Yep, Daleks are a lot bigger than people think. (that's a ruddy big garden Gnome you've got there Rob
)
Even this little fella will be nearly three feet high when he's finished - he's build to half size.
It's a WIP that I'm playing with that's going to have more than a little of the Sith about him.
This is the gun I've designed for him (this version is full sized - build a proof of concept)
He's still not got a neck section. The rest of the design will follow the 'guts on the outside' idea and the paint job is going to be based on Slave I. It's taken nearly 2 years to get to this stage. Eventually, I plan on making him radio controlled but the shoulders are getting so heavy that I'll have to cast them in GRP in order to lighten the load for any motors I buy.
