Thought I'd update from my last post:
Here's my new 5th doctor with new improved coat, trousers, & shoes From Time Quest last March.
Here's my upgraded 7th Doctor with new sweater and umbrella.
New Cyberman with upgraded knee/elbow joints:
Here's the current WIP on the Tom Tyler Captain Marvel Project. After a lot of searching I found the ideal materials to make this costume look retro 40's. Red Wool gaberdine for the tunic. Dyed red-to-match stretch cotton for the tights. Mustard yellow leather for the boots. Metallic weaved trim for the florets. Gold lame for the sash/ bolt/cuffs/cape trim. Cream Fialle rayon/cotton for the cape and piping. Fiberous gold cord for the cape / spiral gold buttons for the cape.
Boots (with tights)

Tunic/Sash and Cape should be finished late next week.
Bolt Pattern:
Cuff Pattern:
My budget didn't stretch for a Captain Marvel Jr but it did accomodate a matching 40's Tyler-esque Mary Marvel for my GF. Here's progress pics there.
Mary Marvel muslin dress and muslin cape. With any luck the final dress in gold lame and red gaberdine should be ready this weekend. The skirt will come up a touch and the sleeves will be brought down in 'puffiness' slightly.
(Almost) finished Mary Cape (Tom Tyler Style but sized down a bit):
Mary Boots:
Mary Wig - We aimed for a look between her classic 40's hair flip and her first appearance - trying to imagine what Republic Pictures would do with her hairdo circa 1942. We merged some hairstyles of Judy Garland and Ava Gardner from the period.
