Doctor Who Visual Dictionary - Scans!

[Coz]

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.

Sweeeeeeeeet!

 

[Star Wars Helmets]

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

 

[franz bolo]

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

thanks

[Coz]

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]

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]

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]

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

 

[Coz]

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]

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]

Coz,

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

---RGP

 

[Coz]

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]

Thanks for that!

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

 

[Kerr Avon]

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

 

[Coz]

This any good to ya?

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

Coz.
