Doctor Who: Tip Of The Tongue
As part of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, there are going to be eleven short novels from famous authors covering (as you might have guessed) all eleven Doctors. The fifth book is Tip Of The Tongue and features the fifth Doctor and Nyssa. In 1945, …
Naming the Doctor
Really enjoyed watching Name of the Doctor last night on the BBC. So we didn’t get to know the name of the Doctor (which I am pleased about) but we did get to see all the original classic Doctors, in addition to David Tennant and Chris Eccleston. I l…
Robot Mummy
In a recent game of Legends of the Old West I actually used all four Robot Mummies from my collection of Doctor Who models, as hired thugs. They didn’t have weapons, but fought in hand to hand combat, by squeezing their opponents. You can see how…
Help, there’s a dimensional vortex in Bristol!! Call the Doctor!!
In a bit of weird news, apparently there’s a inter-dimensional portal of some kind at work in a Bristol Street! A concerned member of the public has been reporting several incidents of the phenomenon, including a crack opening up and a giant snak…

Basing the Robot Mummys
Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures (these are now available from Black Tree Designs) and I bought back a few of the blisters, including the robot mummy. The Robot Mummy in the TV series was quite a…
Undercoating the Cybermen
After preparing the bases on the Cybermen I gave the models a white undercoat. The next stage will be a metallic basecoat.
Cybermen
Cybermen were a “race” of cybernetically augmented humanoid. They varied greatly in design, with different factions throughout time and space. The two major groups, from which all other known versions derived, were the Mondasian Cybermen, w…

Robot
Having finished painting the Robot from Doctor Who I started painting the base using a dark green. Get Robot on DVD at Amazon.
The Name of the Doctor
Now this is an interesting title for an episode of Doctor Who, The Name of the Doctor. I do like these movie style posters that the BBC have been doing for Doctor Who, certainly adds a theatrical and cinematic feel to the series. This is the last episo…
and March went where exactly?
OK, have fallen short there with March – so much for at least an update a month… but in my defence, I’m waiting for loads of stuff to arrive – I need some Judge helmets to finish my Urban Judges – waiting on an order from Wayland Games, waiting on so…

Daleks parade
While we are waiting for the new part of the Doctor Who television series, I wish to show you some Daleks that I own. Thanks to Alessio and Emily that bought me this Doctor Who Adventures issue, I laid my hands on a plastic set with Daleks miniatures, incidentally in 28mm scale. These are from [...]
Shapeways’ Spider Dalek
Last November I saw 3D printing in Ludica fair in Rome. So I thought about to buy something made in this way to touch a future feel. A special offer with free delivery from Shapeways gave me the opportunity to spend money for a Spider Dalek. Some days after, in Christmas time as you can [...]
The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel
Ah, a prequel to The Bells of Saint John, which airs next weekend on the BBC.
Robot
This is the metal miniature that was made by Harlequin Miniatures. After undercoating the model I gave it a basecoat of Citadel Boltgun Metal. I then gave the model a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil. This added shadow and depth to the model. Get Robot …

The Brig
Here is another of the metal miniatures from Harlequin Miniatures. This is Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was one of the founders of UNIT and commander of its UK operations. I gave the model a white undercoat. I am n…
The 3rd Doctor
