My Sonic Screwdriver Collection

[The Next Doctor]

Well, there is this guy on the board here, that for some reason won't give me his Sonic Screwdriver collection. Instead he wants to buy some bridge in New Mexico. So as a result, I had to start my own collection. So here is my little collection.

Starting with the Second Doctor - It is just a penlight

The Third Doctor - Modified Russ Sonic

The Fourth Doctor - Russ Sonic

The Fifth Doctor - Another Russ Sonic

The Ninth Doctor - CT Sonic

The Tenth Doctor - CT Sonic

The Eleventh Doctor - CO Toy

Painted CO 9th/10th Sonic

Painted CO 9th/10th Sonic - Smaller Version

The 15 Minute Sonic

Custom CO 5th Doctor Sonic

There are 2 more on the way. The Eighth Doctor's and The Next Doctor's

Not a bad collection you have there.

Not as impressive as the legendary Wazoovian collection of Sonics, but I am trying....

 

[greatwazoo42]

Well, I do have a bit of a head start on you since my first sonic was bought in 1986...

If he starts calling us young whippersnappers I'm comin' after you LOL

I'm still jealous of that collection...I only recently got into Who...and have been watching some of the classics on netflix. I really wouldn't mind having a Pertwee and Baker sonics

I am more afraid he will try and beat us with his cane and tell us to stay off his lawn.

Funny thing about the Sonics, the Pertwee has become one of my favorites, especially after adding the details in the base.

 

[greatwazoo42]

Keep it up, I'll start collecting First Doctor stuff too and shin-whack the lot of you with a replica of his walking cane.

All the details on the Pertwee do make it a very interesting model. It's funny but with all the versions of the sonics you can have one to fit each mood.

Nice collection! I really like how you redecorated the grip on the Pertwee model. What did you use? I was planning to do that as well. XD Also nice is the added part for the emitter. I like that. I finished redecorating my Baker type with slightly smaller rings http://www.therpf.com/f9/customized-rb-replicas-sonic-screwdriver-completed-111286/ Scroll down and check out the burgundy powder coat. I'm really rather proud of that one.

For the Pertwee Grip, I used the Plastic and Electrical tape, as well as black "line" tape. The emitter part is just a finishing washer and a machine screw.

Curious, I can't seem to find info on what the best method to paint the grip grooves is.

Any help would be appreciated

 

[mobius303]

For the grooves there are several methods to paint them.

One is to tape off the areas you do not want to paint then spray paint them.
The easier method is to use a fine modeling brush and a good acrylic paint and paint the groove by hand. That is the method I used with not a single problem. I then finished them with a painted on varnish I have used both a gloss and a matte coat. If any paint gets on the outside of the grooves then use a little #0000 steel wool to take it off.

Clever! i like that. I was originally thinking of the automotive pin striping tape they sell at automotive paint supply stores though admittedly I haven't seen the stuff in years XD

I used flat enamel paint with a couple drops of hardener and accelerant in it. Mobius is right on using the .0000 steel wool to get it off if you get it on the body. Even enamel paints have a hard time sticking to aluminum. Acrylic will work as well and since it'll be in the groves it won't rub off either paint you use. Just remember to let it dry completely between coats. I find that if you paint too thick it will look glopped on but if you do coats and don't let it dry completely between coats the fresh coat can take the previous one off and the smooth look will be lost.

I like the collection, where do you have them on display? Wall mounted-on a desk someone where, or in a box?
