About this deal

Similar to the previous step, cut out 5 more lengths of corrugated cardboard around 30cm's, then using a ruler of short length of wood, make 5 folds down the length of the cardboard, then glue together to form a square rod. What I did next was to wrap the finished rods in a couple of lengths of duct tape for some added reinforcement.

The attention to detail is nothing short of crazy (but then Character Option have a habit of going that extra mile). Even before you switch it on (and hear the sounds and see how many different lighting effects it has) it looks like a work of art. This fully functional radio controlled Dalek Ironside has full 360 degree movement control, a built in infrared combat system which allows you to use two Daleks… 76 8 Jul 2010 Character Infrared Battle Radio Controlled Dalek

What was need to be done now was to create some kind of support frame to take the weight of the body, chest, head and mechanisms. I had to keep the overall weight of the Darlek build down, simply because the tank was kinda old and after some testing, found out that it couldn't take too much weight, as it would not turn properly and the cogs connected to the drive motors would start to slip and make a nasty grinding noise. Not cool. I will give steps on how I made this frame, but there is probably a better, neater way of doing so.

The base bumper. Using some more PVC foam, cut out some strips about 4cm's wide and long enough to go around the entire base of the Dalek. I didn't have any foam long enough to go all the way around in 1 peace, so I had to use 2 shorter lengths per layer. Cut enough to make 3 layers to make the complete bumper. 1 layer at a time, pipe some grab adhesive down the center length of one side of the foam, and apply to the sides of the base under the skirt panels, gently squeezing it on, insuring it is straight all the way around. You will have a few minutes to do this before the adhesive begins to set. Do the same to the 2nd and 3rd layers waiting about 1/2 hour between layers. The foam is light enough so it shouldn't slip down. Weapons panel details. The pizza boxes I used to fix the half spheres to, had a healthy coat of shiny gold paint. Shame to waste it, so with a craft knife, I cut out a small section and then very carefully cut the corrugate off to leave a thin sheet of card. I then cut out two 3 x 3cm squares and a 5 x 2cm rectangle. With the craft knife, I cut out two circles in the square cut outs the same circumference as the weapons, and a smaller rectangle in the 5 x 2cm peace, enough for the 4 LED's to fit inside. Then I simply super glued them in place. Done. Remote Control Blue 13″ Dalek Strategist. This item is currently available in some B&M stores. Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped… 99 3 Aug 2012 Remote Control 13″ Dalek Eternal – Pictures The motor for the eye peace had its own circuit board as I mentioned earlier. To house this, I made a small cardboard compartment and glued it to the top base of the skirt section, close to the weapons panel and away from the center axle. 2 wires came from the p/c board that attached to the motor. The motor will sit above the chest section. To finish the head off, and to add some much needed stability, grab a peace of cardboard, lay on the work surface and place the head on top. Draw around the head on to the cardboard and cut out a cardboard disk. You will now need to cut out an inner circle to make a ring, about 3cm deep. Use the ever faithful grab adhesive and pipe some out around the edge of one side of the entire ring. Then place the head on to the ring making sure all around is flush with the ring edge. You will have a good few minutes to get it absolutely perfect before the adhesive begins to set, so don't panic and feel you have to rush this step. It will pay off with the end result.

Grab yourself another peace of corrugated cardboard. You will now want to make similar to what you did for the base plate, only smaller, with different measurements to almost form a hexagon type shape and cutting a hole in the middle for the center tube axle to fit through. Here are the measurements I ended up using. Now you can enter into a series of voice activated modes. To start with let's look at the extensive memory databank that the Dalek carries. To do this you must activate the Dalek by saying: "Dalek." Wait for it to say: "Yes" and then you have to say: "Do you recognise..." (wait for iris stalk to flash) and then say the name of a Doctor Who character or creature. If the Dalek recognises what you say it will tell you something about it. For example, if you say: "The Doctor" it starts ranting about him, or if you say: "The Emperor" it starts to shake as it tells you how powerful he is. Moving on up now, the weapons housing and main chest panel now needs to be done. Lets start with the weapons housing. To help make it clearer, the measurements can also be seen on the in-photo information. When the sides are marked out and your happy that both left and right sides look equal,, cut out the template.
