Is this a commercially available kit? I am still working on my special TARDIS but probably wont get it painted up until after school is out for the semester.

If so, it's from a Fourth Doctor comic called Junkyard Demon. It's really good, and you've done a fantastic job on it!

That is the one. Have to find that one. Is it in any of the collected books?

Yeah, it's in Dragon Claw (the one with the Fourth Doctor in a burgandy outfit on the front cover.)

That the one with the obese Controller with pipes hooked up to him?

It is a fan made item. He was selling them on eBay complete, but i just had him make it for me as a kit,so I could make some modifications.

Awesome! I was just thinking the other day about when we're going to see a picture of it.

Can't wait to see it finished! You must over-the-moon with happiness at having it!

Hey that's amazing! You know, hope this doesn't distract your thinking, but it does look that you probably could make replica from the shape of the mould. I know it sounds silly but i was thinking of vac forming, taking measurements on the contours and so on. But if there's complications don't bother and enjoy the work on it, Happy for you, DUDE!

RDKS, I am so excited!! I can't wait to get it done.
MasterKahn, it is made of fiberglass and he does have a mold that he uses. It is very solid piece. I can give anyone who wants his screen name on Gallifrey Base, just PM me. I think he would do a few more.

I need to cut out the area in front of the seats and under the dash first, so my Pertwees can get their legs in it! Also, some sanding to get it nice and smooth.

The only thing that would make me happier would be Bessie.

Very cool Ronpur. I'm just buying the 3rd Doctor dvds now. I'm sure I'll want one of these soon enough. Smile

I cut out the floor area where the Doctor's legs must go. I made sure I wore a breath mask since this is fiberglass.

Also, puttied some areas that were pitted and sanded them smooth. Next up is a shot of primer.

Love the close up 'detail' shots!,Ronpur. Kind of reminds of the times of building Garage Kits based on Gerry anderson shows.

Looks fantastic! *squeee* Very Happy

Subject: Re: Ronpur's Custom Figure and Model thread! Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:15 am

OK, after 3 days of putty and sand paper and primer, I am quite happy with the smoothness.

The Doctor is eager to get on board for a test flight!!

The actual Doctor who will ride in it will need some modification to sit correctly.

I hope C.Options release more Pertwees, with altered hair styles! I really love to own a 'Spiders' Blue suit type! but then again he looked amazing in all his 'Who' wardrobe.

Indeed. I love the purple jacket in Planet of the Daleks and the blue jacket with the gray coat in Dinosaurs quite a little bit myself. Still need a red jacket Pertwee, as he wore that one quite often.

I'm sure that Ron, rdks and the rest of my "Pertwee Posse" bretheren would agree.

Looks like the Doc is having fun driving around! Great stuff, Ron!

It's coming along nicely!

That is looking awesome, Ronpur! I hope all goes well with the final paint!

Gave her an undercoat of red on the wings last night. Today, I am off to the hobby store for some silver metallic flake paint, and hopefully some detail parts for the headlights and cockpit.

I see the K-1 robot is helping you out, Ron. Good deal. Give him the paint gun.

I love how the background is just a random mess of Who merchandise. Good stuff.
