crossed.....
testing the colours and shadows.
rmweb4029drwho dleks
Although it means sacrificing one dalek.....although I might be able to use the top half as scenery....
and I have to cut a suitable model and adjust......
and finally the Red 1960 versus the shiny gold/bronze 2005
neither look good on the white paper...I'll pop them into the layout tomorrow
rmweb4025drwhodaleks
rmweb4024drwhodaleks
perhaps chasing a few humans they might look a bit more scary......
then again being chased by Dr Who and companions THEY might look somewhat scared.......
Tomorrow now will be the time to start looking to see what I can come up with.......
