Members of Project Dalek did some more filming yesterday for Dr Who Meets the Scorpion. Anyone who loves the whole vibe of Classic Who with a unique nod towards the movies should take a look once this is released (later i nthe year). If there is enough support there could be a sequel. 

I found some clear casting resin so have poured some of that into the balls and that should seal the tubes at one end.    tested the 2x5 sabertooth in analog mode and its still not working.  Dimension Engineering replied to my email and are shipping me a replacement. Big credit to them for customer service!   had a play with the head rotation today. Fixed the bearing to the neck after cutting a hole.      then drilled and mounted the motor to the head base board   the motor is quite small but the reduction is geared down to 18rpm so the torque and speed is reasonable (but not scary!)   I fixed a strip of aluminium at the top of the neck   and hot glued a 10mm socket to a drive collar   it took a bit of fettling to get everything centralised but it seems ok   IMG_0034.mov   I still have the option to revert to a motor driving a wheel near the edge of the baseboard so will see how this works once the head is built up a bit more.          IMG_0028.mov

But Ian.... what movie Dalek are you going to be building?? I must know!

Wow! Great job and a wonderful How To!
