      I've come to realize that my current set of instructions won't work to build a Dalek but the plans i want, the Shawcraft Tv Daleks mark 1, are out of stock and unavailable for download. When might they come in stock? Is there a downloadable version too?

      I'm now considering using some form of pedal system, like lobotomizing a tricycle and using that to be inside the dalek like those red and yellow cars with the pedals in them

      I’m going to start building my own dalek soon, but I’m unsure about how to make it mobile, I’m  hoping to make it one that is full scale and can be brought to conventions, but have no clue what to do, any ideas that aren’t super expensive?

      Deadline is usually around new years. The mods usually set up a club where we discuss the theme in private. I'm sure they'll let you join the club even if you're on the fence.

      Here's the second episode on the Eye stalk. I've deviated from the recommended design and I'm using 25mm tube for the length of the stalk. I did this to leave the tube clear to take connectors or anything large through it. Oh yeah I also cover a lot of perspex/acrylic/plexiglass drilling and cutting which some people might find handy.

      'Still working on the animation! I've nearly finished on the second to last shot which is the one I've attached here. I think it's coming along quite well, I wanted to sort of replicate the movements of the 60s daleks where they move about when they speak-I've added it on the two main daleks in the shot. I think I've replicated it fairly well! What do you think folks, is there anything which can be improved/need more work on? I'm open to feedback! There's no sound in this clip as I don't want to spoil the animation too much! Just imagine the two Daleks are speaking in this shot 😆 I'll animate the third Dalek in the background more, tomorrow. 🙂 Shot6NoSound WM.mp4

For example, this is a search for the phrase "dome rotation" which pulls in fewer than 14000+ pages (856 to be exact)... https://www.projectdalek.com/index.php?/search/&q="dome rotation"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy   And this search for the phrase "motorised dome" has a mere 24 results... https://www.projectdalek.com/index.php?/search/&q="motorised dome"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy
