Last week I showed you a gaggle of coats I had finished. Hiding at the back was a Peter Capaldi black linen coat, as first seen in the series 10 episode Extremis. From my point of view it’s an unusual coat on so many levels from it’s choice of cloth (linen - no other Doctor costume uses this as the main fabric); to it’s cut (what can only be described as a half-frock coat); to it’s default condition (although other costumes have been broken-down, this coat is only seen in this dishevelled state). What I showed you last week was the coat in ‘pristine’ condition before being sent out for break-down. Well, it’s come back today, ready to send out, all tattered and torn! I think doing break-down is an art and more skilled than most people would give it credit for. It’s easy to do too much, or break-down where it isn’t seen. Some jobs can be more involved, but this one is an exercise in less is more! So I’d like to thank @bren.carter for his work on this, and the other hand-made bespoke tailored coats he’s wrecked for me! ————————————— DM me ASAP if you want one of these coats - I *might* have enough cloth to make one plus I have an abandoned coat in a chest 42, if you're the right size to give it a new home!! ————————————— #cosplay #screenaccurate #replica #stevenrickstailoring #tailoring

As you can imagine, I have a constant flow of commissions on the go at any one time. Some are just being started with cloth being cut; others are having early stages of assembly, such as pockets or canvassing; then there’s the garments that reach the landmark of being together enough to be put on a a mannequin; before they are lined and finishing takes place prior to dispatch. It’s not uncommon for a number of coats to be at the same stage of production at the same time, before the are each worked to a finish individually. But what is slightly unusual this week is for THREE coats to all complete their finishing stage at the same time! SO I thought I’d take the opportunity to do a line up of the Fourth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors before they go their separate ways. THE FOURTH DOCTOR’s Harris Tweed Frock Coat, originally seen in The Power Of Kroll, but forever associated with The CIty Of Death is my favourite to make out of the lineup. THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR’s Donegal Tweed is a nice classically cut jacket with a unique style of internal pocket which, once you got your mind round it’s construction, is simple and quite fun to put together. THE TWELFTH DOCTOR’s Black Linen Half-Frock Coat can be quite the challenge to put together. Despite only having two internal pockets, the pleating and finishing of the back is time consuming, making it the hardest to make out of the lineup. —————————————— DM me if you wish to commission one of these coats, or any other you’ve seen on my feed. —————————————— #cosplay #stevenricks #screenaccurate #replica #stevenrickstailoring

This is a model that I completed recently of the Altered Brachacki Tardis based on its 1966 appearance in “The Power of The Daleks”. • This is one of my all time favourite boxes, and I’ve done my best to replicate it as faithfully as possible. I usually 3D print my Tardis models, but I made this one by hand using sheets of styrene plastic, which allowed me to construct the box in the same way as the original. This means that every piece of plastic represents the piece of wood used on the full size box, and the construction methods are the same! I’ve always wanted to do this on a Tardis model, and this box has a lot of tells which give away its construction so it seemed like the best box to replicate in this way (you can see this most on the top profile of the corner posts). I particularly like the little details such as the castor wheels on the bottom and the handles on the rear of the prop, they all help to sell the scale of this box. • Im absolutely over the moon with how this model turned out, it was a time consuming object to construct but I think the effort was worth it. • #doctorwho #drwho #tardis #seconddoctor #patricktroughton #modelmaking #scalemodel #model #1960s #dalek #tardismodel

The Fourteenth Doctors Sonic Screwdriver - Comic version. • This was a recent commission from @thetimelessnerd, who wanted me to modify one of the Thirteenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver toys to represent the Fourteenth Doctors Sonic Screwdriver as it appears in a number of comic strips. This involved switching out the yellow LEDs for some new blue ones. The toy still retains the sound effects and different lighting effects, which make it quite a bit of fun. I did give it a subtle repaint to better represent the way is appears in the comics, and also to make it feel slightly more metallic. I look forward to seeing this piece alongside his work in progress Fourteenth Doctors cosplay! • Commissions are now open again on a case by case basis (dependant on how much time I have available), so do get in touch if you need anything made! • #doctorwho #drwho #sonicscrewdriver #prop #propreplica #propmaker #fourteenthdoctor #davidtennant #fourteenthdoctorsonicscrewdriver
