The latest Doctor Who themed toy from Character Options is one of the best value items the company has released so far - it's also one of the most entertaining.One thing I forgot to mention, I wanted to insert a small switch in between the last 2 outer layers to switch the under chassis lighting on and off. I did this by cutting a small hole though all 3 layers before fitting to the base. This was done at the rear of the Dalek, just below the maintenance panel. The switch was glued between the 2nd and 3rd layer keeping the switch flush with the outer layer.

Now comes another fiddly bit. It can be done yourself, but having another pair of hands will make life much easier. Before the head is permanently attached to the ring section, we need to fix the pulley wire coming from the eye stalk counter lever, to the wheel on the motor described in step 8. Doctor Whoo oo, HEY, Doctor Who, Doctor Whoo oo, HEY, The T.A.R.D.I.S". Who remembers that little gem of a song (or not as the case may be ;-) from 1988 by The Timelords (AKA The KLF). Anyway that was NOT the inspiration I got for starting this project, but photos of homemade Daleks I have seen on the net, projects people have made on Instructables, especially the ones made by craftycounterpart and by Sci_Fi_Steve which are very cool, and of course Doctor Who's 50th anniversary certainly were.

I should note that in some of the photos, where the camera lens joins the eye peace, it can be seen where I did originally use PVC foam but it looked really rough which is when I decided to use the deodorant lid instead which I think looks much neater. IMPORTANT NOTE. I placed the motor on a small length of wood with the newly made pulley wheel laying flat and below the motor cog. This was to prevent any excess glue running down the drive shaft and then seizing the motor. The power switch and charging port for the camera is located on the side of the housing. I needed easy access to these so they were going to be facing the front. The eye stalk motor needed to be facing upward but towards the rear of the ring section (as seen in photo). I simply positioned the 2 parts together until I has happy with the placement, marked, and made 2 pilot holes through the motor screw holes into the camera housing, then screwed together using 2 small stubby screws.

The 12″ Radio Controlled Imperial Guard Dalek was originally released in 2006 a Woolworth’s exclusive… 23 7 May 2008 12″ Radio Controlled Dalek Thay To help make it clearer, the measurements can also be seen on the in-photo information. When the sides are marked out and your happy that both left and right sides look equal,, cut out the template. Cut out a 3cm tall thin cardboard strip ( it can be done in 2 parts like the chest cover), cut out a small section to go around underneath the weapons panel, pipe some more grab adhesive around the bands and attach to the bottom part of the chest, and rub a little bit more over any joins. Continue to fix the rest of the struts starting with front middle one. Now the trial and error bit comes in here. You want the top plate to be as level as possible, so here you can alter the size of the strut using and taping up the tabs which will also help to center the top plate and keep the tube axle straight when it rotates. Finish off fitting the last 2 struts and when the glue is dry, simply use a pair of scissors to trim off any excess cardboard from the strut tabs so everything is flush with the top plate. Cover both sides of the 4 rings with a thin coating of grab adhesive, using your finger to rub it in and completely cover the rings. Leave to dry which will only take a few minutes. They might bend a bit when dry, but they will straighten up later when fully assembled.This stunning model represents Davros as seen in The Stolen Earth and Journeys End… 11 7 Nov 2008 18″ Radio Controlled Supreme Dalek Now you can enter into a series of voice activated modes. To start with let's look at the extensive memory databank that the Dalek carries. To do this you must activate the Dalek by saying: "Dalek." Wait for it to say: "Yes" and then you have to say: "Do you recognise..." (wait for iris stalk to flash) and then say the name of a Doctor Who character or creature. If the Dalek recognises what you say it will tell you something about it. For example, if you say: "The Doctor" it starts ranting about him, or if you say: "The Emperor" it starts to shake as it tells you how powerful he is.

Condition: Some new & used collectables. All items are in good condition please see photos & descriptions for more detailsCut off 6 equal lengths of the steel wire, and bend both ends to the same length of the the pilot holes, end to end of the pen. The bends need to be about 2cm long. Here I will show you how I made my scratch built Dalek using items I rescued from our recycling bin, a broken but functional radio controlled tank, and other bits and peaces I had laying around crying out to be used. I hope this Instructable will give you some inspiration to make your own Dalek, as I think we need more of these poor misunderstood creatures roaming around our own little planet (even though they are hell bent on controlling the universe). If you can, insert 2 of the marker pens in to each other, if not, then glue together. Then carefully wrap some aluminum tape around the length of both pens making it as smooth as you can, twisting the pens and smoothing the tape slowly. With the camera, it had 2 small PC boards, 1 with the on/off switch, charging port and battery, and the other connected to the camera lens and microphone. They were connected by 4 small wires with a small, plug which I had to cut and extend. If you decide to use a camera, please bear in mind that it will probably differ to the one I used, and the wiring may be different to what is mentioned below. Now continue with the rest of the larger slats. Its best to attach the first longer slat beside the weapons panel first, then fix your second slat to the rear directly over the inspection panel. This helps you evenly space out the slats all the way around. Done.
