      Dalek Oswald - Golden And Glittery Goon (X)

      This is not the beginning of a dome, but, it IS a gunstick! Finally got the garage!   I bought 9 3 mm steel rods, 400 mm long each. I have no spares here- 8 for the cage, 1 for the barrel's flower.   I didnt take many pictures of the process, but it's pretty basic! I did these rods in just a few hours, one of which was learning what to do!   I figured out, I'll just freehand it with a vice, hammer and pliers! Used sandpaper to make marks  Of the first two, I took all the measurements and microcorrected them until they were identical, then I simply used them as the reference for all the other rods of the cage. Its quite a pain correcting the mistakes but I got lucky with a lot of them, Unfortunately, I broke one of the rods while trying to fix the angle! That means the gun cage will have only 7 rods! But, eventually, I coped by realizing I picked very well choosing a Goon Dalek to build, I shall just... embrace the mistake.    But I also learned how I'd shorten down the long ends of the rest!    So with the rest, I'd make marks based off the accurate short ends of the others, and then I'd scrape deep around the edge of the Mark with pliers, and then put the piece in the vice by that, then I'd turn it around and around and then side to side until it broke off! Its not particularly pretty, but I kinda like the dents and scratches!   As for the flower, I actually made that before the cage, I made that in my bedroom just last night. I made the inside with a plastic straw, acrylic tubes, paper towels, tin foil and hot glue... its... gonna need maintenence in a year if we're being generous, but I dont mind because it was fast, easy and works very well! I used Vaseline on the rod so it slides fast without any extra noise other than what the petals make (which i like) the petals are thin plastic sheet, from the Genesis petals template, painted black on the inside so it doesn't scrape on anything, and the bead is just some wooden bead I found.       Wow, I got a lot of progress in before I finished this post! Basically, sacrificial spray paint cup (for collars) drill, tape, rods, and many lonely, dragging hours, I mostly finished the gun! It only needs paint and the ball joint and handle and epoxy resin. This might be the most complicated and fiddly single part of the Dalek (especially with how unprofessional I went about it) so it's good to have it out of the way. Temporarily, I have the rods in by superglue. Tomorrow, Epoxy resin arrives, so it'll all be fixed in permanently later.

      Birmingham Nec MCM 7th-9th August (PD Event)

      By Tobyskyward · Posted

      It's always an honour for me to get to attend with Project Dalek. This weekend was truly amazing. We had a stellar line-up of Daleks and an even more stellar line-up of helpers and spotters. Without them there is no us and firstly I would like to thank them. The most important people though are Simon and Mindy who make it possible for all of us to be there. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all your efforts and I just can't express how much you are appreciated.  For me this event was very daunting as I had been given extra space to Davros the stand up and I added a good few pieces to hopefully do that. Behind the mask I'm happily my version of Davros and I'm pretty comfortable with that now but out of it I am nervous and fairly self conscious all the time. If you are like this then just take a leap of faith and sign up because I promise the only regret you'll have is that you didn't do it earlier.  Anyway here's some pictures of the weekend.
