All I've really done so far is tea dye it a tad darker, and fix the cuffs a bit.

TimeGate is the Doctor Who (and more!) convention that takes place in Atlanta, Ga, USA, from May 25 to May 27, 2012. Our Doctor Who Guest of Honor is Caitlin Blackwood, who plays Amelia Pond. Much more info can be found at the website: http://timegatecon.org/ including the Schedule of Events, One-Day-Only Ticket Pricing, and Hotel Info.

Under the cut is a listing of panels for the new Costuming Track. Many of these are oriented towards the Doctor Who 'verse.

Please note the Doctor Who Props panel!

As the Director of the Costuming Track, I look forward to seeing wonderful cosplays and great costumes at TimeGate. :)

Hello... I am new here :3

So I made this one TARDIS and realised it was a little fat/disproportional. So I made another and managed to slice my finger with my xacto knife! (It's nearly healed...) I haven't put the door handles on yet. I will get around to that eventually.

I bought some LED thingies and dismantled them and then realised I broke part of the circuit board so I need to rewire it all. Does anyone have any better suggestions for electrical aspects of model TARDISes?

Four days of work (:

Materials: foam board, cardboard ('cause I'm cheap and don't need balsa, ha.), wood filler ♥, random temporal bits.

I posted last month about a Doctor Who cake for my brother- Well here it is!

I REALLLLLLY want to make myself a DW bracelet but I need to find some red bow tie buttons and my google-fu is failing me big-time.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

I am delighted to have found this community. I only recently started watching Doctor Who, but my friend is obsessed so I made her this Dalek cross stitch. It was the first one I had done in over 20 years, since I was a kid, so I messed up in a few places, and didn't follow the pattern quite as it was written since I can't figure out french knots for the life of me. But I think it turned out pretty well, and I found this frame in a closet that seemed to be a great fit.

The pattern is from http://www.etsy.com/listing/75544069/dalek-tea-time-doctor-who-inspired-pdf I also bought her cyberman pattern (my favs!), I'll post that when I eventually get it done.

It needs a lot of work! I had it taken in a bit around the arms last week, so it looks a tad different than the picture. I'm going to dye it a bit darker, and add blue to the inside, and I need to cut a slit in the back. It's not an exact replica, I'm not that fancy. But I think it does the job. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get one of those expensive replica coats. 

Hi!
I haven't posted anything here for some while although I still go on with crochet DW amigurumis.
Anyway few days ago I've finished Third Doctor and it has turned out so great I had to share it with you :). (do I need to write it's again according to general Luna1130's pattern?)

Also if you're interested you can go to my crafty LJ here: http://ilwinshands.livejournal.com/6592.html and look at my set of nine amigurumis I've made in last three months - it's the nine characters from scene in Journey's End when they fly planet Earth back home (I love that scene).

Hello all - I thought I'd stop in and give another update on the progress in my "A Dalek Year" project now that I have hit and passed day 100.
Things are going relatively smooth - having figured out the hemi conundrum (what to use, how to make the gasket, how to mount). The next month is basically finishing up the skirt and then moving on to the shoulders.
Here's a pic of the latest hemi mounting test. I only have to build 52 more hemis. sigh.

PS - I love seeing everything that people post on here - the creativity spreads to me and help when I get stuck. Allons-y!

Today my friend and I spontaneously went to a Free Hugs event, and in a hurry I managed to invent a DoctorWho-related poster and my friend managed to dress up as a possible alternative version of 11th Doctor Who.


There are only few Doctor Who fans in Minsk City, Belarus, so we didn't even hope that somebody will catch the idea. Still there were some people who were just crazy happy about us:


Also, it was a LOT of fun to hear people saying, "BOWTIES ARE COOL" even if they are totally unaware of Doctor Who stuff. Just because bowties are cool, heh. :)
