Kallisti Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I've been trying to find one of these kits for a reasonable price for quite some time and fianlly I managed to snag one that didn't make the wallet have palpitations. Due the excitement of getting this, I had to put the current Walrus build to one side and start this almost immediately! Its not a difficult kit to build, considering it is a limited run from the 1990s. The biggest problem I had was with the metallic finish! There are 3 shades of metallic paint: Dome and Skirt: Mr Color Aluminium airbrushed Shoulder vertical bars: Mr Color Aluminium brush painted Horizontal shoulder bands: Mr Color Chrome Silver aorbtished Neck rings, eye stalk, gun and manipulator arm: Tamiya X-10 Gunmetal airbushed. The hemispheres on the skirt and the disks on the eyestalk are Tamiya X-14 Sky blue The main shoulder structure behind the bands is Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey The main neck structure and skirt base is XF-1 Matt Black Sink Plunger XF-69 Nato Black Eye bulb X-18 Semi Gloss black with a circle of white decal from an old decal set and my punch and die set This was built to represent a Mk 3 Dalek which was first introduced in the Bill Hartnell story The Chase and lasted into the Tom Baker era. In particular I've gone for the colour scheme from one of the Daleks in "Death to the Daleks" from the Jon Pertwee era . This is the box it comes in: There are two types of kit that were produced, this one and one that represents the Peter Cushing movie Daleks, which had bigger skirts, different lights on the dome and claws instead of sink plungers. The content of the kit is not huge Its odd that these photos don't show the metallic paint finish on the skirt very well, probably because I'm not using the flash in the camera! This pic from during construction shows the metallic paint much more effectively I've very pleased with the result - apart from the hassles with the metallic paint, it was a fun build and only took about a week - one of my fastest builds! The main problem I have now is I WANT ANOTHER!!!! Black and Gold next time Here you go with the best Dr Who intro there is - okay I'm biased, JP was MY Doctor when growing up Edit: I forgot to link to the WIP thread: Edited December 12, 2017 by Kallisti 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airfixpeter Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Nice build there but I don't wish to nit pick(not really me) but as you mentioned you had given it the death to the daleks look but the look you have given it is the black and white era from the chase onwards as the death to the daleks would have been painted with black skirt bumps and the mid section would be black behind the slats. But I will apologise for nit picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 saw this at club night on Monday - its a brilliant model - finished to a very clean and high standard I know you are after another one Mr P - but given your skills, perhaps you should try making a Davros in the same scale to keep this ne company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air-to-Air Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I really like this one. I can imagine it rolling around a BBC set circa the 1960s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That is excellent. Looks better than the one the 10 year old me made using bottle corks and pins the day after they appeared on TV! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
