Some good stuff here.... http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mimrie/dalek/daleka.htm

Geralday has a Tardis, a K9 and a scarf here

Sonic Screwdriver (.dxf and .cob formats)

Although Poser can read some .dxf files, I highly recommend downloading the trueSpace .cob version and using a third-party utility to convert it to .obj format. LithUnwrap or MilkShape can probably do the job.

Just out of interest who like me saw the first episode live?

Wasn't the first episode aired in 1963? :) I was just a tad too young to have seen that originally (at 1 y/o), but my father (and I) used to watch the third Doctor religiously (Pertwee). I didn't start watching it again until Tom Baker. As for that horrid attempt at an eighth Doctor, well let's not mention it. ;0) BYS

I'm told that I watched the first episode, but I don't remember the occasion - I was 4. I subsequently grew up on the programme, though.

I didn't see the first episode live, not being quite old enough despite the way my son sometimes makes me feel, but I have got, on video, the first filming of the first episode (which they refilmed before broadcasting)- fluffed lines, shakey sets and all. 8-)

I did! :o). I was seven and became an instant fan. 5 o'clock every Saturday night. William Hartnell playing the Doctor. (That wasn't the filming HaiGan, he was a shaky actor.) Jon Pertwee was the one I remember best. Loved that car.

I grew up on Tom Baker and Peter Davidson. Though my favourite companion was Ace. I think that has something to do with reaching puberty at the time though! ;-)

Which reminds me... I was talking to my Dad about Dr Who a while back and he told me about one of the older episodes. It had the Master sat on top of a hill with a machine gun waiting for the Norman invasion of 1066. His plan was to change history for some reason or other... I've just had the weirdest sense of deja-vu! Have we done this before? Anyway, as I was going to say! They had some great storylines in amongst the dodgy sets, old disused quarries and dubious aliens!

Thankfully the episodes are slowly coming out on DVD now. Im' a total Whovian. I went to several Dr. Who conventions and saw Jon Pertwee, Peter Davidson, the Master (Anthony ___, I'm blanking on his last name), and Laila Ward, among others. I even saw Shada - the unfinished Tom Baker story that was canned due to a BBC strike. Oh, it's not fair it wasn't finished. It was hilarious! Yes, I still have my Dr. Who scarf ....

I saw the first episode -about two teachers tracing Susan I seem to remember- I was but a tadpole at the time though Had my Dr Who scarf - my sister knitted it for me, every so often she would knit a bit more - damn thing ended up about twelve feet long. Patrick Troughton was the Dr for me -a very sharp character that hid behind stupidity... an aged and wrinkled narsil

Our PBS station started running Dr. Who, several years back, in the 80's I think. Anyway, I discovered the good Doctor then and got completely hooked. They even had a period when they re-started from the very beginning episode in B&W, and went thru the whole series to the most recent one available at the time. My favorite incarnation of the Dr. is Tom Baker. I think they ran them up until the mid 90's or so.

I started with the first episode and I was a teenager at the time. Then when I had my kids I forced them to watch the show ;-) They've been collectors of all things Dr Who ever since.
My father was a friend of the actor who played the talking Dalek.
Tom Baker was my favourite.

Crescent; The Master = Anthony Ainley. Succeeded Roger Delgado, who'd died.

That wasn't the Master trying to stop the Harold Hardrada, so that Harold Godwinson would be well rested for Hastings, but another guy-with-a-Tardis - I don't think they had got around to Timelords and Gallifrey by then. The other GWAT was actually well-intentioned, unlike the Master Nb I'm not that old, only a few months older than the series, but they had a brief flurry of repeats a while back and that was one of them. They also did the Autons and the Silurians with Pertwee, but then they re-re-repeated "Genesis of the Daleks" and used the lower audience figure as an excuse to stop.

I didn't discover the good Doctor until the mid-80's when a wonderful Whovian artist, Gail Bennett, convinced me first to watch the show, then to do artwork based on it and then to go to my first sci-fi convention to sell my paintings....thereby changing my life's path :) Over the years, I met all of the living Doctors and had the enormous fun of taking Colin Baker and the Brigidier to Muir Woods to see the redwoods. But my heart will always belong to Jon Pertwee ;) How I envy those of you who were fortunate enough to grow up with the show!

I read the book. Does that count? Tried to get our local late nite horror show. Dr. Shock's Shock Theater out of Chattanooga to get some episodes. He instead got some Philippine monster movies with Herve Villaches ( Remember Tatoo from Fantasy Island). They had some topless scenes that aired and dock shock got fired. It wasn't untill the eighties that PBS started running the Baker episodes. I taped them all.

steerpike - Thanks. I knew the name, I just couldn't retrieve it from the old memory banks. (2Kb drive, lots of bad sectors, I think.) ;-) smiller1 - AAAHHH!!! You wonderful person, you! OOHH! Happy dance! Happy dance!

I attended Visions four years in a row and had the pleasure to meet several of them (Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison (not DaviDson), and Colin Baker. Several companions as well, and Anthony Ainley. All of them extremely nice people. Love that show! I didn't discover it until the mid to late 80's either, when I accidentally flipped past it on PBS. It grabbed me immediately. So campy and low budget, but the most fun show I've ever watched! Melanie

August, 1982, WFSU began airing the Tom Baker serials in episodic format, 5 days a week at 6 PM. The following Saturday, the first 4 episodes, comprising "Robot," is aired as an uninterupted "movie" spanning roughly 90 minutes. I had seen promos for nearly two months, so I started reading what material Starlog had printed. Fortunately, one issue listed several seasons (or as the British say, "series") of Tom Baker segments, so I was somewhat prepared by the first airing. What other series, at least at the time, would have had the courage not just to change lead performers, but bring in someone so radically different as to be essentially, another person? Campy? Yeah, depending upon which years one remembers. I found the early Tom Bakers, especially after Harry Sullivan stayed on Earth to be quite gothic and dark. I mean, the villian in "Seeds of Doom" gets caught in his own wood chipper! No blood or gore shots, but anyone with any imagination can guess what happened next! Sigh, I certainly miss that series. So, who wants a jellybaby? ;-) Sincerely, Bill

To keep this in the Poser area, someone a couple of years ago said they were in the process of making a Cyberman for the free stuff. It never came about. I wonder who that was and whether there's the chance it might ever happen. Oh, and I loved the Eighth Doctor. I just wish the writers of that pilot had done something more in the Doctor Who vein, and not such a "here and now" Earth-based plot. I think if it had been a little more of the time travel of the series, it might have caught on. But I thought Paul McGann(sp?) did a great job (and not too bad looking either). ;) Melanie

Good point, Melanie. I seem to remember that announcement as well. Since the Cybermen from the series evolved so much, a lot of the sci-fi clothing items would work quite well. The only really critical element is the helmet. Someone would have to custom model that. The good point is that it can be imported and saved as a simple prop. No moving parts, after all. Actually, it should be two props, the helmet and a separate shoulder section. I could model something, but it certainly wouldn't be too accurate. I also agree with your opinions concerning the Fox movie. I thought McGann made a very believable Doctor. Alas, the story was somewhat, er, "wanting." Sincerely, Bill

No complaints about the actor for the eighth Doctor, just that the pilot sucked. Not only was it time-static, but basically a big chase scene. The thing that I love about Dr. Who is the mystery, the piecing together of the pieces, and the inevitable solution through reasoning (and happenstance). Not just chasing down the bad guy. Boooring... Typical Americanization - the US producers were pandering to the masses - mindnumbing fight and chase scenes with no substance. Hey, what else could you expect from Fox, the same group that eventually brought us Earth-shattering documentaries like the one claiming that we never went to the Moon? Back on topic, it'd be way too cool to see a set of Doctor characters that looked reasonably similar to the real actors. BYS

Hmm, I think that Davros should be within Michael's or possibly Victoria 3's morphing capabilities. He's need various props, such as his head and back brace and his cyber eye. His chair wouldn't be that hard if at least one of the Dalek models are constructed as a figure instead of a prop. A user could simply "hide" the upper parts of the dalekanium shell, parent a control board to the lower "bell" and then parent that combined prop to the morphed figure. Hmm, you've got my brain "clicking." Sincerely, Bill

Well you asked, dunno if this counts as looking reasonably similar but it's my attempt at the Colin Baker incarnation..... http://www.posergallery.com/scripts/showimg.plx?Image=3295.jpg&title=Doctor+in+the+Vortex+P5&artist=Learner ..and my Tardis Console, made entirely within Poser 5... http://www.posergallery.com/scripts/showimg.plx?Image=3311.jpg&title=Console+Room&artist=Learner

WOW!!! smiller1, I love that console room. I was going to try to make a console, but I never got to it. I'm not a modeler, so I don't even know if I could do it. Yours looks great! Melanie

I'm not really a modeller either, this is made entirely in Poser 5. It uses a lot of texture maps, transparancy maps and displacement maps, but the most useful tool of all was English Bob's morphing square which is available from his web site.... http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlmagic.html

thanks for the help. this hands down is the best forum ive been on. i may have messed up on my counting. i said i needed dr. #4 thats tom baker right? whats the easyest program to use to create figurer's.(if i git good ennuf ill try to build his head) at the moment ive got poser 4, lightwave 7, photoshop6, and the two ive read about the most so far anim8er and wings. is there any others that are worth gitting? thanks y'all

Someone may correct me here, but I think getting a facial likeness is the toughest thing to do. Certainly my Colin Baker needs a lot of work! I used Daz's Michael 2 which has a lot of facial morphs, but if you want to buy Michael 2 you may want to wait a while as a Michael 3 is rumoured to be due out soon. If Daz is true to their record, Michael 2 will become cheaper or you could get Michael 3 which presumably will have more morphs. Poser 5 has features to create a head, I tried to create a Peri for my Sixth Dr but couldn't get any decent results. Poser 5 does, however, have far better hair than Poser 4. You may want to start a new thread on this topic, which is pretty buried now, to get some more expert opinions. Here's a close up of my Poser 4 version of Colin Baker, I don't have a P5 version on the net yet.

You're darn tootin'! ;) The human head is a very, very complex structure - bones, cartilage, tons of muscles, skin, specialized skin, hair, teeth, tongue, eyes and ears (entire complex structures in themselves). And each person (unless they have identical syblings) has unique, distinguishing features in every one of these areas. To be capable of catching these nuances in a 3d model requires literally thousands of morphable regions, among other things. Victoria 3 is the closest that I've seen. And yes, can't wait for Michael 3 for a 'real' male with this complexity. Until there are even more complex models, the only way to catch a facial likeness with precision is to model the head yourself using as many references as possible or to go the extra light-year and add morphs and tweaks to the already available models'. Yours is pretty darn good, smiller1! BYS

(Blushes) Why thank you!

I found out there's a company that has gotten a license from the BBC to create new episodes for Dr. Who in audio format! They have Drs 5 - 8 and some of the companions as well. They release a new audio each month, rotating through the different Doctors. I couldn't resist and ordered the first CD to see if it's any good. *Crosses fingers!*

Sad fan that I am, I have them all! The first story was really a taster of what could be done. Most of the following stories are very good but there are a few duffers.... Warning:- Avoid "The Apocalypse Element" and "The Rapture". Here's my favourites for each Dr... Paul McGann :- The Chimes of Midnight (Dr Who in a Saphire & Steel style adventure). Sylvester McCoy :- The Genocide Machine (A good Dalek Adventure) Colin Baker :- He's done most of the best audio adventures. The latest ( The Pirates ) stretches the Dr Who format but I think it's great. However "The Holy Terror" is probably the best followed by "Jubilee". The new companion they created for him, Evelyn, is superb. Peter Davison :- The Church & The Crown ( The Dr meets the Musketeers in a tongue in cheek, swashbuckling adventure).
