      Squid's 60's Prop

      By Squid1562 · Posted

      More progress has been made! The new skirt section has been raised, and I'm currently waiting for the panel reinforcement to cure as I'm typing this. As mentioned before, the new frame pieces were cut from 1/2" MDF board, and the new skirt panels were cut from 1/8" Hardboard. The hardboard was so much nicer to work with than the underlay I was using before. It's actually bendy and flexible enough that I wasn't afraid of breaking a panel every time I held it. That aside, I used the "duct tape" method to check fit and alignment before mounting the panels to the skirt frame. Once I was happy with everything, the panels were nailed to the frame and the temporary supports removed. Afterwards, I found a box that was the right height and couldn't resist doing a stack-up Seeing my prop at its full size for the first time, with a near complete silhouette gave me chills. I also was starkly reminded that I'm a whole foot and third taller than a 60's Dalek After that little bit of fun, I started on reinforcing the panel seams. Considering I'm a large 6'4" person, I want as much leg room inside the skirt as possible, so a strutless skirt was a no-brainer for my second attempt.   I'm reinforcing the seams with fiberglass reinforced P40. It seems to be working a treat, the 4 panels I've reinforced so far are rock solid. Once everything is reinforced I can move on to sanding and hemi mounting. I also finally got the arm roughed out. I'm cheating and only doing two stages for the arm, the final "stage" is only a couple inches long and has since been epoxied into the end of the second stage. More to come with this eventually, but right now the shoulders has both appendages in place and that gives me unbelievable amounts of serotonin.

      Hello again, more progress this week:   Construction of the dome begun: I used one of bec and jek's old dome segment templates to form the dome by taping lots of triangles and forming them in a loop. Then, I simply filled in some gaps with paper.   Then, I figured I'd work out the cowl and domelights will work before making more progress on the dome (minus the eyestalk for now)   For the domelights I'll fit some spare led lights in which have different light modes on command for when I'm talking, as for the speech modulation I've thought of using pre-recorded dalek voice lines but if anyone has any more budget ideas it'd be helpful.   But after I figured the dome might need some more support to make it less bendy so I paper-  mached it roughly about 3 layers.   As of now ill be waiting for the dome to dry for a couple days but I might start working out ideas for the eyestalk.     Honestly finding this forum has made it 10x more easier than I would've thought constructing a lifesize dalek would be 😅.

      Dalek Zeta: Slow Process Of The Daleks 😔

      By RepeatedMeme · Posted

      The simplest way is a one-piece flat cut-out (bigger all round than the skirt base) that really needs to be at least 15mm thick. This will support the Dalek on casters, and your weight as well (sitting). 6mm isn't thick enough.
