      Hi Craig.
       
      I've just bought a 2nd movie dalek (originally from This Planet Earth) and looking to make many improvements.
       
      The eye stalk is impossibly heavy, being made from solid aluminium rods with aluminium disks and an eye ball that appears to be cast resin(!)
       
      It all has to be a lot lighter as I want to remote control the eye and dome and install a blue LED etc.
      I have someone who will 3D print the eyeball and I think I can source the aluminium tubing etc but Im stuck with the disks.
       
      Can you supply me with a set of perspex disks please?
       
      Im in Jersey (postage should be the same as UK) so please let me know if you can send some over and the cost?
       
      Mod edit: email/phone removed.
       
      Cheers
       
      Mike

      Sad news about Tony Slattery - I had the pleasure of meeting him both in and out of a Dalek last September.
      Here is the low res Dalek eyecam footage - he shook my claw!

      Began the painting process today with two coats of MDF primer. The plan is to sand it back with 400-800 grit sandpaper, apply a coat of general purpose primer, followed by 2-3 coats of emulsion paint and finished with a clear gloss lacquer. I also finished cutting out the hemis - there are gaps where the seams used to be, I plan to cover them up with black gloss tape but am open to other ideas.

      Might play with the lighting some more, but I'll leave it at this for today. Took me a bit before arriving to the decision to add back lighting to the mutant, it just felt like it was missing something without it. Might add the back highlighting to the casing as well, but I'll leave that for the animation when I add in an environment. The only things left to do it to rig the casing ( as I kind of forgot to do that xD ), model an NSD drone & guard and make the environment.

      After months of procrastination, I finally finished modelling this guy.   I thought the Daleks could do with some better gun and arm articulation.
