Ron Bell Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 On a lark, I did the JB models 1/76 Landrover in UNIT markings a la Dr. Who. No big deal, just green, but I had to make the actual UNIT emblem. I'm in a minority , I understand. I like John Pertwee best.
AZRhino Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Pertwee was also my favorite, Ron. Now if you could find a 1/76 scale Betsy to go with the Landrover.
Eric Aitala Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 I like it - and its the first link I've clicked in a couple days that had any scale modeling content in it. BTW, I want to do this but I need to figure out how to do a 1/24th scale TARDIS. Eric
Eric Aitala Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Then I'd need an OO scale DeLorean... E How about an OO gauge police box ...
Ron Bell Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Posted July 13, 2011 Mike, OK, that's scary. The guy that's going to replace me likes the same doctor. All, Harlequin in GB did a whole line of pewter/white metal figurines and equipment for a Doctor Who game. Included a Betsy and his flying boat thingy as well. A problem is that they are in a constant 30mm scale, so John Pertwee is the same height as Patrick Troughton or Katy Manning. They are pretty nice for their size, however.
dsteingass Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I have wanted to make a scale TARDIS for a long time. I was late getting in on the whereisthetardis.com challenge (someone made a 1:1 scale ice fishing shanty and won) If someone wants to do the math for the scale, I can scratchbuild it ;) How about an OO gauge police box ...
StephenBierce Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 1) *Runs through a transmat beam to get my DOCTOR WHO TECH MANUAL*...*runs back* Okay, TARDIS: The Police Box is 2.74 meters tall. So... K9: A facimilie in 1/25th scale would be almost exactly 11 centimeters tall, Master. Good boy. *Hands K9 a treat* I daresay there are scans of the Technical Manual, including the blueprints of the Police Box, the Control Consule, and the paper model TARDIS about the Internet. Or just fan-made drawings or graphics that you can use. 2) Bessie: she was built specifically for the show. But she was your basic Phaeton body on your basic Ford chassis (albeit a Ford PREFECT chassis ;) ) so in the scale you are talking about (1/76), any Phaeton will do as her, with some modicum of modification.

Ron Bell Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Posted August 11, 2011 I always thought of Bessie as sort of a cross between a Model T runabout and a Stanley Steamer as far as looks go, but I don't know from cars.
philp Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 While I have been liking the new Drs I will always be a Tom Baker fan (would you like a jelly baby?). I have the Dr Who tech manual someplace as always wanted to make a Dalak in about 35th scale. Then Airfix released the two kits and have been tempted but need the price to come down a little. Ron, If you have extra's of the decals, I would be interested both 76th scale and 35th.
Ron Bell Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Posted August 12, 2011 Phil, Sorry, they were "two offs". Just paper punched a white decal circle, added the cross hatching in the middle punched out with a Waldron punch from some other old decal I had and the lettering was just rub on Woodland Scenics. In 1/35, it would probably look pretty crude, but then again, given the props in the old Dr. Whos, that might be just about right. Ron
