Sure annoys me when I discover a picture I recognize from this site that to me is being used, such as your upload, without permission.
I've noticed some of my own Red Dwarf uploads appear on other sites. I wouldn't mind, but I'd prefer to be asked rather then have the wool pulled over my eyes . . . . Smeg Heads

My collection now is much better, if they'd asked I'd have given them a better picture.
One of my Red Dwarf models is on Tongue-Tied Wiki - listed as an early prototype for a merchandise line?!?
Someone has used my Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy design for stickers or something that they sell.
A Doctor Who iPhone game uses art based on my prop models and I know they have because the glaring inaccuracies of my early stuff have been recreated in their versions, they deny it but it's blatant, one of mine looks barely like the original and there's is identical to mine.. I can spot people who've used my Amy Pond sonic probe for similar reasons but I haven't a problem with fans doing that for their own model/art, in fact I feel bad for not doing a better one for them to copy lol.
Can't do anything about it, I have no copyright claim to any of it but it would be nice to be asked.

be gentle, it's pewter and that stuff is very soft (and next to impossible to to fill the dents back in as the stuff melts at 170), it's incredibly hard to find anybody that sells the good replicas now. plus it's the best key ain't it?

Seeing as you don't live in the UK, as I can see from your page your Australian, I would have told you that you can buy the Tardis Key replica at Forbidden Planet for £13.49, but since Ive never been to Australia, Ive no idea where your likely to get it there, if anywhere there.

that's actually where I got it from, and if you notice on the web page they are out of stock (and have been for a while) the company that make them are doing something derpy at the moment so idk

it's alays worth a look,search:
Doctor who props
Dr Who props
Doctor Who replicas
Dr who Replicas
TARDIS key
Each brings up different things (and quite a few of the same things) or also try Doctor Who customs, you can find some real gems. Or for yale keys just search for yale keys lol.

Oh my goodness! Where did you get these? They're amazing!

Some are available on eBay, a few are not available in the UK.
For the Pertwee and McCoy keys you want Mooncrest Models, they went so mad with accuracy they even included all the original imperfections which were visible on the prop.
Yale keys are yale keys, you can pick them up all over the place, although, as I say in the description, finding ones with two shoulders can be a pain.
Top row, second from right, I made myself using super firm sculpy, and is based on my own observations as no pictures of the original prop seem to exist appart from fuzzy screen grabs.
Hope that helps.
