I went to Colours 2025 at the Newbury Racecourse and there were a fair few traders there. I passed the Great Escape Games stand and a boxed set stood out for me, The Professor and Time Machine.
Great Scott…
Yes this wasn’t any old professor (and any old time machine). Though with those names you might expect to see the Doctor and the TARDIS. However this was the old west, so this professor and old time machine was a facsimile of Doc Brown and a covered DeLorean.
In the box you get a metal Doc Brown figure and a resin casting of the DeLorean covered with a tarpaulin. You also get a card and two scenarios for Dead Man’s Hand.
After cleaning the castings, and washing the resin model, I also based the professor on a coin and added some Citadel Sand to the base. I gave both models a white undercoat.
The DeLorean bode shell is made from stainless steel, so I decided I would use a Citadel Leadbelcher spray. As I happens, I am not sure what had gone wrong with the spray, but it certainly wasn’t working as normal.
I wasn’t happy with the result of the spraying of the basecoat. Still thinking about the next step with this model.
I do have some reference photographs of a DeLorean to work with (not the film car, but a nice copy).
