TOMFAN'S Customs

Magnificent work !! I really want that version of 12 to be a figure.

T/F this one of your best customs by far

Cheers guys!

Great work Tomfan. I especially like the hair!

Do you ever use metallic paint when you paint hair on your figures? I find metallic paints can give the sculpted hair a little extra 'shimmer' and depth... though one must be careful not to end up with 'chrome head'.

I'm waiting a bit before I do a 'series 9' Capaldi. I want to incorporate the hoodie (maybe using one of the hoods provided with Hawthorne or The Master?). There's no way I'm going to be able to paint those tartan/window-pane trousers though!

Cheers!

I did use a bit of dark silver in Capaldis hair, although hopefully not too much!

Capaldi is a lot like Pertwee, they both have hair that can vary in colour and shade, from one photo to the next, which makes painting it a nightmare a times!

He looks brilliant! I love his maroon jacket look. The longer hair is well done too!

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

For the polka dot version, I thought I would try and lengthen the hair slightly, so that it's somewhere inbetween the short hair version, and the full on Season 9 bouffant!

neat idea for the hair t/f

would ya look at the size of that boy's head!

Wow, love the Tetrap! Brilliant the way you sculpted the figure like putting a monster suit on an actor.

Many thanks!

Please tell me you are going to do him again but with his eyes open.
Is the background a screen of the episode?
Brilliant work as usual TF.

Did you modify the Davros figure beyond the obvious, and far superior, paint job? Any putty sculpting? If not, it at least demonstrates the base sculpt was quite amazing.

Funny thing, before I actually watched the episodes, I kinda' "smirked" at a close-up shot of the John Friedlander mask Michael Wisher was wearing. It just seemed so "exaggerated". But when I finally saw "Genesis of the Daleks" in late September 1982, I was hooked on the concept and Davros thus became my favorite DW villain. Thus I was intensely curious how the series revival would interpret him. Well, they seemed to blend the best elements of both designs. My only lament, the designers "shrank" his cranium, eliminating the "Mekon" homage present in both Wisher's and Molloy's headpieces.

I've wondered how Bleach's makeup like appear if the expanded cranium had been retained.

Sincerely,

Bill

I hadn't thought of doing an open eyed version, but what a great idea!

The background is a screengrab, although I cheated, and added Tom on a monitor screen in th background!

The front of the head was changed, to try and make it more like Bleach's new mask, and the headbrace was modified with wire.

The entire chariot was repainted, to try and make it look less plasticy, and make the silver parts appear more metalic looking.

You should do it Cap!

They don't have a Bernard Horsfall head yet? Two more and you'll be ready to put Pat Troughton on trial!
