New Earth and The Ark in Space

"It was nice to bring Cassandra back. We were down on the Gower for the exterior stuff. I worked on The Intensive Care Unit, the bay of pods with the zombies in. It was red originally and it became green, like a Borg ship. The Doctor had to open one of the pods with his sonic. I included a nod to a scene in The Ark in Space when the Doctor used the sonic screwdriver to unscrew a bolt on the floor. When the Doctor opened the pod, I included a disc that resembled the screw in The Ark in Space that would turn with the sonic. That was a real fanboy indulgence! Mark Cordory built the door mechanism. Mark was a big fan too. He’s a really good friend actually. I haven’t seen him for years but I thoroughly enjoyed working with him on the various hand props used in the episodes. Like me he was involved from day one."

-- concept artist Matthew Savage on his work for New Earth, in an interview with WhoFX

It's no War Rhino, but this is probably the single most impressive thing to show up at Mythlore 3, and in many ways a much more involved build job. It's fully 7'2" tall (the pilot here is 6'1", and is seeing out through the grill in the neck), and fully articulate - the awkward movement being entirely down to excellent roleplay by Jordan, who was inside.

As you can imagine, this caused some consternation amongst the character party.

Comes with lots of charming little details, such as a removable gem embedded in its forehead.

The unveiling was delightful, too, as it came striding over a sand dune, so the full height wasn't immediately apparent - and it had been kept secret from the playerbase.

One of the "spare" arms showed up in-game, with exposed gearing, and a key that could be used to cause the insides to twitch. Characters were literally bouncing up and down in joy, and hugging each other in glee, when they got it moving, and started working out how they might find a weakness in the main course.

This is a labour of love from Mark Cordory, who's been doing this sort of thing professionally since the days of Knightmare - and it shows. http://www.markcordory.com/Site/Welcome.html

The costume left the event headed for a permanent home with another system, so you might see it on a battlefield near you, soon.
