Warhammer 40K: Incredible Blood Angel cosplay
This cosplay pushes the limits. I wonder if we’re talking about a new genre here as this incredible Space Marine must be as much engineering as it is costume design and fandom. The video shows the Blood Angel touring LinCon 2013. The suit took about 400 hours to make, spready over 10 month and weighs [...]
All 11 Doctors, the TARDIS and a few generations of sonic screwdriver
This collection of Doctor Who fan art, showing all current 11 Doctors and the TARDIS, is the work of deviant artist Erich Owen. Owen is based in the US and took a break from drawing James Bond when we started this collection of Timelords.

Wait, isn’t that the wrong way around? Someone has spent a lot of time knitting some Dalek armour and has then been brave [...]
T-shirt: Chibi TARDIS versus Dalek
Gimmick Tees are running two designs from Jeff Pina this week. The first is a great one for Doctor Who fans; a rather cute looking TARDIS giving a Dalek a hard time. You know she would.
Hobbit Hole cake
You would think it would be quite hard to bake a hole. However, Pink Cake Box have done that and gone one further. They’ve baked a Hobbit Hole and made a fantastic looking cake. Middle Earth baking is a thing. Have you seen this Smaug versus Bard cake already?
