Re: Show your Dr. Who props!
I finished a couple of projects recently, one that has been on my bench for a while now.
First is the Seventh Doctor's pocket watch from Silver Nemesis:
I used a 3D printed part designed by 13DoctorWho for the faceplate which fit like a glove! And then I used some metal parts from, of all things, a G.I. Joe figure for the three buttons and the top and bottom bars. I may upgrade the bars one day when I find something more to my liking but I'm very happy as it is right now. That pocket watch face was painted with Testors gloss enamel paints going by screen caps from the episode. I had to get creative with the lower half though as Sylvester covered that portion in the shots used on screen. The inside of the lid was Testor flat black. I was also able to make the lid release button still work, which I noticed they didn't do on the original since Sylvester used his thumb nail to pry it open.
Second, after years and years of wanting a metal replica of the Tenth Doctor's sonic, I found myself with three different version in my collection, so in an effort to make them all special and unique in a way I enlisted the help of GeneralFrosty once again to get this project finished. What we got was an "Eleventh Hour" variant of this RTD era sonic design (top).
We started with the Wand Company's Tenth Doctor Sonic Remote (bottom) and which I had previously drilled a hole in the base of the handle and had added a cut down screw head to match the on screen prop. From there GF used an airbrush to paint on the thin layer of blue paint to give it that grey blue coloring. After that we did a black wash to make the crackle finish stand out a bit more and finally a protective clear coat. This wasn't actually a variant I had originally wanted in my collection as really it was only seen in on one story with this coloring but when I realized having it unaltered in my collection seemed pointless, I left giving it it's own unique look would be wise and just help add one more variant to my collection. Funny how things like that work out. IN two days I added two sonic variants to my collection that I hadn't ever considered owning before. As for the second one, well, still some work to do on it so I'll share that later
