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

Did you do anything to reshape the face or is this just a repaint? My figure's head look much thinner than that.

It's only a repaint. The funny thing is it makes the face look wider,to me anyway. It could still be a tad wider but that horrid factory paint and especially the 5 o'shadow seems to draw the face in and make it look even thinner than it is. I'll post some pics of before and after

Thanks. I may have to give it a try. Just not the best painter and I've wanted a Tom Baker for so long, I'm afraid I'll ruin it.

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.

All so true. Maybe BCS will come up with a better made scarf at sometime in the future

You could always get the smiling head. It shouldn't have the problems the original did, I hope.

Yeah, I thought his face looked wider after the repaint, too. Weird how that works. The sculpt is surprisingly good once it's uncovered

I've got that on order. Hopefully it will ship in March like I heard.

I gave the scarf a tea bath to darken it up a little. Might have another go at it

The tea bath did wonders on the scarf.

It looks good repainted. I recently got mine painted by Small Studios. Once I get the head back, I will post pics. Did you changed the body on your 4th Doctor? It looks like it has more heft to it. I plan to change mine with Truetype body I have laying around

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

Here is the one Small Studios did for me. Should I ask him to remove the eyebrows? Thanks:

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

Hmm... it looks good! Not sure about the eyebrows. maybe they are a bit too dark/distinct?

Oh, and I tried putting my Bif Bang Pow K-9 next to my Tom and it works pretty well! It's not really in-scale, but good enough for me until BCS give us a proper one.

Thanks I really hope BC make a better scarf if they produce an alternate 4th dr in the future,or as part of an accessory pack would be nice. And a must for me is a tardis key,something i feel should have been included with the 4th dr set

The body is stock on mine,im probably in the minority but i really like the body they used and the joints 'on mine at least' are all nice and tight so i don't feel the need to swap it out

Nice repaint,i would agree with jonwes that the eyebrows are too distinct and imo give a sad expression to his face. Tom has only very faint looking eyebrows if any at all. All preference at the end of the day but i think it's a case of 'less is more' when repainting the sculpt
