Close Encounters Of The Sixth Kind

My primary goal is to finish the Ultimate Six Frock Coat in time for Gallifrey One in mid-Februry.

I cannot possibly miss this deadline, so to get the coat ready for Project Motor Mouth in late January is a helpful false deadline to kick me into gear.
With the cold weather and a bought of flu, it was right down to the last couple of days before that I finally got it finished to a level worth showing off - and it goes without saying the ONE person I wanted to show it off to was Colin Baker, who happens to be attending Project Motor Mouth.

It was a shade disappointing to find out that he was not able to arrive until mid afternoon since he had a rehearsal for The Woman In White, a stage production he is starting soon. He therefore missed the Doctor’s photocall and the discussion panel, as well as the main signing sessions in the hall. However, it became clear he had arrived as planned and an additional queue was forming leading out of the room towards where Colin was held up in a side suite.

Word came down the line that only ONE autograph was allowed and NO photos were permitted with Colin. Hum. We’ll see about that.

Here’s my picture I got with Colin - read on about how I managed to get it!

Ultimate Six Frock Coat -
Project Motor Mouth debut

As you’ve read, I braved the Arctic conditions and battled flu, but got myself along to Project Motor Mouth this weekend.

The event was the perfect opportunity to wear my Ultimate Six Frock Coat for the very first time, and here are a selection of photos of me with other cosplayers at the convention.

Annoyingly my boots were ready for me to collect, but I couldn’t get them due to the snow that fell this week.

Still, I got to show off my season 22 waistcoat - something I’ve been keeping very quiet until now.
