TARDIS Keys Anyone?

Not bad. The Pertwee isn't quite as crisp on the patterns but looks pretty good. The McCoy is nice and smooth in the seal and that look very good. I love the TVM key. You've rounded some details on the neck off but that's not a complaint as you've gotten the others correct. You even got the lines on the constellations matched well. Very good! Now if you can really cast these in lead free pewter I'll probably take one of each. XD I could always use more XD

Wow, thank you for the very objective review. :thumbsup Let's see if I can address a couple comments.

Re: The Pertwee Key.

If you're referring to the outer edges of the details looking softer I could sharpen them easily (it's only the result of hand-sanding), but I hate to lose detail height. If you mean the over-all shape of the details...erm...those are tells man. :lol

Re: McCoy Key.

Ahh man! You have no idea how happy I am to hear that. That thing was a BEAR! :lol

Re: McGann Key.

Well spotted. I guess I got carried away on the idealizing with this one. But after trying to match all of the sloppy cuts on the Pertwee it's not hard to see why.

Re: Pulling them off in pewter.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'll be ordering casting supplies in the next couple weeks, and I plan on getting extras to allow for a practice round. :thumbsup

They look great to me!

Freakin' Awesome!

Freakin' Awesome!

On the Pertwee key, yeah I was just concerned with
the pattern detail edges looking a bit soft and casting softening them further but on a second look...I don't think it'll matter.


Lol, well the McCoy key certainly looks good. The seal looks a lot like the resin key seal so yeah you're good there.


The TVM key. Yeah I don't think it's a problem though. I honestly think it sets yours apart from the 800-TREKKER key in that it doesn't look like it was cast from one which would have been the easy route to take I think.


Awesome. If it works out I'll take one of each for my collection. ^_^
 
Great work. Lovely pieces, truly. A few quick question re the Pertwee key. Are you planning to make this as one piece or back & front as two pieces then glued together. Any thoughts on making a 'clean' version of this key so both arms are the same?

Also am loving the McCoy too. If you are thinking of doing a double sided version non screen accurate, I'd be interested. As much as I like this prop, I dislike the back & think that a double side looks more like a key.

Cheers
 
Great Job on the keys. I ended up here looking for reference material around making a key myself I got the same idea the other day for a practice item to cast and make a resin copy. In no way do I expect to get something going that is as nice as you put together. Well Done !
 
These are awesome ! I made an account just to say that I love these and you did a great Job. I personally don't watch doctor who but my girlfriend's sister does and if you are going to sell these I would most certainly have to buy some for her because this craftsmanship is amazing
 
These look great, I made the pertwee and McCoys in pewter
About a year ago just haven't gotten around to posting
Them on here , they are on the Mooncrest models website,

Thank you!

In fact, your keys are part of the reason I put off going any further with mine. The timing was just too close, y'know?

Your Pertwee, by the way, is amazing! :cool:thumbsup
