      Dalek Daphne - 70s Style Dalek

      By The Red Mechanoid · Posted

      In the months before my 16th birthday in 2017, my parents asked me what I wanted the most and I said that I’d like to build a dalek. So, my dad and I embarked on this project to build one. It took us two years, working on weekends and during holiday to gradually construct  it out of MDF and fibreglass. By my 18th birthday it was more or less complete.    Following the plans on Project Dalek, we constructed the skirt and middle out of MDF and fibreglass. We struggled to wrap the middle with wood so instead opted to use picture mounting card and fibreglass over the top. It worked well.   The dome was sourced from a bloke down in Somerset if memory recalls. I saw the listing on eBay and on a drive back from holiday we stopped by to collect it. He was very kind to give me some prints of the TARDIS and showed me his vast collection of other daleks out in the field round the back of his barn.    We got the slats cut by a local company out of metal. I know the TV ones are painted plastic and it would have been better to save on weight, but they seem more durable. I did damage one in the process of building it so unfortunately it’s a slat down and they are spaced incorrectly.    We were running out of time and money for the project so I hastily finished the sanding and painting the summer before I headed off to university. I decided to paint it a gunmetal grey to match the Pertwee era daleks as I thought it was more unique. I was never happy with the finish and I didn’t colour match the props well so ultimately it sat there 90% complete, gathering dust. The disks on the eye were cardboard, the lights were wrong, the finish was rough and it was sat there getting tatty. My sister threw  a house party about a year ago and it got badly smashed up.    I finally decided to complete the project two months ago. I left my job and was given a £100 gift card which worked in Halfords so headed there ready to buy spray paint and lacquer. I stripped the paint, re-sanded it and painted it into a Genesis colour scheme. I purchased the correct dome lights which took some searching and had proper acrylic discs cut for the eyes. I polished it up and I’m happy to call it completed.    I didn’t really keep a build diary. If I find pictures of it in the process of being built I will upload later. The first two images you see is the original unfinished Pertwee look. The rest of the pictures are the newly repainted and improved look.    Enjoy
