      Had a great time in Liverpool, but did notice a bunch of jobs to sort out.
      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!

      Thank you for allowing me the opportunity of joining this community. I was introduced to Dr Who in 2005 when they rebooted the series and have been wanting to build my own Dalek since then.

      Unusual Questions On Dalek Props Detailings

      By Cedric · Posted

      Thanks for the link, Chris, but I think I've found my answer on the Dalek Designs PDF from dalekplanet.com, which it says that they; the Mark 1, 2, and 3 Daleks' shoulder sections, were colored U.S. Med Gray, or just Mid Grey according to ArtyClick, probably explaining the inconsistent color (colour) shades under certain circumstances and the several interpretations, but if I'm wrong, then I'll keep looking in the link you've sent.

      Unusual Questions On Dalek Props Detailings

      By Chris Moliere · Posted

      It's always ok to ask questions! Since you're new I'd recommend exploring all the different parts of the forum, since odds are your questions will have already been asked.  The shoulder colors vary slightly from iteration to iteration from a blue-grey to flat grey to a solid blue for the new series versions, there's several topics in the Finishing Off sections about the different colors. https://www.projectdalek.com/index.php?/forum/131-painting-your-dalek/

      Unusual Questions On Dalek Props Detailings

      By Cedric · Posted

      These questions may be a bit unusual and silly, but I do have questions on the Imperial Daleks and the Shawcraft Daleks: Why are the Imperial Daleks' dome lights flat and disk (disc) shaped and can I add my own dome light designs, this question is not Dalek fiction, I don't really intend to do that, just curious, and what was the color (colour) of the Shawcraft Mark 1, 2, and 3 Daleks' shoulder section, because from Wikipedia, it states that on the Mark 1 Daleks, they were gray (grey)/blue, which I don't really trust, and it doesn't mention the color (colour) of the shoulder section of the Mark 2 and 3 Daleks, which the insulting part is from the Character Options figures, which the Mark 1 and Mark Daleks' shoulder sections are in this shade where it turns grayish (greyish) blue in certain lighting and the Mark 3 Dalek's shoulder section is just pure light marble gray (grey), and in the colorization (colourisation) of "The Daleks", all the Mark 1 Daleks had this brownish gray (grey), if my questions are being a burden and wasting your time, I apologize, it's just that my mind is overly excited to construct these pepperpots on my computer, I don't really mean to be a burden.

      Developing Two New Voice Mod Designs

      By Aussie Kev · Posted

      The S.S.R model A will get a name change for next year. Been running for just over 12 month's now.   Started on 2 new models for next year.   So I want to downgrade the design to try and create 2 new models that will be entry level after I remove a lot of the special feature's.   The dual oscillator version is going into a brand new larger case.   May run out of time to get them up and running and tested for this year to see if they work.
