| The idea for these photos came from the simple fact that although I finished a Third Doctor outfit back in 2004, I still don't have a Third Doctor headsculpt. Luckily Jon Pertwee's Doctor liked gadgets, so I could hide the action figure's face with the excuse of "Oh, he's fixing the car."
Bessie was an awesome flea market find by Jonathan Sheen. For those of you who want to track down one of your own, it's a "Flying Dutchman antique car" from Remco. It's battery operated, and came out in the 1960s. The box for this car says "style 611." There have been a few listed on eBay in the past, so you can get an idea of price ranges. (Thanks to David Eden for his research.) Even more thanks to Jonathan, who snagged one for me, and received a 1:6 Doctor Who outfit from me in return. |
 
| The frog closures on the jacket really button and unbutton, as you can see in the first and second pictures. (You can find free patterns for frog closures online by typing "frog closure" or something similar into Google or another search engine.) I sewed black elastic cord into the frog closure pattern. I made the button portion of the closures from 1/4 inch bits of toothpick painted black. I tied black thread around them, then sewed them to the elastic cord. |
| The bead "buttons" on the shirt are sewn on so the "buttoned" ones are on the right and the "unbuttoned" ones are on the left. There are ruffles on the shirt cuffs, and along the shirt front. |
