Shawcraft Mk3 Dalek Plans 3.4.1

About This File

The Mk3 Dalek design was originally covered in the 'Shawcraft Mk1, 2 &3' plans booklet (now obsolete).

 

The plans have now been split into three separate booklets for the Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 Daleks. This download is the booklet for the Mk3 version.

 

This split helps to present the variations in a more detailed and logical manner. A great deal of new information has come to light over the last few years, some of it measured directly from original props, some derived by painstaking use of CG modelling and some coming from rare high resolution images. Until now, much of this new data has remained unpublished or has only been available scattered across numerous discussions on the Project Dalek Forum. All this information has been gathered together for the first time and used to create this new set of plans, which represent a significant advance in classic Dalek accuracy.

 

If you intend to use these plans to build a Dalek, please post a Build Diary of your progress on the Forum.

 

These plans are also available to buy as a full colour printed booklet. Click here for details.

Unbelievably comprehensive. Very impressed with the precise measurements of everything (The fact that it even specifies the chamfer angle of the neck rings is particularly impressive). Built a 3D model using these plans and am working on a full scale Dalek using them as well.

Plans are absolutely lovely!
It's helped me with the general shape of the Daleks!
Sadly I don't know how to read the measurements but one day I will!
5/5 stars on trip advisor

I used this for making a 3d model, highly detailed.

Very nice plans. I've planning on building a Dalek and this has definitely given me a head start. Very detailed and gave me a lot of the information that I needed in order to get started.

I'm back on PD after a long break. I printed the original plans out back in 2003, and have been building my Genesis dalek ever since. After 17 years I'm almost finished! 

These plans are indispensable if you are going to do it right.

These plans are of the highest detail, and a credit to all the hard work put into making them, used originally to create my very first Dalek and will be used again as I start the refurb in a couple of weeks.

Using now purely as a memory reminder, however they once were and still are the bible of Dalek building.

Dalek building can be problematic, however with plans of this quality, all the hard research work has been carried out, we must just simply build.

It would be easy to underestimate all the effort and time put into these plans, we must not, we can only say Thank you guys, it hardly seems adequate though.

I know that these plans represent years of work, by quite a few people, especially John. Using these plans, and photos of the 60s Daleks, you should be able to build a very convincing replica.

This is the most comprehensive set of plans regarding the Mk3. This Dalek has many subtle changes which give the builder the option to have a good play around with

the design story to story.

 

Get them downloaded!:)

The best Mk3 plans available. A step up from the combined Classic plans available previously.
