Some further suggestions for well known Lords
Lord Lucan
Lord Sugar (a few cubes stuck on as a hint?)
Lord Kitchener

Thought of all of those, but can't do recognisable models.
Clues (such as sugar cubes) and clever hints would be great for one of those puzzle pictures, but for something like this, people need to see it straight away or they'll just go away confused.
But I've now done my ten lords in their hunting finest, and am moving on to pipers and drummers.

At least pipers can hold pipes and drummers hold drums

I guess that rules out drum machines then....

Yep. Definitely easier to recognise.

Sorry, but I won't be making ten Doktors, er, Doktoring.

Of course not and besides I'm sure your 12 drummers will be far more recognisable in any case

The Doktor's the only drummer I know of who fits in a case.

Ah yes, the famous incident of Siegfried and Roy stuffing Phil Collins in a flight case, and sticking swords in it. They claimed they were just rehearsing for their stage act, but the luggage tag confirmed it wasn't their case, and it took six airport security guards to subdue the tiger.

You cannot imagine how much I want that to be true

Well, you weren't wrong. Attempted the dwarf musician and had a nervous breakdown just doing the base! Having got that far, I will be foolhardy enough to try and finish it, but I definitely won't get thirty-three of them done in time, so it'll have to go on the back burner while I do simpler pipers and drummers (probably from the same base as the lords). Those, at least, should only take a few days.

I hate it when that happens. There's one of Satoshi Kamiya's Dragon models that I've tried folding three times and I still can't do it. One of his weird half-sink-unsink folds and whoops the paper rips. At exactly the same point in the instructions every time.

Must be the instructions then. That's always my excuse, anyway.
