Thank you both, this is my first time of making something, and certainly my first time posting something on the web (that wasnt Facebook)!!

I really appreciate your comments :) BTW its only about 12" tall, as its standing on my garden table, its an allusion (unintended) of being a statue!!

I have a steampunk dalek underway at the mo, so looking forward to posting that soon

not many people will know what this is coz they dont show Dr Who in the US

Sci_Fi_Steve (author) in reply to rorpenJan 6, 2011. 3:28 AM

Hi Rorpen,

Nice to meet you :)

My understanding is that Dr Who has a massive following in America, and is on BBC America

alove2 in reply to Sci_Fi_SteveSep 11, 2011. 9:02 AM

Dr. Who isnt as popular in America, but we do watch it... and LOVE it! Nice angel! :D

I'm an American whovinian! Great instructable... Absolutely awesome! If ou had the time could you give me any suggestions for making the arms poseable?

platypus7 says: Jan 7, 2011. 5:16 PM

That which holds the image of an Angel, becomes its self an Angel.

TheAwesomePossum in reply to platypus7Jun 29, 2011. 7:03 PM

Thats exactly what I was thinking!

Of all the Dr. Who monsters, these fellows really gave me the spooks. I mean outside, then "Who's watching it" Then they turn around and BAM D8 I literally jumped 5 metres in the air XD

Except afterwards they always show you the making of and the girls who acted as them were dancing and singing I was like "Well just ruin the whole effect won't you?"

Nevertheless, I might make this! ^^ Thanks!

Sci_Fi_Steve (author) in reply to Jay SpannerzJan 6, 2011. 4:43 PM

Really excited to hear this. This was my first attempt at pretty much anything. All you guys have been so encouraging and I'm now looking forward to doing more. Please do give it a go, I would love to see it.

Thanks

Steve

Jay Spannerz in reply to Sci_Fi_SteveJan 7, 2011. 12:47 AM

I think I shall give this a go :D
But maybe a bit closer to Halloween... if I made it now it would collapse (too wet a climate ATM) but I might make it life-size >=]

I want to attach the arms to servo motors and use Arduino to detect blinks, so that when someone blinked the arms would move.

jessandstavro says: Jan 6, 2011. 9:42 PM

Awesome. You probably wouldn't want it much bigger than 12" or you'd be too nervous spending time out in your yard!

dedwards_1997 says: Jan 6, 2011. 12:35 PM

Just as a precaution all my garden statues face each other. JUST IN CASE!!!!!!!

sassy8girl in reply to BiggsyJan 6, 2011. 11:09 AM
