About this deal

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. Using some more cereal box cardboard, this will make the outer chest cover. No measurements here for this, but what I did was use a couple of sheets of scrap A4 paper, measured out 10 cm then cut out a shallow curve, placed it against the chest area, and trimmed off paper that was to high. Then make a cut out to go around the top and sides of the weapons panel. When I was happy with it, I used the paper cutout as a template and marked out 2 sections on the cereal box then cut them out. If you can, insert 2 of the marker pens in to each other, if not, then glue together. Then carefully wrap some aluminum tape around the length of both pens making it as smooth as you can, twisting the pens and smoothing the tape slowly.

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. Just to reiterate, these are not proper spec sizes, but what I came up with and used, which seemed to work quite well in the end. Doctor Who 12″ Remote Dalek Re-Release… 76 15 Jul 2017 Doctor Who 12″ Remote “Asylum” Dalek (Toys r Us)Using a pen, mark 5cm lengths on each side, top and bottom on each rod then, using a craft knife or some scissors, carefully cut down these marks to form 8 flaps, or tabs (4 top, 4 bottom), then put to one side for the moment. Time to put this little guy together by first fixing the ring section to the chest, and then the head to the ring section. 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. With the final rear panel, I wanted to make this into an inspection or maintenance panel so I could easily access the batteries. I simply covered the panel with duct tape, glued the tab to the top plate which will now act as a hinge, then trimmed off the bottom of the panel so the bottom sat just above the base. I will make a fastener using a small peace of Velcro for this later. One thing I forgot to mention, I wanted to insert a small switch in between the last 2 outer layers to switch the under chassis lighting on and off. I did this by cutting a small hole though all 3 layers before fitting to the base. This was done at the rear of the Dalek, just below the maintenance panel. The switch was glued between the 2nd and 3rd layer keeping the switch flush with the outer layer.

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.You can also use the Dalek to guard a location - say for example you want to know if someone approaches your bedroom door. Simply place the Dalek outside your door and activate it. Once it's ready to accept your voice command, you simply say: "Guard location". Then, when anyone comes near, it will warn them to leave the area otherwise they will be exterminated. They have a couple of seconds to comply before it cries: "Exterminate!" and makes a firing sound. And, should you want to sneak past it you simply have to say: "Voice command override." The 18" Voice Interactive Dalek has so many fantastic features that it's difficult to know where to start. And, like an excited child on Christmas morning, this reviewer couldn't wait to get his hands on the goods. Truth be told, when I made this tube axle, I only made it about half the length mentioned, as can be seen in the photos. This was because my original plan was to make the chest/weapons section rotate interdependently to the lower body and head like the Daleks in the 21st century episodes, but I had a change of heart. After watching "Asylum of the Daleks" I had a thought. As I only had 2 motor's to use, one to rotate the chest and one to rotate the head, "I want the eye stalk to go up and down". So that's what I was going to do. Because of this, I now had to extend the length of the tube to reach the base of the head and now have a fixed chest like the older Daleks from the 20th century episodes. The radio controlled tank I had collecting dust, was old and damaged, which was mostly bodywork and a missing wheel, but after replacing the rechargeable batteries and testing it functions, it burst in to life. So now I had a working chassis, forward, reverse, left and right, and a motorized turret which turns about 270 degrees. The motorized cannon which went up and down was also broken, but the motor did still work which I was really pleased about because I had a great use for it. More on that later. Wrap the leftover pen with aluminum tape. Then on the main body of the pen, using a very small screwdriver, make 6 equally spaced pilot holes near the tip end, and then 6 more about 3cm's from the end.

Doctor Who Radio Controlled Inflatable Dalek. A must for any Dr Who fan, this motorised Dalek rolls around the floor repeating its classic catchphrase… 26 20 Nov 2012 Remote Control 13″ Dalek Strategist – Pictures Continue to fix the rest of the struts starting with front middle one. Now the trial and error bit comes in here. You want the top plate to be as level as possible, so here you can alter the size of the strut using and taping up the tabs which will also help to center the top plate and keep the tube axle straight when it rotates. Finish off fitting the last 2 struts and when the glue is dry, simply use a pair of scissors to trim off any excess cardboard from the strut tabs so everything is flush with the top plate.
