A Doctor Who Emporium and Erstwhile Boutique of Nonsense and Ramblings about Daleks, the TARDIS and Other Stuff.

Hello! I'm Gav and I do 3D pictures and research into Doctor Who. I've done lots of features about Daleks and Cybermen for the DWFC Magazine and stuff for Doctor Who Magazine including three covers. I also do 3D sculpts for figurines which I'm rather proud of. If you want to see my most recent stuff I update my Facebook Page here. You can tell me interesting things or ask me random stuff on Twitter and I will always try to reply. The full workings of Dalek research is available online at Dalek 6388, and we're still in the process of finishing the New Series Daleks. Hopefully lots of new and exciting projects coming up in the next few months so keep an eye open!

Early 3D Modelling
Dating back to 1997 when I started playing around in 3D, here are a selection of models from - shock horror - TV Shows other than Doctor Who. I know, it's bizarre isn't it.

Eight months in the making - although mostly on 'the back burner' this was an idea I had after rendering a Dalek Supreme in a corridor. What if 'Planet of the Daleks' had been made in the 21st century for the big screen? Here is my movie trailer for this epic story featuring New Series Daleks and a space ship which isn't made from reflective cardboard.

It depends how you measure it! Tom Baker is the answer, but you could say it's Paul McGann. But then who was second? Tennant, Pertwee, McCoy and Hartnell all have a case...
