Doctor Who Visual Dictionary - Scans!

**Coz** · May 10, 2007

This kinda sneaked past my radar! Spotted it on my lunchbreak.

Some good prop pics - you really don't get a lot of beauty shots of 'em on the show, sadly.

Finally, a nice big shot of the sonic:

Anybody gonna lathe this yet?

Kinda hard to tell with the scan, but it looks as tho the clear section is acrylic rod drilled out for the wire.

Judoon blaster & gear:

The anti-Cyber / Dalek BFG from Doomsday:

If the pics don't give it away, its a DK book, like the Star Wars ones, only thinner. 72 pages - a few too many screengrabs, and mainly focusing on Season 2 and the first couple of eps of Season 3.

RRP of £12.00 UK pounds, so probably around 25 bucks or so.
A fun book, but I would've preferred more prop pics (like the SW ones).

One to have a look through in the store before you buy.

i'm going to need to get this......

**franz bolo** · May 10, 2007

Do they have the gun based on the Playstation Lightgun that you were working on????

thanks

**Coz** · May 10, 2007

Nope - the bolt gun isn't in the book! Tho there is a blaster that uses the same lightgun as the base.
They call it a Freedom Fighter Gun, so it must've been in one of the Cyberman episodes, or the Season 2 finale.
I'm away from my scaner at the mo, but can post a pic later.

VERY cool! Any other pictures of the Sonic Screwdriver? I notice that they chopped off the slider button...dang croppers....

**Coz** · May 10, 2007

Nope, every pic of the sonic seems to be chosen because it doesn't show the button! Or the flathead screw on the side.

There is, however, a cool cutaway pic - BUT it's not a model. And seems to contradict the original design idea (i.e. the tilting head, and that it plugged into the TARDIS console to recharge).

If anyone was thinking of making a new series Sonic Screwdriver out of metal, that is the picture right there that some one would need to do it. So why hasn't someone made one yet?
I really want a metal sonic screwdriver. I wish I had a good metal shop here in NC and I would have one made for myself.

**Primrodo** · May 10, 2007

Theres a flat head screw on the side?

Would be cool to see that cutaway though if you would not mind scanning and posting.

**Darth Kahnt** · May 10, 2007

When is this coming out... or is it out already?

**Coz** · May 11, 2007

One cutaway, as requested.

Apologies to dial-up users for the size (this is at 35% of the original scanned size!).
Pic was spread over two pages, so I had to join them at the clear section.
Punched up the colour a tad for clarity.

Edit: Photobucket shrunk the pic - here's Imageshack:

Yes, there is a flat head screw on the main body of the sonic, just below the metal cap where the clear sectionslides out. I think it actually holds that cap on.

Hope ya don't mind, Kylash, but I'm gonna repost your pic here:

Third pic - you can see the screw quite clearly.

This is already available here in the UK (from May 3rd). May take a little longer to reach the US. ISBN 978-1-40531-867-9

Part of the neck strap on the parallel world transporter looks like the shoulder sling from a lunch bag I have at home...only shortened.

Distance from the UK won't change their date of release here. DK ships out of Indiana. I worked in the front offices of the facility for years. Things like this make me wish I still did. I could have purchased it for a dollar at the next employee book sale.

**greatwazoo42** · May 11, 2007

Well, this is annoying - it's not on Amazon.com but it is on Amazon.co.uk but they're saying it'll be 4 to 6 weeks before they have copies to ship.

B&N's website says it comes out this month but they're out of stock on it already.

**RGPFX** · May 11, 2007

Coz,

Could you put up a larger size scan of the exterior casing, like you did the cutaway?

---RGP

**Coz** · May 11, 2007

Affirmative, master.

Had some trouble with Imageshack not uploading properly - should be ok tho.

You're a good dog, K-9. Now go fetch this aluminum cricket ball.

**Primrodo** · May 11, 2007

Thanks for that!

But call me blind...I still see no screw...

**Kerr Avon** · May 11, 2007

Any good pictures of K9? I'm working on a full sized one and good reference material is always appreciated.

**Coz** · May 12, 2007

This any good to ya?

Primrodo - Its kinda faint in the pic, but it's there!

Coz.

**Primrodo** · May 12, 2007

AHH! See and here I thought that it was just an extruding block makes sense though...

I REALLY want to get a perfect sized metal replica made, so the picture you provided will help greatly....thanks for showing the screw though! Blind as I was

I want to second this. I can't wait for a 100% metal replica of the Sonic Screwdriver.

I definitely would want to see this. Sonic Screwdrivers rule!!! I don't care what Jack says!

I wouldn't mind adding it to my avatar.
