Here are the final pieces along with the finished clear bases for the Doctor Who project.
The Doctor has always been a fashionable fellow, if a bit eccentric and odd about it.. which to my mind increases rather than diminishes this characteristic. But given that I grew up on the 4th Doctor, with his great big goofy scarf, which is also a useful tool second only to his screwdriver, I do find it a bit odd that the latest Doctors traded that scarf in for ties. Even if the 11th's claim that 'bow ties are cool' is correct, which strikes me more as opinion than fact, the 10th's preference for neck ties seems odd to me when I think about it.
The only piece of fashion more ridiculous and life-threatening than the neck-tie is the high heeled shoe.
It's as if someone said "you know what would set off this suit nicely? A noose around my neck!"
Throwing yourself into dangerous situations, when people and things mean you harm, there are often big machines with whirling parts and toothy gears, a neck-tie seems like a fashion statement that's out to get you killed and one would think, even one who could reincarnate, that it's just not worth the risk.
But if he insists on ties, let's check them out...

The Doctor's outfit is inspired by the picture below. In this outfit he does wear red converse, so again i have to wonder, if he's willing to opt for comfort with his shoes.. why the tie? Obviously, as a person who never wears ties I'm struggling with the concept. Moving on...
Again showing a taste for cool suits and comfy old sneakers, this time he has his dirty old white ones.
The striped suit was fun to paint.
Same Amy, Doctor having changed his body almost as often as his suits, now looking a bit different.
He needed to turn around to better see his jacket pattern.
The bases are an interesting option. Selecting clear disks so that the terrain environment can be seen through them, so you don't drag around a patch of dirt on a space ship, or a slice of city street in a forest.
All for now, but might be more in the future..
Oh if only someone made some really nice Silurian soldiers in their current look:
Yeah, I'd be buying those.
