Papercraft Friday #60: Doctor Who Cybershade
September 25, 2009
Last week saw the release of the new Doctor Who series 2008 Christmas Special Doctor Who: The Next Doctor on DVD. Now that you’ve had a chance to buy it and watch it (you have… haven’t you?), you can download and build this Cybershade mask featured in the story. The mask build is rather crude by modeler standards, but anyone who has built a few models can enhance it pretty easy. Enjoy, before it’s (or you’re) deleted!
Papercraft Friday #59: Doctor Who’s K9
September 18, 2009
Some readers that caught my griping about lack of Doctor Who papercraft sent me some links that I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks. The first is a post from Tektonten Papercraft. The model is of K9 from the classic Doctor Who series. The original template came from Doctor Who Adventures magazine, and was modified by Sean Huxter to take out the fold line dashes. Quick, easy, fun model. Should you download this model and build it now? Affirmative!
Papercraft Friday #57: Doctor Who Adipose
September 4, 2009
Compared to other sci-fi like Star Trek and the like, finding good Doctor Who papercraft is a challenge. Finding practically any Doctor Who papercraft is a challenge! So seeing the Adipose papercraft that Sponzar posted on HunkyDorky just made my day. Those little fat balls from the Doctor Who episode “Partners In Crime” are so darn cute!
The inspiration of a penguin model from Madagascar is brilliant in its simplicity.
Free Doctor Who: The Mists of Time
August 20, 2009If you’ve never tried any of the Doctor Who audio series from Big Finish before, you’ve been missing out on some good stuff. Now’s your chance to give it a try – for free! The 19 August issue of Doctor Who Magazine (Issue #411) has a link and code to Big Finish Productions website. According to the site:
There’s a brand new audio adventure that readers can download for free that’s exclusive to Doctor Who Magazine! The story forms part of the Companion Chronicles series, in which the Doctor’s friends and allies recount previously untold adventures.
The Mists of Time features the Third Doctor and his companion, Jo Grant. When Jo finds herself on a distant planet in the far future, she’s greeted by an archaeologist, Calder, who is marooned on the deserted world. With no memory of how she arrived, Calder reminds her that they’ve met before – and she starts to recall a tale of ghosts and murders and a terrible Time Lord secret…
The Mists of Time stars Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Andrew Whipp as Calder.
The story is full length, clocking in at 1:27:43. Follow the link and enter code 01795 to download. While there, check out their other special DWM exclusive offers, as well as the rest of their audios.
Coveroo
August 12, 2009
Justin turned me onto Coveroo, who make custom covers for cell phones and other devices. The covers are exact replacements for your phone, with the design lasered in. He got a sweet Star Trek one for his Bold prior to the movie this summer, and I knew it was just a matter of time before I’d get a Coveroo for my Blackberry 8900. I did the Seal of Rassilon from Doctor Who. I like it because it’s very iconic to fans of Doctor Who, and for non-fans it’s a nice design and not a garish logo or some equally tacky design. There were no Doctor Who designs on Coveroo, so I did a custom design and sent them the logo. Turnaround was only about a week, and I think it looks great.
