caddyman: (Doctor)
As I anticipated, the painting and building of the Doctor figure for my "Welcome Aboard" TARDIS kit is proving a little trickier than the TARDIS, which provided its own series of challenges.

Basically, while the pieces are crisply sculpted and moulded, they are small and very detailed. When you have fingers like bananas, this adds to the fun and inventive use of language. It is fiddly, painstaking work. Here is a picture of the torso assembly prior to its final paint - I have to wait now until the Milliput has set where I have had to fill the gap on the jacket collar. Below the cut I have stuck a number of pictures showing in rather blurry fashion (I had difficulty finding a focus with the camera), the development of the paintwork on the Doctor's head. You can get a sense of scale from my fingers.

Interesting penultimate episode of Torchwood tonight on BBC3.

A little bit of history, a little bit of UNIT and a piece of continuity setting up the finale in two weeks time nicely.

That's your lot. Anything more would rank as spoilers.
