Doctor Who Series 4 props (possible spoilers)

[Howlrunner]

OK, Series 4 of Doctor Who started here in the UK yesterday (6/4/08) and there are already possibilities for cool props. Thought it might be fun kicking some ideas around as the series progresses.

Number one on my wish list would be the Adipose Industries pendant/necklace! A cool prop that shouldn't be too hard to make (if you have access to a machine shop. Sadly, I don't.....) - basically just a 3D oblong (like a pill/capsule) made in two halves that can rotate around the central horizontal join. It also has the Adipode logo etched onto it. Pics for YouTube clips:

This one seems shorter, but appears to be the only one that twists

Magnified inscription - "Adipose" with some writing underneath it. Most likely it says "Industries" as it appears to be a copy of this logo:

There's also the box that the Adipose pills come in (though don't remember actually seeing it on screen). Here's the front of the packet:

Would need more reference material to do the whole pack though.

The other would be the Adipose creatures themselves. Such a basic looking creature would/should be fairly simple to sculpt:

That spoiler just makes me want to finish Season 3 all the sooner!

Thanks!

<3 the Doctor!

The pendant would be nice but i'd like a sonic pen more :cool

 

[hokie1]

I agree. The sonic pen would be more exciting.

It looks like an off the shelf pen to me that just had a blue LED added to the end.

Any ideas?

Oooooo...... Looky what I just found on eBay:

Not exactly the same - the join isn't half way down the pendant - but pretty close! :cool

Pretty much ALL of the ones I can find open nearer to the top. Only found one that opens in the middle - and it was silver. They must be out there though.....

Does anyone have any clear screencaps of the sonic pen? The top bit looks very similar to a UV Light pen you get free with Smirnoff in Japan. Could probably be adapted if I find the right sized bottom 1/2 and paint it black.

Sorry picture's not very clear, used my cell phone for these.

What about the Doctor's "tricorder"?

I think that the pen was probably scratch built, If you look at the end, it has a 'cage' where the blue LED emitter is. From different pictures it also seems to extend and retract. It is alos possible to see the small grub screw holding it together. (by th eway I am working on a newerr and better version of tennant sonic as well as the laser screwdriver whch i will post up shortly.
Here's a screen cap to show what i mean:

S4 Ep. 2 - Fires Of Pompei aired at the weekend - in it the Doctor uses a gun!

Alright, so it's a water gun:

Note the 'Captain Jack' pose!

Didn't Tom Baker's Doctor use a water pistol once?

Received this offa eBay this morning:

Here's the header card:

It says 'SPLASH WATER PISTOL' and 'NO:657' on the side and 'Made in China' on the barrel.

And after painting the grips to match the grabs:

Pretty fragile plastic, and the grips are well glued so I had to mask off for paint (you can see the inside of the grip is still orange). I've seen similar pistols with blue grips, but lighter than in the ep - or it could be the lighting.

Not a bad wee prop for £1, plus postage! Quick turnaround, too.

I also have a couple of these in blue for blaster building - they also have orange grips.

Coz.

Ok I know it's from the Christmas Special, but it's easier to associate it with Series 4 since it will be on the Series 4 dvd set. I would love to see the thing from Bannakaffalatta they use to destroy the host (it created some type of pulse). I forget what it's called (I would have to go back and rewatch the episode), but it looks like a really big sonic screwdriver withtout the light on top.

I would also like to see one of those Host halos.

Oh and the teleport bracelet. Not a bad little prop there either.

I wish I could have posted some pics.

Cheap cool 'prop'

Anyone get caps of the other sonic screwdriver from the library episodes.

 

[DoctorWho]

use the search for sonic screwdriver and you will find what you seek.
