WGP's CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO- SARAH JANE NOW AVAILABLE

[captainjamesbrooke]

I think the 'wig' hair idea sounds good. And I reckon will be the best bet for Romana's hair.
Very excited for all this great classic Who stuff!

Thanks! We'll mix it up as we need to. When we do that "Frontier in Space" theme in late 2012 we have mentioned before, Jo will need to have sculpted hair to really catch her specific style, but maybe wecan use Kals suggestion then in neccesary.

Just a fun update, Chu has asked for some other characters to work on in between his three Indys and two Hans he is doing to keep himself fresh and not go into a Harrison Ford burnout, so I gave him Romana II and S18 Tom. The costumes are still being made Jan/Feb but it's never too early to see the heads (plus we need to send the Romana head to the wig maker).

After seeing his work on Kirk and Indy, I can't wait to see his S18 Tom. His face had a good bit of sag and wrinkling to it by then, should make for some nice detail.

UPDATES AND A QUESTION

Alright gang, Chu has already sent me his first WIP pics of Romana II and it looks awesome, and is already nearly done! He is just changing her expression a bit because she could have a serious face that could bore holes through you and I really wanted that (laugh).

At the rate he works, the Romana head should be done by the end of the week for me to show everyone, if not sooner. The I will get it printed and set for wig making.

And now for a question that really pains me greatly, and this is not a question I would normally ask:

Just for a quick poll- what body would you prefer the S18 Tom be made for? (winces). I think all of us are pretty diverse in what we do- for height I kind of prefer a Sideshow body but I'm not married to it. Some people just go for a Hot Toys body because it is the best and don't worry about height, etc.

So just give me shout outs on that so I know what the most popular seems to be to tell the tailor.

Also a huge shout out to Trevor22A for all of his help with costume ref!

Thanks everyone!

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (Tom body question!)

For S18 Tom, I would recommend a TTL 3.0. The body's are relatively slim, have great articulation, are as tall as a Buck and with the S18 shirt having such a wide open collar, I think a neckless sculpt would look better. Here's a pic of a TTL next to one of my Tom's for height and build reference.

Interesting suggestion, amigo! I like the idea of the neck being attached. I will order one to cherck it out!

Now that I'm home on my own computer and not on my work one (which sometimes distorts pictures), the body looks really beefy and chunky like an older Hasbro body. I dunno...

Thanks Doom, I'll mark your vote down!

It's not though. It's very comparable to a truetype, just taller and a bit slimmer.

Check out this thread from OSW.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (Tom body question!)

Here is the first WIP peek at Romana. Keep in mind the hair is just placement for while he's sculpting and then actual head will be bald.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First Romana II pics!)

Looks pretty good.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (Tom body question!)

Looking really good, but I think the nose could be upturned just a touch more. Lalla was a bit snouty.

Wow, I think your home computer might distort pictures too if it's making a TTL 3.0 look like a Hasbro body!

The 3.0 is pretty skinny and gives you plenty of room to layer clothes without losing the scrawniness.

Hi Xeno!
The head is at the molders again now after being cleaned up more, and should be getting cast this week (along with our Ashoka head and Kolchak).

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First Romana II pics!)

Good to hear! Time to get the body and stuff ready then!

I ordered off for one today. No worries. Thanks amigos!
Also I passed on the crit on Romanas nose. I could see her nostril shape needed to be longer and more exposed on the profile view. I'm sure we will be getting an updated version soon.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First Romana II pics!)

Romana update- amended nose. For people just coming in, she will actually be bald for a wig to fit on. The hair shown here is just to help see the likeness.
