Not sure what section this should have gone in considering the chap who made this isn't really just a fan but somebody who worked with me when we were both on Dr Who in the 1980's. These days he's a senior portrait sculptor for Madam Tussuads in London.

It's a small wall plaque/bust of Tom Baker that he made a good few years ago when he was thinking of making then to sell as a limited run, but got involved in other things and he never went any further with them. It's a bit on the grubby side as It's been housed in my garden for quite some time now.

I think that is the best portrail of Tom Baker (or of any Doctor for that matter) that I have seen so far..., pity your friend didn't make more, I would've certainly liked to have gotten one for my collection!!!

Agreed, it's far superior to much of the commercially available stuff.

Very Fang Rockish.

Thanks for that. Heres a few more examples of his work craeted well over 20 years ago now and are really starting to show their age.

Well I can certainly see why he's a senior portrait sculptor for Madam Tussuads..., excellent detailing in all of his work shown here, definately a pity he didn't get to make more of these, they are very good!!!
