This one will be a first for smf as i don't think any one has built one.


The kit dates from the 90s and did not last long there are a couple of bits missing but easy to replicate. The color will be gold and black. So heres what the parts looks like View attachment 114024

Nice. If you wanted a Mk I do not put the strips on the mesh on the shoulders. It is a bit confusing as when they first appeared with William Harnell they did not have the shoulder strips, but in the adventure Genisis of the Daleks, with Tom Baker, they had the shoulder strips!

I see you have a cat... How do daleks and cats get on? I hope it doesn't exterminate any of your models? I'd be paranoid
