SpaceDustbin08
Hi guys, SpaceDustbin08 here. I thought I'd start posting my progress soon.· 0 replies
Being a full time college student and part time content creator leaves little time for updates and dalek posting, but now I'm ready to post and this is a short-ish brief on my budget dalek.
HERE WE GO!
Basically, after high school I got bored. Really bored. So I had the bright idea of making my own Dalek, because why not. With help from my grandad who has a background in woodwork and welding etc, we quickly decided that this wouldn't be exactly like a dalek from comic cons, because of a college kid's budget and for storage space. This Dalek would be unique!
The pictures that I post on here will be from July 2024 onwards.
Find out more as I post about it...

Dalek Two Zero
Had a great time in Liverpool, but did notice a bunch of jobs to sort out.· 0 replies
My wiring from the eyelight is loose in the cockpit, I need to secure a lot of wiring, probably using pieces of hose pipe to clip it in.
It wants splitting too, so it is easier to separate with the dome and neck off.
My cockpit could do with some better organization, so I can have powerbricks feeding cameras.
The superior front blindspot cam should be added.
The holder for my iris control needs replacing and moving to make access to it easier - I was struggling to deliver smooth "cheeky winks"
Internal storage needs to be increased.
My onboard spares and tools case was missing a couple of bits.
All my camera phones need the movies removing, I was constantly running out of space.
After two days heavy use, and no overnight charge, I was showing 70% battery remaining.
The gun could really do with a feature, such as that pop out flag, it's useless as it is.
I need to label the lightswitch for my eyelight too, I kept forgetting if it was on or off!

I'm building a Shawcraft MK3, so I may try and fit a speaker behind the slats and mesh on the front, above the gunbox instead. Another idea I had was to stray from convention a bit and create a speaker grille where the oval on the gunbox is. But I don't think I'll go that route in the end. -

@gazzer23 has just posted, in another topic: (He's building an NSD, and 3D printed special slats for his speakers) -

Of course! But then again he'd sound even better through a proper sound system! 😆 I do agree, though - the core of the Dalek voice is the performer. I'm just looking to optimise the finishing touches to the signal chain to make it shine through as best as possible. Ah, my mistake. I'm still a total novice when it comes to the practical side - I tend to do all my sound work in the digital realm through headphones and amp sims. Still, better to learn this when I'm still in the planning phase rather than when I'm actively building the thing. I may still end up buying speaker cones and making the enclosures myself. Most compact speakers I can find are of the Bluetooth variety, and I've no clue if those would properly interface with a Martmod. I'm thinking I could build a box to match the curvature of the neck. Thank you for your input, it's genuinely been very helpful. Thanks John, I'll definitely have a look!
