Sevan's 1\5 Movie Dalek,Daleks invasion of earth 2150

I couldn't wait to start this one it's basically the same as a TV Daleks build but with the bigger movie base,claw and the larger dome lights.
Here's what I got in the box.

Well I've just pulled up a chair for this one Peter.

Love the Dalek's definitely one to watch

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm in.

Daleks terrified me as a kid, until I realised they couldn't get up the stairs. :D

Daleks terrified me as a kid, until I realised they couldn't get up the stairs. :D

And then they could

 

[Mr Bowcat]

That's Ok, by the time they could I was grown up and got my firearms licence.

Any dalek that comes up my stairs now is going to get a face full of 7.62 FMJ.

Hi Peter
You certainly like variety - Bullfinches to Daleks. I remember them on TV as a child - stuff of nightmares back then.

First part of the build will be the eye stalk claw and the gun all of which need filling sanding and seem marks removing.

 

[papa 695]

It's started, getting ready to run behind the sofa.

 

[peterairfix]

First part of the construction is to separate the three pieces two of which for the top and bottom of the skirt section

Serious kit this, a bit like assisted scratchbuilding rather than kit building. Nice challenge to have, needs lots of techniques so will be fun....

 

[SimonT]

oh, vac formed bits - don't tend to see much of them anymore

As Tim says, more like scratch building

1/5 should make it a reasonable size - should be good

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
Vacuum molded parts are often awkward to work with. Your cutting looks neat
Jim

Next up I will be starting to construct the skirt section but before that there is a couple of things to attend first one is every hemisphere has a small dimple that has the go and the next is every panel has to be given an angel on each edge and all of them will have to be filled.
I did find a bit of mismoulding on one corner of the base but as this piece won't be used I won't matter

 

[papa 695]

Nice work so far Peter.

 

[peterairfix]

Here's yesterday's bit of work I have finished and filled any gaps in the skirt section and detached the TV base cleaned up and attached it to the film base.

 

[papa 695]

Looking good Peter, that will be a fair size when completed

 

[peterairfix]

Time to tart on the mid section and I have completed the sections marked A,B,C and here's the results.
The chrome on the lower band is stick on supplied with the kit.

 

[peterairfix]

Just finished off with middle section all painted and with the stick chrome on the slats and lower band.
And a test fitting with the skirt section.

 

[papa 695]

Looking very good Peter, coming along very nicely.
