The Tombs of the Cybermen

Description

"The far wall of the cavern was covered with a structure composed of hexagonal units, one neatly fitting into the other like the cells in a beehive. The surface of each cell was covered with a thin membrane, heavily coated with frost. Visible inside each cell was the hunched, silver figure of a Cyberman, slowly uncurling from an embryonic posture and stretching. At last the most advanced one, now in a sitting position, raised his steel fist and struck sideways at the plastic membrane. Another blow from his fist, and the membrane was in shreds like a split drum. The Cyberman rose up and pushed his way out of the cell and stood upright in front of the honeycomb.
One by one the other silver giants broke out of their centuries-old cells and climbed down to stand beside their companion." - from Doctor Who and the Tomb of the Cybermen, novelised by Gerry Davis.

So, the BFI had a special screening of Tomb of the Cybermen today as part of Doctor's Who's year-long anniversary celebrations, and seeing as I couldn't be there, I thought I'd join in the fun in a different way.
I also wanted to do some work featuring the new design for the Cybermen (which I really like). Anybody tempted to cry "heresy" for replacing the cyber-models in this iconic scene (and I wouldn't blame you), I'd just like to defend myself by saying that my piece depicts A Cyber-Tomb, not necessarily THE titular 1967 Cyber-Tomb ;)
