About this deal

One little thing you can do now if you had to use more than one peace for the final layer, is to use a little more adhesive, put some on your finger, and rub over all the joins to eventually make it look like one peace . When finished, leave overnight. What was need to be done now was to create some kind of support frame to take the weight of the body, chest, head and mechanisms. I had to keep the overall weight of the Darlek build down, simply because the tank was kinda old and after some testing, found out that it couldn't take too much weight, as it would not turn properly and the cogs connected to the drive motors would start to slip and make a nasty grinding noise. Not cool. I will give steps on how I made this frame, but there is probably a better, neater way of doing so.

Doctor Who 12″ Remote Dalek Re-Release… 76 15 Jul 2017 Doctor Who 12″ Remote “Asylum” Dalek (Toys r Us) All the wires for the lights and aerial should be connected and running through the center of every panel. You should have a good length of the center axle which will turn the head, poking through the top of the chest section. I should mention here that on a real Dalek, the ring section stays fixed to the chest section and only the actual head dome rotates. I went a little different with this as I didn't want the 4 wires coming from the eye stalk pulling to much on the housing, and I need room for the pulley system for the eye stalk. Using a craft knife of a drill, make 2 holes in the deodorant lid, 1 in the center, and another towards top center (as seen in the main photo). Pull the lens from the lens cover, feed through the center hole, glue the edges of the lens cover to the lid, wait for glue to set for a couple of hours. IMPORTANT. Waiting a couple of hours insures that glue fumes do not attach themselves to the lens itself, later obstructing the view. Then refit the lens (making sure the lens was the right way up before fixing in place, which I forgot to do at first, oops). What I then did was to glue a very small rubber gromit to the microphone hole, then gently pushed the mic in to place.This radio control 18 inch interactive Gold Dalek from the Dr Who series responds to over 30 different spoken commands… 29 9 May 2008 12″ Radio Controlled Assault Dalek Make a small pilot hole in the top center of the lid and insert a screw. Then twist a small peace of foam on to the screw. The 12″ Radio Controlled Supreme Dalek featured in Two episodes from series Four… 13 7 Jul 2008 18″ Radio Controlled Dalek To finish the head off, and to add some much needed stability, grab a peace of cardboard, lay on the work surface and place the head on top. Draw around the head on to the cardboard and cut out a cardboard disk. You will now need to cut out an inner circle to make a ring, about 3cm deep. Use the ever faithful grab adhesive and pipe some out around the edge of one side of the entire ring. Then place the head on to the ring making sure all around is flush with the ring edge. You will have a good few minutes to get it absolutely perfect before the adhesive begins to set, so don't panic and feel you have to rush this step. It will pay off with the end result.

Using a peace of strong corrugated cardboard the same size or larger than an A4 paper sheet, place the paper template on to the cardboard and use a pen to draw around it. Then cut around the marked edges of the cardboard using a craft knife and ruler (or a peace of straight wood) to help keep the edges nice and straight. We're about half way through the build now and are going to make the Darlek look a bit more like a Dalek now. This was a fun part to make, although a little bit fiddly and delicate to do. I had some good photos to go by to make the eye stalk but I did have to make a few slight modifications to the actual eye peace. The reason for this is because I wanted to add something a bit special, a small WiFi web cam, that could be viewed through an iPhone or PC which could stream real time live video and take photos. Using a very sharp craft knife, cut around the hemisphere join of the ball-ball to give you 2 halves. The ball-ball I used had a small hollow nodule to allow a peace of string to pass through to hang it on a Christmas tree. I managed to cut it in half and kept it in tact as this would be useful later. Cut 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. 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.To attach the head, apply some blobs of grab adhesive to the top of all 6 of the PVC foam supports and rest the head down on to them, applying a little pressure downward, insuring the head is on straight and even all the way around, then leave to set. Moving on up now, the weapons housing and main chest panel now needs to be done. Lets start with the weapons housing. This fully functional radio controlled Dalek has built-in infrared combat system which allows you to use two Daleks to battle against each other… 58 16 Jun 2010 12″ Radio Controlled Davros This part is a bit of trial and error. I needed to cut out a circle of the center of the now shaped cardboard to fit over the turret of the tank, and leave enough room for the turret to move freely with no obstruction, as the gap between the chassis and turret was not completely flat. So cut small to start then cutting more where needed to avoid cutting out to much cardboard and making it weaker. As seen in the photo, I did not cut out a circle but rather cut to shape of the protruding body parts of the tank and helping make the base level.
