Tell you what, I'll get a cheap drone and paint it '70s grey. I'll also paint a Time War Dalek grey.
I do like change... when it works.
And I'll repeat what I said before... those are NOT screen-accurate Daleks, they have been redesigned. Mock-ups or not, they aren't NPDs. You can colour them green or pink and they still won't be screen-accurate NPDs.
THIS is:
I used an accurate model and recoloured it. It STILL looks terrible... as menacing as the Nursery Dalek from the 60s.
Nursery Dalek... tremble with fear!!!
That is not an accurate model!

For a start look how much bigger the dome is on your image, it looks silly because it's too large...
If you paint a drone dalek in retro colours i can guarantee you will agree that they should look like that. Well, you'll agree that they look better that way at least.
I like them because they remind me of my all time favourite design of daleks - DIOE
