It needs to be done.... 



I hope the new Who writers bring some consistency.

Hats off to your hopefulneess Lemiken!

IMHO once the scripts, be they new or old, are duly vetted and amended by the BBC's legal departments, ethics committees, bureaus of political correctness, marketing strategists and uncle Tom Cobley and all.... we're left with much of a muchness. I imagine creativity and integrity are no longer required to write for the BBC (Isn't their
new logo "Nation shall peddle lucrative tat unto Nation").

I just found out yesterday that the TARDIS on my coworker's desk is actually a coffee cup (with a cover).     He knows much more about the history than I do - but was happy I at least new what it was.

Maybe it was a real TARDIS phraught, with a fully working chameleon circuit ...So far we've seen a horsebox / pillar / clock / fireplace / a furnished room / a plant.... etc. , so why not a coffee cup?

This one's down to you again, your comment on the Brasso pic about the flowers....Instead of answering you I thought I'd revisit the notion again (very rude of me), discovered that I had to make the roses/leaves very, very low poly count....So this was just another h'experiment - about 3 minutes work to make the wreath (after I'd reduced the polys by 95%)

Too funny...

In our discussion, he mentioned the current Doctor, who (sorry) I haven't seen yet, but I had seen the previous 3 - at least some.  He mentioned the original Doctor and I said I'd only seen the first 5-10 minutes of the first episode.  I said something like "Odd...  still a police box...".   Then he told me a about how at one point the chameleon circuit was repaired...   for a while.

Three minutes - amazing - and I was proud that in only took me an hour to set up six mangled spheres to be a passable happy face (and another hour to animate it).f



If you could get paid by the hour for your h'experiments, you'd be the richest researcher of righteous renown!

You have to blame POSer!!!! Never liked the cute "trackballs" / "head" showing you the direction, etc. Pure "Wow" effect and little else.
As I told radaVid, the top hat was:
Hat > circle spline > extrude "Y" > Fillet cap > Taper top (-)
Brim > circle spline > sweep with rectangle > Fillet cap > bend
Band > select loop > extrude (4mm)
I even cut a hole into it for the eye stalk > Boole A-B (Hat/Cylinder) 

However, there is a terrible price to pay: With so much potential, I invariably end up doing nothing!

Lovely. It's a pity, I like Capaldi but change must happen. I think it's time and now that Moffat has tidied up all the loose ends that Davies left scattered we can start afresh with new adventures in time and space.

I'm not sure your most Supremenessship, Moffat's self indulgence made a complete pig's ear of Sherlock and have you noticed that there are no "baddie monsters" anymore (save your good selves) just "misunderstood objectives"  ... It's becoming a bit of a Moffat cliché, bring back the Brigadier with mortars and machine guns killing hordes of filthy aliens!!!

Well I have to agree to disagree. However I am glad he is stepping aside, new blood has always done wonders for Dr Who. Except for John Nathan-Turner, who should have stepped down half way through Davidson, except the thought he had a job for life.

The Top Hat was made with 2 circles and less that a dozen clicks  

The current Doctor Who (12th) is due to die very shortly, as I just said to Blades-123 "How many more should I expect to see?", the programme started the day after JFK was shot in '63 (I was 2),  so each of the previous Doctors represents a chapter in my life.

As Donne said "If a Doctor be washed away by the Bee Bee Sea..."

We can almost measure our lives in Doctors, can't we?  I really enjoyed the 4th/5th/6th Doctors but I was far too "busy" to watch Dr Who!
