Re: 1/6th scale TARDIS under construction..
You are doing some 'wicked' stuff there! My g/f has been drawn into a group of doll collectors. Well, collectors and doll COSTUMERS. She needs to see this stuff since she's also a Who fan. The TARDIS looks cool too, but your figures and costumes are spectacular. OH, I know SEVERAL people who would love to discuss your work with you.
St. Louis? If you ever swing through those parts again, let me know.
Do you buy these 12" figures already as WHO characters? The Tenant and Eccleston face sculpts look fairly close. What about the costumes?
right lets see... I'm planning to move back to St.Louis either late 2010 or early 2011 but I'll be visiting before then
As for the figures.. the David Tennant and Chris Eccleston sculpts come from existing Doctor Who toys. They made a Tennant in the suit with his sonic and everything but he was difficult to find by the time I got into it so I got the Doctor in Spacesuit figure and swapped his head onto another body.
I picked up a suit for him and grabbed (in the most recent update) some shoes from a Barbie "Ken" clothing set that looked close enough.
Here is a link to amazon UK with many of their 1:6th figures.. the daleks are not true 1:6th as they are a full 12" tall
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias=toys&field-keywords=doctor+who+12&x=19&y=14 I don't know if you can import them through that but it might give you an idea what to search for.
I bought the Tennant Doctor, Cyberman, and Clockwork man from

The Eccleston head is from a walkie-talkie, I bought him on ebay from the UK.. it was a set of the Doctor and Slitheen so when you get them, it's kind of a two-fer
Costumes are another story. The Tennant Costume is a suit set I bought on ebay, Eccleston's gear (minus shoes) is all hand made by me. Baker's Pants come from the sideshow figure "The Chief" from "Get Smart" his shirt from a Donald Trump figure, and his Jacket is a dyed version of the Jacket that came with the Sideshow Roger Moore from The Man With the Golden Gun figure. His shoes are from Hasbro Indiana Jones.
#8's pants are from the Roger Moore figure again (as is his body, shirt, and shoes) the vest came with the set for Tennant and the Jacket from a snoop dogg figure. It WAS yellow and black but has been dyed.
I intend to make more accurate clothes for #8 based upon the sideshow Nosferatu's coat.
