Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Thanks mate, I'm very proud of him. The 4th Doctor is my favourite, and I love Doctor Who so this is my Grail!
The scarf is real tiny knitting! And he's had a repaint and custom coat and shirt, on a HT body.
The BC sculpt is very good.

So, I've decided to order it! Very exited! Can anybody give suggestions on making it look better? Any minor modifications?

That depends on your definition of minor, and how good you are with a paint brush. The first change I'd make is to repaint the head. The second change I'd make is to get a new scarf. In my case, both of these are major changes.

I haven't had much experience with 1:6 scale figures before so I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to paint the head. :/

I'd swap the body for a Hot Toys one. And you can find a good painter on this very forum to repaint the head for you. That's if you decide it needs it. It's the 5oclock shadow that bothers people, but it's darker on some figures than others. You may get lucky and get one that's liveable.

You should be making scarfs for BC,that's quite amazing work! Tom is my favouite too,never bettered.That's quite an amazing looking McGann behind him as well

Then don't touch it But a repaint will set you back a bit. In fact to bring this figure up towards HT quality you'll need a body swap, as CaptainJames has mentioned, a new scarf and new paint. That'll make this figure about a $500+ outlay. So I've kept mine stock and I'm happy that even stock, it's the best and likely only stock 4th Doctor we'll ever see in 1/6.

When i first got mine i was blown away,the good really outweighs the bad. It was one of a few grail pieces for me so i was hyped up. A few things let it down as was said,but if your not happy with the paint apps BC have a new smiling headsculpt coming out in a few months which i think is reasonable priced

Good point mate! Yes the smiling head has the improved paint and is £35 I think. Lovely sculpt too, bargain I say. Out in March I think. I have one ordered

Even though I love the somber look, that's amazing. Can't wait for the alternate head.

Hmm. I hope the final version is looking straight ahead and not down.

I haven't bought the alternate head yet but this pic pretty much seals it for me.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Looks really nice there. Wish they would show it with the other hat/hair piece on.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I've preorder the alternate head but haven't actually got around to buying the figure yet : S
Do BCS issue low stock alerts on their webpage?

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Could somebody please tell me the actual inch height of the BC Tom Baker? With the hat on and off?

 

[pixletwin]

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

i can.... With the hat on he is exactly 12 inches. Confirms something I have suspected for a while that BCS figures are just a fraction smaller than true 1:6. Has anyone else found that tom be true?

 

[matrix69]

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I measured him at 12in without the hat and a tad over with it on

He looks so much better without that hobo makeup. They need to fire the person who likes to coat these things in dirt

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Oh I agree.

Also I wish his face hadn't become so pinched in the manufacturing and that the scarf was stronger colours. I always associate him with the earth tone version, which look so much nicer.
