So this gave me carte blanch to do what I wanted... so I took a step back and thought: these Daleks will be different from our Daleks, but how different? Then I knew the answer... them! The cursed abominations from 2010... the New Paradigm! May their shells be blighted!
But what to do to make them a bit less... cuddly.
I bought a Drone and a yellow one loose and swapped out their eyes and arms for those from Ironsides. I cut the eye-stalk down so it was a bit shorter and added some rings at the base. Once completed a clear lens will be tinted green and fitted to the eye ball.
I cut off the lights and added mounts for new lights, to be added from LEDs.
I also added some small sensors to the dome in an R2D2 kind of style.
The shoulders received small lights to the annoying vertical parts as well as a small panel between the arms which will have a small power light.
On the back of the skirt I added a grille and some sockets and greebles. I have more greebles (sockets and plugs) to add to the shoulders, but not too many.
I have built new guns from Gundam Option Parts and the discs from the NP Dalek eyes. I still have some support struts to add as well as a plug to fit them to the Daleks.
Here is where I'm at so far...
So they are about 85% finished as far as construction goes.
For their colour I am going with a gunmetal grey colour, with details picked out. Why that colour? Well all of the artwork for the Daleks from our universe show them in classic silver/blue colours, so in reference to Alby's afore-mentioned repaint remark they will be a different colour.
More updates to follow.
