Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers.

Return to the Doctor


Just a quick one today. After looking at the pictures uploaded last time, I realised there was something missing from the Third Dcotor:

Dandy

It took me a while to put my finger on what it was until I was watching some Who while doing something else:


I hadn't done the lining on the cape. That little splash of vivid colour that Jon Pertwee used to flash around with a flick of his cape.

So I cracked the brushes out today and tidied up the face and added the lining:

The Dandy redux

I think it makes a massive difference to how much the mini pops.

Dandy II

Again, quite happy with the shading on the black.

I also did the final glaze on Dr Hugh - incidentally, Heresy currently has a 25% off sale so there's never been a better time to treat yourself - and tidied up his face as well:
Hugh

Hugh

He still has the white toe-caps on his converse to add.

I'm in to the last stretch of the holidays now, so I realistically have time to get two things finished. My plan is to do the second Bloodbowl team and some medieval cavalry.

Stay tuned!

More Temporal Travellers - HAI!


This time from Crooked Dice:
Dandy
Although you can't tell it from my paintjob - I'm going to have to revisit this one - the likeness is very good for Jon Pertwee.

He's joined by the ever faithful Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart:
The Brig

The Brig II

And they're off for a trip to Cromer.

Cromer?

I also found, tucked away in the garage, the Heresy Doctor Hugh:
God I Hate Him
He needs another couple of glazes on the back of his coat to finish off.

Thoroughly enjoyed painting all of these and now trying to decide whether to go Victorian or Medieval for the next batch. Or maybe the last Bloodbowl team? What do we think?
