LEGO Rivendell in front of a window.


B. bought me the LEGO Rivendell set as an early birthday present* last year and I have been slowly building it ever since. I could probably have built it in a weekend, but I've been rationing myself - at weekends I got to add a few bricks every time I finished a task or chore. Anyway, the basic build is done, though my sister gave me a lighting kit for it for Christmas and I've still to install that.

purplecat: Bill from Doctor Who against a blue background. (Who:Bill)

Bill paper doll with her startled face and her black and white quartered T-shirt with a face on it. Bill paper doll with her smiling face and her black and white quartered T-shirt with a face on it and a denim jacket over the top.


This was a good final outfit for the Paper Doll book. It fits properly over the doll and reuses parts of the underlying doll which is what a proper paper doll outfit should do!

That's it for Doctor Who Paper Dolls. I've had a lot of fun with it, despite the complaints, I wish they'd do more. I even wish this team would do more because I like the art, I just would like them to be a bit more familiar with the logistics of paper dolls.

No idea what I'll post on Tuesdays now... [personal profile] conuly has suggested a cookbook challenge for next year, but there's no way I'm going to manage to try out a new recipe every week (though, the sharp eyed among you will notice that I'm far from a regular weekly poster anyway so I suppose it could work).

Paper Doll of Bill Potts in her yellow puffer jacket and rolled up jeans.
I think the smiling face here works better than the startled face on the underlying doll!
purplecat: Missy from Doctor Who. (Who:Missy)

Paper doll of Missy in purple, holding her eliminator device and winking.
I feel this is a slight cheat, since it's really the same outfit as last in the last post. On the other hand having a jacket you can add is a much more traditional paper doll kind of thing.
purplecat: Drawing of the Seventh Doctor (Who:Seven)

Paper doll of Osgood in the Seventh Doctor Jumper
Osgood has no fake heads. I mean, I thoroughly approve of this, but why only Osgood?
purplecat: The First Romana from Doctor Who. (Who:Romana 1)

Paper Doll of Petronella Osgood in a jumper and blue trousers.
I have nothing against Osgood but we could have had a Romana I paper doll or, if it had to be new series, Captain Jack.
purplecat: Clara from Doctor Who. (Who:Clara)

Clara paper doll in a Victorian Outfit but without an extra head. Clara paper doll in the outfit she wore in Face the Raven.


You get two photos this week because I quite like the Clara Doll in the Victorian outfit but without the Victorian head so thought I would document its existence.

Clara!

Clara in her waitress outfit from her final episode.

I'm not sure this is the outfit I would have chosen to be the "small" one that fits under the other outfits. Clara had a nice line in cute tartan miniskirts and dresses which I would have thought would be more representative.
purplecat: Hand Drawn picture of a Toy Cat (Who:River)

Paper doll of River song in long overcoat and hat.

Not the third outfit I'd have picked for River, but at least it mostly covers the outfit underneath!

Paper doll of River Song in her white jacket outfit from the Pandorica Opens

Hmm... while many of the visible bits of the doll underneath here are due to the cutting off of white outline, not all of it is.

I'm hugely torn between how much I like these dolls and how much it annoys me that the designers clearly knew nothing about paper dolls.
