Big Chief- Doctor Who, The 11th Doctor (Matt Smith)1/6th scale review + pics

[RPM716]

Awesome custom! Is the head your own sculpt or the Big Chief sculpt?

I'm still not a big fan of the Amy head sculpt, even with the sculpted hair, but you did a fantastic job at kitbashing that outfit. Really impressive stuff. Kudos.

I'm pretty sure that's either a custom head sculpt or a major repaint on the policewoman Amy. I think the BC head as-is looks better, personally.
That being said, the outfit is truly sensational!

Thanks ryanhalo798, Ex-Parrot and JonWes!
Yes, it is a custom sculpt specifically for this 11th hour police version. I'm still new to sculpting, painting and customizing at this scale, but I'm learning along the way. Here's the sculpt before paint:

And here it is next to my personal BC version:

I'm still tweaking the paintjob, so hopefully I can liven up the eyes a bit more and get a bit more shading done.
Here's the latest pic with new details and less harsh lighting:

Well, there you go. Not having purchased the Amy piece myself you fooled me, right enough. Thought it was just a repaint, sorry.

I'll say this much, though. I think you did a better job than they did. At least yours doesn't look utterly lifeless and wall-eyed...

Absolutely fantastic Amy sculpt there! But to be honest I think the painted eyes might be a bit oversized. Something in between the size of the eyes on the original head and your custom head would probably be better.

Thanks davejames! I was going for a more wide-eyed look for Amy, so I'll see what smaller eyes would look like when I try painting another.
Here's what I was basing the proportions of my sculpt on except not the same facial expression:

I wasn't planning on putting the Stetson on my Eleven but looking at the First Doctor he just doesn't hold weight with him anymore. So this head will be replaced and the jacket thrown on too.

^^ Nice, looks good. May have to pick up that Stetson head after all...

Thought I'd bump up this thread since it is a great figure, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the series 7 version as well.
I took my 11th Doctor out of the case today to do a photoshoot with my newly finished Amy Pond 11th Hour custom:

Fantastic amy custom!

Done a few mods on this guy,lengthened the neck and reworked the ankle ball joints for better articulation.

Good work on fixing the neck. That was always my biggest fault with this figure. He had that weird stumpy neck. How did you fix it?

 

[matrix69]

I put a new plug into the neck joint,use a drill bit to make the neck hole wider for the new plug to fit. I then used a small screw to fix it in place. You could use glue to fix it but a screw is handier as you can adjust the neck length to your preferred height

Cool. Thanks for that. I might have to try that sometime. I also need mine repainted because he looks like a zombie =/

 

[davejames]

Yeah same here. I still like the figure, but he's just way too pale and expressionless for the Matt Smith Doctor.

Corrose is making little sheriff badges, I asked if he could do one that says Marshal instead and he will if some more people want this version, I thought maybe some of you might like one for your 11th Doctor to go with the stetson look.
