This is another custom I've thought about doing for a really long time. Although the Doctor Who movie wasn't the Doctor's finest 86 minutes, it still has a place in every true Whovian's heart(s).

It took me awhile to decide to finally purchase a 2nd 7th Doctor/TARDIS set, but once I did I got right to work on this custom set. The TARDIS wasn't a big change, but it was still a custom I felt was worth doing. I started by taping off all the windows, signage, and the lantern bulb. I wanted to get as close as I could to movie accuracy, so I used epoxy to create a squared top plate to the lantern. Once this was done, I spray painted the entire thing (Satin Sapphire was the closest blue I could find in spray paint) with about 3 coats. Once dry, I removed all the tape and used a brush to paint the details on the windows, door, and lantern. I reprinted the door sign to get it a deeper blue to match the new TARDIS color and viola!

The 7th Doctor took a bit more work. I didn't get him as movie accurate as I had hoped, but I think he still reflects the character true enough. I started by cutting down his sweater vest to the shape of his "new" vest. I then used epoxy again to create detail in the vest and tie. I used more epoxy to create his crazy hair which was quite a task. Once these were done, I repainted the vest, tie, hair, and coat. I left the existing scarf for simplicity, but decided to paint it red to match his movie colors.

There it is! It's always fun doing the Doctor Who customs and I love seeing all the DW customs y'all create, too. Keep 'em comin'!

Thanks for looking!

Brilliant work, but I'll just say that the pants are the wrong color, they should be green and blue but nevertheless still fantastic
