Dr who mods

[Mooseman]

Dr Who has some really crappy switch covers on the ramps so I was looking for something a bit better but also within the era of the machine. I found a davros push along toy and dremelled it to go on the left ramp. The right ramp cover is an old broken k9 remote control toy again with the guts removed. I added a red led to the eye but have not wired it in yet. The tardis is an idea from a guy in the usa. Its a usb tardis that ive taken apart modified and fitted. Its a perfect size and is far more detailed than the original.

Ingenious. Love it

How about some flashing LED's in that K9's visor....

Some great looking mods there Mooseman

 

[Calimori]

Those are great mods and are in keeping with the theme and colours.

I also painted the cab like martin did and powder coated the legs.
still awaiting my mate and his airbrush to finish off the WHO with some red gradient.

[Mooseman]

What did you use to repaint the cab? Mask it off and then airbrush or rattle cans?

Had some photos sent, and asked them to bootup as it had been lying for years. They did, after much coaxing.. and hey-presto.. it worked and realistically doubled the value I offered. Lesson to be learnt there somewhere.... but they don't call me honest John for nothing. Well done, you have certainly polished some extra coin into it....

Glass paint and frog tape. I tried doing the spraying myself using a spray can but it was too erratic, then i did too much and it looked pants. My mate is a good airbrusher and should do it no problems. Id have a go myself if i had an airbrush. My good friend wizcat gave me some frisket to mask the who letter.
the pic is my failed attemt that i simply wiped off and started again.

Looks a good finish to say you used glass paint, do you see many brush marks in the larger areas. Was thinking of using my glass paint of BSD but wondered how it would look on a big bit.

 

[Mooseman]

I found it best not to paint rather to spread the puddle about. I put very little on the brush and just expanded the area. I bought 2 colours in the same range and make yet found out the yellow was water based and the red was not. The yellow leached under frog tape the red didnt if you removed it straight away. I learnt to paint the yellow on first and didnt bother with tape as you could overpaint the yellow with the red where i did use frog tape for a straight edge. Frog tape is a green masking tape with anti paint repellant on it.. Its not the dogz b's that they make it out to be as the paint it repells is emulsion. It did work ish with glass paint but you needed to remove it straight away.

Anyone lay claim to now owning my old dr who. Just wondering we’re it’s at reading these old threads

 

[swinks]

I did the Whomobile Mod to replace the vague looking whomobiles a number of years ago now, still have a DIY manual under Kit Builds here:

swinks.com.au

I also was asked to recreate the MPF bracket that is often distorted and once distorted the sensors don't work, has built stiffeners and light baffles which make it very stable.

These are my replacements for the original whomobile stickers.

 

[carl lawrence]

Just bought one of those usd tardis ,so hopefully it’s the correct one when it arrives !

 

[Devorian]

This is what I'm currently working on. Still needs tweaking but nearly there.

The pinsound packs are fun @Devorian - takes a long time to perfect them. I did one for MM that put in the Holy Grail Monty Python voices and soundtrack.

Considering Dr Whos worldwide market - I am surprised it has not been given another outing in a pinball machine.

I created mine out of necessity, seeing as I don't like any of the alternatives. All that anyone has done previously is change the background music and they couldn't even get that right. Nobody has bothered to change the voices or sound effects. I think I'm getting fairly close to 500 samples now, all stereo and normalised. Not to mention all keeping within that classic who era 1963 - 1989
