Kind of curious-how tall is ES? I've been wondering whether a 27 or 25 cm body would be better for a Sarah Jane.

A quick Google says she's 5' 4.

OK! Here is a first look at the Sarah Jane Smith head sculpt, displayed in clothes I hand picked out myself.
I used the episode "Revenge of the Cybermen" as one of my main references.

As usual, young smooth beautiful female faces are extraordinarily difficult to get right. The slightest "offness", if I may coin a term, can ruin the likeness. I spent a lot of time trying to perfect her facial shape! That being said, I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

Excitement bump!

Chris,
Is there any more WIP shots of either Sarah Jane or the other 2 that you're able to post yet?

 

[samueljd]

Those Sarah Jane WIPs look pretty good.

 

[knucklefunger]

I couldn't be more stoked to paint a sculpt!!!!!

 

[vikkitx]

Hey Guys! Vikki sent me her new outfit for Sarah Jane so I'll shoot some photos this weekend of the revised Sarah Jane in this really nice new outfit. It's a bit more modest.....

Chris planned a photoshoot of the revised head two weeks ago. Here's hoping the revisions have gone well and pics will be posted soon!

Yeah,I'm looking forward to seeing the finished sculpt painted and on a base body with your "Hand of Fear" outfit.

Vikki,
Those sneak-peek "Hand of Fear" outfit pics you E-mailed me were freakin amazing! You captured exactly how "cute" it was supposed to look on her perfectly. That had to be pretty hard to capture 1:6 and must have taken a lot of attempts. Great work!!! :chew:chew

The good news is that Chris has been silent online for a few weeks and that's always VERY exciting because it means he's locked himself away in his dungeon to work on stuff again. He just goes down there with lots of caffine, Fritos, and his collection of David Hasselhoff CD's and does his magic. You never know what he'll emerge with. Who knows, maybe that pic of Sarah in costume will now include a Tom as well?
Hey, one can hope!!!

Anyone have any suggestions for edojoe as far as if the jacket styling is on? This cat is a master with clothing. I don't know enough about the wardrobe of the show to offer any advice. Any good pix of Baker's jackets?

How about the cardigan vest/sweater? Anyone know of anything that will work?

Years ago, I made the red jacket for a Denys Fisher Dr Who figure, complete with elbow patches, vents in the back of the jacket, and trim along the pockets. I'm planning to make a 1:6 scale version later, and already have a few pattern pieces worked out so far. As usual, I'm modifying existing historical patterns, since most costumes from our favorite films and TV shows are made (or adapted) from existing historical patterns. I've listed some sources and suggestions on the Tips, Tricks, Tutorials, and Random How-To Guides page on my website.

For reference pictures when I'm sewing, I usually hit the Doctor Who Image Archive. Rick invariably digs up great reference photos for outfits, but I never can remember the websites he hits.

In the past, to find an in-scale version of a knit design, I've had to cut up a pair of socks, then sew the pieces together like any other vest or sweater. That sort of cardigan design appears on various socks. The trick is to find the design in the correct colors. I've been looking, but haven't had any luck yet.

The Image Archive is good. The main site I like to hit is Doctor Who's Tragical History Tour. They are amazing for ref, but I've had a problem enlarging pics from thumbnails since they made over their website recently. Might just be my computer though.

Vikkitx, Toupe Thanks for the info. Gonna check out the site later today for reference for painting

Vikki, Those sneak-peek "Hand of Fear" outfit pics you E-mailed me were freakin amazing! You captured exactly how "cute" it was supposed to look on her perfectly. That had to be pretty hard to capture 1:6 and must have taken a lot of attempts. Great work!!!

Thanks! Here are a couple of quick pics to give folks an idea of what my 1:6 version of the "Hand of Fear" outfit looks like on a Dragon female body. (Obviously, the head sculpt isn't close to Sarah Jane. I'd hoped to have Chris's Sarah Jane head sculpt in the pics of this outfit, and to have more time available before I moved to sew additional outfits, but that didn't work out as planned.)

I had to custom print the stars, and the striped fabric for the socks. All the red piping on the overalls is hand-sewn. I found the shoes with a Ken outfit. If anyone knows of a better match for Sarah Jane's red sneakers, please let us all know!

If anyone is interested in buying one of these outfits, send me an e-mail after you read this webpage with info on payment and shipping methods, important notices about waiting periods, etc. I'll be moving in May, so I'll be packing up all my sewing stuff in mid-May, and won't get a chance to sew again for a while after that due to having to unpack everything else upon arrival. I've already sold most of the "Hand of Fear" outfits I made earlier, so the waiting period. Please take that into account before you order anything.
