Re: Working on a DALEK.
Nice work. I attempted to build a dalek about 15 yrs ago. The dome head was the toughest to fabricate. I build a Type 40 TARDIS console for a couple of Dr Who fan videos for friends in the clubs in Los Angeles.

Re: Working on a DALEK.
I'm on a very low budget, basicaly nothing.. Unemployed stay at home dad. I am using what i can find, and this thing is only for my kids to play with. it is not going on display or anything, and who said I was going for a smooth finish, a damaged beat up dalek looks cool.
Anyway thanks for all the kind words. when i buil my showcase piece I will use better material. But for a kids play thing this will do fine.

If it's a kids toy you'll want LOTS of padding inside as well as maybe rigging up a fan or something to keep air flowing. Junk PC parts usually make for easy cooling systems.

Re: Working on a DALEK.
Thanks for the tips, I plan on putting a fan inside for sure, I would die without a fan in my clone helmet.
Heres an updated pic, started working on the ball joints of the arms and the gun arm today.

Even rough the gun arm looks good. Can't wait to see that with a finished paint job.

Re: Working on a DALEK.
LOVE that idea!!,,, I think I will have to work on that secrectly, and install it as a suprise.. Thanks!!..
Are your kids going to ride inside it? If so then you should have a nerf gun hooked up for the gun arm, they would love it.

Re: Working on a DALEK.
Ive built a Dalek - have you tried downloading the guides from Dalek Doctor Who - Project Dalek builders full size plans and forum support
I have a fan inside Winston ( my NSD ) and quite happy to take some reference pics if that helps you.
I do have a build diary, but you may have to join ( sorry MODS ) Project Dalek to read them.
