Nice. If you wanted a Mk I do not put the strips on the mesh on the shoulders. It is a bit confusing as when they first appeared with William Harnell they did not have the shoulder strips, but in the adventure Genisis of the Daleks, with Tom Baker, they had the shoulder strips!

Heres where i am at i have got the shoulder and lower body sections finished and including the simple wiring for the dome lights so its just the neck and head to go and this one is in the style of the black dalek from the rememerance of the daleks. And the instructions for the gun are different from my build in keeping with the correct buod
