Doctor Who Crafts - Felt 1964 Dalek Plush

I started on this felt plush a few months back when I was obsessed with making them, but really only finished yesterday because I got lazy and wasn't bothered to attach the last few dots. It is, to the best of my ability, modeled after the 1964 Dalek as seen in The Dead Planet (also shown in the photos).

I took them outside today for an autumn photoshoot:

In all honesty, it looks completely derpy compared to the actual Dalek figure. It has a giant head, and wibbly-wobbly appendages. For a first try, however, I am quite happy with how it turned out.

I have bags of felt lying around my room now, but I don't have the motivation to do anything with it as of yet.

Talla P'Trell Felt... Like Being an Engineer in Starfleet!

I finished my second felt plush today - Lt. Talla P'Trell (not an actual character), an Andorian (female/zhen/shen) engineer:

I was fortunate enough to find the exact color I wanted for the skin this time. This plush is slightly taller and thinner that that of Sarek (as some Andorians actually are) and the clothing was a bit more complicated.Also, I am actually super proud of how the antennae turned out.

And now felt-Sarek has a friend! Don't they both look thrilled.

I plan on eventually making felt-plushies of the entire TOS crew, as well as some other favorites and original characters - so stay tuned!

Ambassador Sarek Felt... Logical.

I finally went and got myself some felt sheets yesterday, and got to work on something I have been meaning to do for months now - making felt/plush Star Trek characters.

I am working on a couple right now, and already finished my first: Ambassador Sarek!

 

I couldn't find the exact color that I wanted for the skin - I didn't want to used peach (too human) and the only other options were too green, or white. As you can obviously see, I chose to go with white.

I also had a slight problem with the script (rata, tafar, tapan) down his robe, because it is practically impossible to cut tiny symbols out of felt with any amount accuracy.

As this was my first attempt at making anything felt-related, I am quite proud of the way it turned out. And just look at those button eyes! Adorable. If Mark Lenard was still alive, I would find a way to send this to him as a thanks for being so awesome.

Next up: an Andorian from engineering.
