The miniature was primed using a couple of coats of "Vallejo" Heavy Blue and shaded using "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade. The Gallifreyan was then dry-brushed with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Blue, before having his jacket buttons, hair, moustache, eyebrows and shoes 'picked out' with "Citadel" Abaddon Black. I did strongly consider applying some thin stripes over the suit, and even gave one of the Timelord's sleeves a test run. But such a delicate touch is most definitely not my forte, so in the end I opted for a plainer, yet saner, all-blue costume.
Considering that the miniature is one of the Lincolnshire-based company's latest releases, and is based upon the new Doctor Who, I thought it would make an excellent subject for my visit to the New Acquisitions area in the Challenge Library.
One x 28mm scale foot figure = 5 Points

Great work on this refreshingly new take on the Temporal Traveller. I agree that pinstripes can be hellaciously difficult to pull off, but he cuts quite the dash in a classic dark blue suit with white collar and tie. Very dapper and a great choice for New Acquisitions!

Well done. I will have to put that on my list for my next CD order.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. Lots of great temporal travellers in the CD range now, imho.
DeleteGot to say I love this entry great first entry, I wonder what's up next
ReplyDeleteCheers Galpy :-)
DeleteNice work, Simon. The blue suit looks fine without the pinstripes, I think those would be a nightmare to paint properly. As it is, he looks suitably well dressed to deal with any daleks, cybermen or other horrors that come his way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart. For my sanity's sake I thought I'd give the thin stripes a miss. :-)
DeleteNothing like a “Sharp dressed man”. Fits the bill perfectly. Nicely done and pin stripes are a pain. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bruce :-)
