      The Trasler Co-Op NSD

      By Damian Trasler · Posted

      In the Good Old Days, when we had a Mazda 5, I could fit all of Derek into the one car. Since we upgraded to the Rav 4, many things are better, but the seats don't fold down as far, so the bumpers didn't fit in with everything else. The last event we went along to, I had to get my kid to take the bumpers in their car. In an attempt to find a way around this, I had a hitch put on the car, but then I couldn't figure out the whole parking thing. I'd have to find two parking spaces, end to end? When I found myself drawing sketches of a specially-built trailer that would stand on end when it got where it was going, and strap to the back of the car so you only needed one parking spot, I knew I had to do something else.   I started cruising the local sites for a hitch-attached bike racks, reasoning that I would still be using the hitch, and most of them have a sort of platform that I could rest the bumpers on. Then I remembered that I already have a regular bike rack in the shed. We haven't used it in ages because we don't want to ride our bikes anywhere most of the time, so taking them out to places *not* to ride them seems unnecessary. What if, I thought, what if I could fit the bumpers on the regular bike rack, and then I don't have to spend ANY more money?   So I tried it.     I'll add bungee cords to make sure nothing slips or bumps off when we're driving, but it fits quite snugly. If I'm right that everything else fits inside without extra work (which I tend to avoid, so that's likely!) then I can get all of Derek to the next location (Simon Fraser University) for the MetroCon in October.   Of course, I did pay to get the hitch put on, but there's always a chance we'll rent a trailer tent for a holiday. Mrs Dim seems quite keen on that.   Oh, and not quite off-topic: I'm recycling two of the very first neck rings I made - as windows for the Halloween Scream Engine, now under construction beside the shed.

      MacQuigley's 70s Dalek

      By MacQuigley · Posted

      I cleaned up the mould tonight and filled a couple of small "potholes" and then got a first coat of wax on it. I drew a mock up of the the neck and the overlap of the dome is still within the diameter of upper neck ring, so I'll go ahead and make a dome from this mould. I can always make another if I really don't like it.

      MacQuigley's 70s Dalek

      By 13doctorwho · Posted

      That's only 22.5 millimeters a side. And if you trim the bottom a bit higher you can probably get that down (as previously suggested). With the variance in screen used 60s, 70s and 80s Daleks I don't think it's as bad as it at first sounds.    One of the benefits of making classic Daleks is the wiggle room in the construction. I would definitely cast one and put it on the neck and see how it looks to you. Seeing the Daleks on Blu-ray has really made me less hard on myself. I love the Daleks, I always will, but the props did not come off an assembly line.  Just a thought. If you layup a thickness of fiberglass in your mold without release agent you can make the mold smaller. You'd have to smooth the inside. A layer of resin and a lot of wax to smooth it might allow you to salvage the mold.   Just thinking out loud. Molds are expensive and time consuming to make... it's just a silly thought I had... there are probably some good reasons it's a dumb idea... but you never know.
