what if... Ruth!Doctor and Dhawan!Master got a chance to hang out

partly an illustration for recent chapter of my current fic “double agents” (link in replies) because... yes we could imagine a lot of unhappy interactions, but if they were getting along, the banter between the two of them could be pretty fun

height difference (exaggerated by camera angle) and the doctor’s shoes because i was happy to find those

i decided my first dhawan!m doll would be the one to hang out with ruth!doctor because their head sizes are a better match. the second one i made fits more with my 13th doctor. #dollproblems huh?! anyway this one looks pretty excited to be here :D 

i’ve reduced this dh!m’s height by about an inch, through shortening the bottoms of his ankles and the torso right above the waist, areas where the ken mtm body is unrealistically tall. i also added some belly while i was at it :) since i had to stick the torso back together with heatmould plastic

was super excited of course to see ruth!doctor, especially because of how similar she seems to Ian’s (@trans-kaidan-alenko​) OC dr who that i remembered from several years ago. so of course she had to become a doll as soon as i could figure out which face to use...

it was hard to choose a head for ruth!doctor because, honestly, available dolls and action figures of her demographic are kind of lacking (we know why)... but i finally settled on the darkest skintone curvy mtm that has recently become available as one of the BMR1959 dolls. i was afraid to do much overpainting because the factory paint was very nice, so i just did a very minimal addition of lines on her face because the actress is like 60 and though she doesn’t in any way look like the 2nd oldest dr who ever, she does look middle-aged.

the doll’s original hair was very nice so i cut it off carefully and saved it for someone who does re-rooting (is that you? message me!) and then i rehaired her with homespun yarn to imitate locs. i hope the hair will hold, but if not i can just redo it the same way. basically i used a rerooting tool to push parts of each strand into the existing rooting holes. if it comes out i can just poke it down again in a different hole. it is only one layer because the strands were so thick. since the character wore her locs up in a ponytail, that seemed to be okay. 

her suit jacket and scarf are for action figures and her pants are from ken. i used a barbie crop top to make the little bits of her blouse that show.  i think her brainy specs are from integrity... i used acetone to take off some sunglasses shading that was on the plastic, but it made it not clear anymore, that’s why they’re not on her face. they are coloured yellow with a highlighter :D because it was handy and it’s not like she’s gonna wear them out in the rain or something... i might try gloss sealer later to see if it makes the plastic clear again

the tardis background used is the one from the 1st doctor

doll hobby chatter and bonus close-ups under the cut >>>

smallerverse is almost 1:6 scale but not quite. so it’s like… 1:7ish

i started with the heads off of Titans minifigs and mattel 1:6 scale child bodies… did some light facial improvements:

3rd doctor: actually kinda proud of this face. the original sculpt and eyes looked so mean and unhappy whereas pertwee should look equal parts tired and mischievous. maybe i should make the irises bigger? not sure.

wearing most of ron’s yule ball outfit as well as the body it came on, and she-ra’s cape

Jo Grant: not great as a likeness, but... considering the head was some other character entirely I think she looks ok :D (the original figure was some girl with a russian name, from Archer? idk) ALSO i used an obitsu 24cm body for her.  oh and her hair is sculpted with heatmould plastic

wearing a blythe jumper off etsy and a barbie skirt folded shorter

delgado!m: honestly the Titans figure sculpt was perfect, i just had to bring out the lines with paint used a CW body (asian kid?) for him and some leftover pure neemo hands that i had to mod to fit on his existing wrist pegs. might give him gloved hands later, for authenticity, though

wearing CW top … and harry potter trousers, i think?
