ScottishDave Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I've been building Doctor Who stuff lately. The first eleven Doctors plus War Doctor: Classic console room: There are more photos on my flickr album. If you want to make these minifigs yourself: I have listed the parts I used for each miniifig in the descriptions of the photos on flickr. I have also included links to the parts on bricklink. Have fun :-). Feel free to suggest better designs for any of the Doctors: and if anyone has a purist way of making ol' grumpy eyebrows (the 12th Doctor) I'd be very interested.

Andy D Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I really like them... But the Fourth Doctor's hair looks a little much like clown hair to me. I like the hair style of the Sixth Doctor better. Most of the Doctors look very recognizable. Andy D Quote
Tariq j Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Really good job. All these Doctors look screen accurate. What pleases me is the way you've captured the classic TARDIS, good job. Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Looks great! I think War should have 10's hair in grey though Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 AWESOME doctor collection there......great looking Tardis interior......Brick On 'ScottishDave' ! Quote
Jared Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Very nice, you've got a lot of the same ideas as I do! I've made a really good 12th Doctor, but I'm not sure I'm ready to share the secret yet... need to make a moc this week before I upload him! ;D Quote
ScottishDave Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Very nice, you've got a lot of the same ideas as I do! I've made a really good 12th Doctor, but I'm not sure I'm ready to share the secret yet... need to make a moc this week before I upload him! ;D I have seen your flickr page - excellent thirteen doctors! I love the torso on the War Doctor - is that a custom, or a regular lego piece? Looking forward to seeing your 12th. Quote
ScottishDave Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Looks great! I think War should have 10's hair in grey though Indeed he should. I see that the Tennis Ace collectible minifig has this hair in tan. That's probably close enough: and if it isn't, I can paint it . I really like them... But the Fourth Doctor's hair looks a little much like clown hair to me. I like the hair style of the Sixth Doctor better. Good suggestion. I almost used that hair, but then I realised that it fitted the 8th Doctor much better. I didn't want to use the same hair on both... they don't really look the same to my eyes. The hair I used on ol' "Teeth & Curls" is the Disco Diva hair - I thought that this was appropriate, given that he is a Prima Donna from the '70s. I need this in my life... Thanks! I have detailed the parts I used for each minifig in their descriptions on flickr, with links to bricklink: so if you want to have a go at making them, the info is all there.

Looking forward to seeing your 12th. Thank you my good man! It's a regular piece, Captain Barbosa's torso from Pirates of The Caribbean (the Isla Del Muerta). I changed it, however, to the same one you used quite a while ago. I'll post it tomorrow! :D Quote
Jared Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hehe, here we go! I would've prefered Bilbo's torso for 4, but I don't have any and I'm still waiting on the Bricklink order... Quote

Awesome - another great Diorama. I think your War Doctor especially looks great - I can't think of anything I'd do to make him better. I note also that you have the eighth Doctor from the audio adventures - excellent choice, sir! I see it's not so much "share the secret" of the twelfth Doctor as "hide him behind a bloody great Sonic" then . I think I'm seeing: Owen Lars hair Magneto Head Town Blazer torso Black trousers ... and something red wrapped around his middle? It's a great combo, especially the Magneto face. Have you considered Aragorn legs with this combo, perhaps with an eraser taken to the middle of the hips to match the cut of the blazer? Quote

Now I have to go make the ACTUAL creations for them. *cough**cough *cybermantomb2nddoctor*cough**cough* *godcomplex11thdoctor*cough*... excuse me, I must be a little sick or something. ;) Sorry, I didn't realize until after the fact that the sonic was covering a lot of his body. You definitely have 80% of it down. The thing on his waste is actually two modified capes, a shortened version of the dark blue mini cape (achieved by cutting with scissors, usually I'm against modifying unless it works well) and same deal with the long red cape, after which I lay down the red and cover it with the dark blue one, and tada! I just wish LEGO made 10's hairpiece in light bluish grey, it would work SO WELL for the War Doctor. I really love Mr. McGann's audio costume. Seriously. I mean, I've got three different outfits, but I got Dark eyes 2 yesterday, and I really love these stories. I wish they would have used the outfit in the prequel for The Day of the Doctor, but nonetheless, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out! Although I've got to admit you're aragorn idea is brilliant! Edited January 14, 2015 by Jared Quote

God Complex was an excellent episode, and Tomb of the Cybermen is one that I re-watched with the kids recently. There are so many good cybermen designs out there. This one by Mark Stafford is my current favourite "purist" design, but it is difficult to get hold of the parts.

Although I've got to admit you're aragorn idea is brilliant! Ah.... thank you. That is good. I may well have to try that. I have both a red and a dark blue cape somewhere. I also have a set of Aragorn legs, so I'll try both. I just wish LEGO made 10's hairpiece in light bluish grey, it would work SO WELL for the War Doctor. *cough* wouldn't change anything apart from better hair, which is a given. I have a "Tennis Ace" with that hair in tan on order. When he arrives, I may well paint the hair grey and post another pic. BYW, what legs did you use on the War Doctor? EDIT: Nevermind, found them. Lone Ranger legs in dark brown. This would make a great CMF set. I wasn't even thinking of that when I used the CMF bases - but you are right! Hmmm... how to make it up to 16. Perhaps a Master and a Missy? Or a Cyberman? I think we do need some galaxy-spanning foes in the mix! Edited January 15, 2015 by ScottishDave Quote
MAB Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I think Tom Baker's hair is OK, and it's good you don't repeat the hairpieces in the same colours. It's funny, whenever I see MOCs of Colin Baker, they always remind me more of the Fast Show's Colin Hunt rather than Dr Who due to the clothes they both wore and similar hair...

Thank you, I'm glad someone understands . It's funny, whenever I see MOCs of Colin Baker, they always remind me more of the Fast Show's Colin Hunt rather than Dr Who due to the clothes they both wore and similar hair... I'd never heard of that guy, and I sure wish I hadn't now. Curiously: that is Charlie Higson under that wig, who amongst many other things is author of a very fine Doctor Who story. Is it possible that he modelled an abrasive clown named Colin on a certain Doctor? . Quote

Lone Ranger legs in dark brown. Ha, aw, thank you! I hope they don't disappoint! Mark Stafford definitely did a fantastic job on the Cybermen. I absolutely admire his version. I still can't get over that Aragorn's leg technique! It's truly amazing. Honestly, my one pales in comparison to something so ingenious! Yeah, the tennis ace hair is close, but honestly, for me it's more about colour than style. I can overlook the style, but the colour will bother me to no end. That's right, it is the lone ranger legs! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, only saw the reply now! ;D Quote
