I cannot wait to see all of these! I wonder how many total we will see? The Sonics are coming... this is so cool!

All I can say is don't be too pleased with mine. It's a simplistic design and construction. I call it "The Midway", and you'll see why when you look at it.
 
just watched it matt smith ...not bad as the doctor
but who the hell did the opening titles and the bloody cgi
it was awful, the titles look like a kids show
other than that a great episode
 
Working on gluing up my sonic today. I can't wait to see them all. They're like Mini Coopers, one by itself is cute, but a bunch of them together is overwhelmingly cute!! So, yeah, down to gluing up, a little paint touch-up, and, of course, that one elusive I-really-wish-I-could-find-the-perfect-little-piece-for-this-spot piece I'm still looking for!?!

Nearly done. Had to redo a fair bit, after a failure to get the original idea to work like I wanted.
 
I never got around to this. Inspiration just wasn't with me this time. :( Oh well, I cannot wait to see the sonics.
 
I'm still determined to do this, but I don't think I have enough time to make it the way I want it to be.
 
I myself am almost done as well. I thought I was finished but after I got back from a business trip, inspiration struck me hard and I had to go back at it again. I still can't wait to see all of these entries. I hope at least some have taken some progress images and won't mind giving up a few secrets.
 
~~~!!! I have finished !!!~~~
woohoo!!!!

Okay, is there a size the pictures we submit should be.....
.....some >< parameters?

Also can we all start posting our pictures at some point?

I'm really interested in seeing what people did and swapping ideas with other people.
 
I will post the pics in a dedicated thread after the deadline (24-48hrs after). Once the contest is over you can post them for yourselves. The reason for this is to keep anonimity of the makers, so we don't have a popularity contest. This has worked pretty well in the past.
 
so basically, the rule is to keep it to yourself until after the winners are announced correct?
So after we finally get to see all these cool creations... the suspense continues! I love it!
 
The 15th is still the deadline correct? Between day to day life and the ^&*$%*$ main body issues I've been having with my build I need all the time I can get. :(
 
I am new to the Doctor Who universe. Is there a good reference to some sonic screwdriver anatomy for noobs (analogous to lightsabers having emitters, pommels, grips, activation switches, etc.). I might still be able to put something together before the 15th, but I like to have in-universe reasons for putting pieces together (each part has a theoretical function, if you will).

Hope that helps!
 
That is very helpful! Thank you!

I almost finished the whole thing in just a few hours. I have a few extra bits I need to complete... expect my submission soon! :)

That can be just as much fun as spending weeks on a prop! I've done a few "24 hour" prop builds... did a lightsaber that way, and a blade runner blaster. Sometimes being under the gun keeps you from obsessing over things for no reason.
I seriously can't wait to see all of these... this is going to be awesome!
A HUGE thank you to the Next Doctor for all this!
