JHoagland, concerning other "Whovian" related items and charcters, you do have a very good point. I had taken an informal survey to find out which of the various TARDIS consoles they'd like to have available as Poser props. The majority voted for something akin to the consoles used from the beginning ("Unearthly Child") through the serial just before "The 5 Doctors". A couple of replies suggested the stained wood writing pedestal and one wanted the Fox movie version. Anyway, I started to model one and got so far as detailing 2 of the 5 panels with buttons and knobs before my real life voaction ran me ragged. I will get back to it and make it available as a prop for all. A Sontaran? Hmm, I could see that done with the "Freak". The trick would be to use magnets and stretch the lower portions of his haed and jaw wider and then hid the chin with a helmet ring. One could debate the number of fingers, but I think Styre from Baker's third story had 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand. A Cyberman? Model a prop helmet and and other accessaries and parent them to the figure of your choice. A custom figure would be, of course, more authentic, but look at the various super-heroes based upon standard Poser figures at Animotions. Quite servicable. Anybody have some good plan drawings of cyber-helmets (whatever era)? Sincerely, Bill
Tempt the Hand of Fate and it'll give you the "finger"!
