I get bored sometimes and I love spaceships. I *really* love Doctor Who<\/a> model spaceships more than any other kind too and the Cybermen<\/a> have, over the years, had a bunch of corkers<\/a>. And so, I occasionally try my hand at doodling some.

The Moonbase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I had to choose a favourite, it would be a close run thing between the original Tenth Planet ships and these. I reckon The Moonbase would win out by a nose though because they are wonderful 50\u2019s-esque flying saucers and, well, you can\u2019t really beat flying saucers, can you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wheel In Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the strangest Cybership design in all Who, looking as it does like a meat tenderizer crossed with a vacuum nozzle with some bits stuck on but that\u2019s also why I like them. They\u2019re kind of wrong in their own little way and knocking together model spaceships should result in the odd one or two that, frankly, looks freakish and inexplicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenge Of The Cybermen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Buck Rogers\/Flash Gordon style Cybership from Revenge is undone a little bit by looking more than a bit plasticy in colour but harking back to thirties sparks-out-the-back rocket ship design is always a fantastic choice in my books. And you know, even though it was one of only a few stories the video shop had back in the early VHS years (and so, I watched it loads), I still have a soft spot for the story. I just really dislike the cybermats in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
