Fish fingers and custard

Well the weather outside isn't exactly frightful, but it's probably about to bugger up my whole week. Meaning I get to substitute the refined company of adults for an endless cycle of teen anime, snowball fights and me shouting myself hoarse with my new catchphrase "Just how many hours have you been on Minecraft, exactly?".

But speaking of Doctor Who...

(ok, worst segway evaaar)

My very "Doctor Who filled" trip to the UK this Christmas was topped off very nicely when I returned to find a gift from Lego chum Micah Berkoff sitting in my mailbox ...a Lego weeping angel, no less! The only appropriate response was to build the angel some prey...



This one was a bit of a challenge since Micah built his angel to strict Miniland scale, so I couldn't cheat and work to Miniland+ scale. But I managed to just about pull off the 11th Doctor and his companion Amy Pond (in kissogram police woman costume, no less). Given more time I might have housed them in a Cyber Forest diorama. And given more dark blue I might have even built more than this sham of a TARDIS. Apologies for that.

So for no particular reason, I'm declaring this DOCTOR WHO WEEK on The Living Brick. I've even renamed the blog accordingly (look up, but remember not to blink!). I'll be featuring a bit of a trip report that may be of interest to Lego and Who fans alike. Plus I'll be doing a retrospective of the greatest Who-themed fan Lego creations.

JERONIMO!
