Painting The Exclusive Doctor Who Miniatures With James Brown
Battlefront Miniatures has created a pair of exclusive promotional figures commemorating the Doctor's tank-riding entrance for his 'axe battle' in the episode The Magician's Apprentice.
One in 15mm scale (to match the rest of the Flames Of War and Team Yankee ranges), standing on a Chieftain tank like in the episode, and the other scaled to match the Doctor figures in the Time of the Daleks board game.
They are both fun figures to paint, in their own way. Obviously, you can include somewhat more detail on the larger figure.

The Doctor's Tank The Chieftain tank in the episode is painted a desert sand colour - possibly the colour British tanks were painted for the first Gulf War ('Operation Granby', to them).

The Doctor's Trousers On the 32mm figure, you can have a go at painting the plaid pattern on the Doctor's trousers if you like. I wouldn't recommend it on the 15mm Doctor, though - a plain dark grey will work fine at that smaller scale (or indeed on the 32mm figure, if you don't feel confident enough tackling fine detail.)

The Doctor's T-shirt The Doctor's T-shirt in the episode features a print in shades of grey, and you can paint a suggestion of this if you like. Or you can just paint it plain white or pale grey.

The Doctor's Guitar Paint the Doctor's guitar as neatly as you can in black and white (plain white will suffice for the mother-of-pearl scratchplate) and finish it with a coat of gloss varnish.
