      Themdarndaleks' 3D Printed NSD - Dalek Leche

      By themdarndaleks · Posted

      Thanks both of y'all, ChristmasDalek and RepeatedMeme. After looking it up to verify and going over a few Imperial Dalek build diaries, man I felt REALLY stupid. I'll definitely consider using that once I get some more construction done.

      Jonnyalpha's NSD - Dalek Pi

      By JonnyAlpha · Posted

      So transport time from the School workshop, where the Dalek has been up until now, back to my Garage. I will be using my Auto Spray Equipment and cannot do this on the existing premises.   I think I managed to get the Dalek (less the Fender Section) in the back of my Freelander.     And then stacked in the garage, I needed to have a tidy up to get everything back in and will also need to make some space when it comes to painting.     So as mentioned elsewhere in build diary, my choice of colour was inspired by Dr How's NSD, Dalek Clementine     After spotting it and contacting the restorer, I was able to find out what the paint colours were. Dalek Clementine main colour is Mazda 46v Crystal Soul Red and the Hemispheres are Peugeot gun metal with purple flip mica added to the 2k gloss lacquer, the Slats and bands are Peugeot gun metal grey over Rustolean aged iron texture.  I didn't want to copy this exactly so went with some different colours for the Hemis and Slats (halfords Satin Black IIRC, and painted the shoulder bands as per the skirt.   I ordered my paint with the help of my local Paint supplier (Marlows), I advised them what materials the various Dalek sections were made from and they suggested what types of paint. All the paint was 1K (as I was painting at home with a half mask, but the lacquer coat was rattle can 2K.  They also supplied some adhesion paint for the 3D printed parts, such as the Dome and Cowl, which helps the paint to adhere.   The Primer and the Colour coats all had their own specific thinners at different ratios, 1:1 and 2:1 (not sure which was which)   My spray setup was a 90 Litre Burish 3HP Compressor and LVLP FMT Spray Gun.    I didn't have enough room to paint everything inside the garage so had to place some items outside. It was May and quite warm, so conditions were good. Before starting I sprayed water on the floor to cut down the dust.     After a clean up with some Panel Wipe, on with a couple of coats of grey 1K primer.     As you would expect, once the paint went on, some imperfections became apparent, due to a need for speed, I used some ready mix wood filler, which allowed it to be sanded down not long after it had been applied.     And I couldn't resist a part build up once dry, in deed I needed to to be able to pack everything away.     The following day I started on the Colour Coat, this is applied in two phases, the base coat and then the top colour coat, the amount of layers of top colour coat effect how light or dark the colours come out.            Due to working in confined spaces, when cleaning up, I had an accident with a splash of thinners, luckily it didn't take any paint off.     And another couple of coats of base colour     Again I left this for a day and then time for the top coat and boy what a transformation this made. Once the top colour coat had dried I applied the 2K lacquer (no pics between the two stages).     As I nearly finished the top colour coat, I suddenly realise I had completely forgotten to do the Cowl (I put it up on a shel after its base coat. Luckily I had enough paint left but rushed and made a few mistakes, first off too much paint in one go led to some bubbling, but luckily it resolved itself     All good in the end

      As expected I had connection issues between the neck and the mid section while in motion so I have reworked them and they are now sprung to maintain a good connection. 20260923_153300724.mp4
