Wants List
This page lists some of types of items I might buy or trade for (since I'm a seamstress, not a sculptor, painter, etc.) I no longer take commissions (paid or trade) for items outside of my areas of interest (Doctor Who and certain historical eras). Sometimes I trade for high-quality custom pieces. I rarely trade for mass-produced commercially-available items, unless they're rare, expensive, or difficult-to-find items.
Wanted: Photoshop or other computer help
To recreate fabrics in 1:6 scale for Doctor Who custom outfits. Contact me for images, details.Wanted: Doctor Who Merchandise
| Very high priority: Blue-suited 10th Doctor, from the "Evolution of the Daleks" 3-pack. I really want this 10th Doctor figure, but I haven't been able to find one for sale so far. (I'm in the U.S., and didn't learn about this 3-pack until it was no longer in stores. Phooey.) |
| Dismantled/battle-damaged Cyberman parts - wires dangling out, scorch marks, exposed skulls, and otherwise looking like they got on the wrong side of a Dalek or the Doctor. Can be created from recasts. |
Wanted: Doctor Who Head Sculpts in 1:6 Scale
High priority| Sarah Jane Smith | Harry Sullivan | Master (Delgado version) | Romana II | First Doctor (William Hartnell) |

Wanted: Doctor Who Head Sculpts in 1:6 Scale

You can find lots of great images of the Doctor, his companions, villains, etc., at the Doctor Who Image Archive.
Wanted: Sculpts of Doctor Who Monsters, Aliens, & Accessories in 1:6 Scale
These have become a very low priority for me since I started collecting some of the 5-inch Character Options toys. The ones I'm still sort of interested in are listed below:| TARDIS console | K-9 | Cybermen (Tomb and/or Invasion) | Draconians | Sontarans |
Wanted: Head Sculpts
| James Nesbitt (Jekyll) |
| David Warner |
| Ian McShane (Kings) |
| Philip Glenister (Life on Mars, Gene Hunt) |
| Sean Connery (Hunt for Red October and/or Highlander) |
| Molly Quinn (Castle) |
| Brian Cox |
Wanted: Action Figures and/or Head Sculpts
Nude figures or loose figures or even just the heads are fine. I don't need the outfits or accessories. I just like the head sculpts on these figures, or else I can use these head sculpts pretty much as-is or that could be modified easily (since I can't paint or sculpt very well).
| Mattel's Audrey Hepburn doll: Possible head donor for a Susan Foreman figure. High priority. |
| Black Tie Affair - Israeli Candi or other dark-haired Candi doll using the Israeli head mold: Possible head donor for a Barbara Wright figure. High priority. |
| Omega African American Body. High priority. | Omega Caucasian Body. High priority. |
| DML Sgt. Jones - An excellent Sean Connery look-alike. High priority. | Action Figure bodies: Dragon, Triad, TTL, Hot Toys, BBI, Sideshow, etc. Very low priority, since I can buy bodies from commercial sites. |
Wanted: Custom Steampunk
 | Custom Weapons (ray guns), equipment (jet packs, goggles, etc.), and other goodies with a Steampunk look and feel to them. There have been some awesome steampunk projects on the One Sixth Warrior forum, including this fantstic ray gun by Corset Kitten. |
Wanted: Custom Elves
 | Custom Head Sculpts, Weapons and Armor with an organic "woodland" look and feel to them (like this sword made by DeltaStorm on the FantasyNet Forum).
I already have a Legolas head. It still needs hair applied. |
Wanted: Books - Historical Fashion Reference Books
Used copies with normal wear are just fine - not falling apart, missing pages, etc.! For trade purposes, I'll count these books as being worth the price Amazon.com lists plus shipping costs. These are the sorts of books I have to buy to get the historical patterns I use to sew outfits. It's quite expensive to build a reference library. I can't list every book I don't own, so feel free to ask about books that aren't on this list.
