discussion Sevan's 1\5 Movie Dalek,Daleks invasion of earth 2150

[peterairfix]

I couldn't wait to start this one it's basically the same as a TV Daleks build but with the bigger movie base,claw and the larger dome lights.
Here's what I got in the box.View attachment 313435View attachment 313436View attachment 313437View attachment 313438View attachment 313439View attachment 313440View attachment 313441View attachment 313442

Well I've just pulled up a chair for this one Peter.

Love the Dalek's definitely one to watch

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm in.

Daleks terrified me as a kid, until I realised they couldn't get up the stairs.

I'm in. :smiling3:

Daleks terrified me as a kid, until I realised they couldn't get up the stairs.

And then they could :smiling2::smiling2:

 

[Mr Bowcat]

That's Ok, by the time they could I was grown up and got my firearms licence.

Any dalek that comes up my stairs now is going to get a face full of 7.62 FMJ.

Hi Peter
You certainly like variety - Bullfinches to Daleks. I remember them on TV as a child - stuff of nightmares back then.

First part of the build will be the eye stalk claw and the gun all of which need filling sanding and seem marks removing.

It's started, getting ready to run behind the sofa.

 

[peterairfix]

First part of the construction is to separate the three pieces two of which for the top and bottom of the skirt sectionView attachment 313618View attachment 313619View attachment 313620

Serious kit this, a bit like assisted scratchbuilding rather than kit building. Nice challenge to have, needs lots of techniques so will be fun....

 

[SimonT]

oh, vac formed bits - don't tend to see much of them anymore

As Tim says, more like scratch building

1/5 should make it a reasonable size - should be good

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
Vacuum molded parts are often awkward to work with. Your cutting looks neat :thumb2:

Next up I will be starting to construct the skirt section but before that there is a couple of things to attend first one is every hemisphere has a small dimple that has the go and the next is every panel has to be given an angel on each edge and all of them will have to be filled.
I did find a bit of mismoulding on one corner of the base but as this piece won't be used I won't matterView attachment 313761View attachment 313762View attachment 313763View attachment 313764View attachment 313765View attachment 313766

Nice work so far Peter.

 

[peterairfix]

Here's yesterday's bit of work I have finished and filled any gaps in the skirt section and detached the TV base cleaned up and attached it to the film base.View attachment 313894View attachment 313895

 

[papa 695]

Looking good Peter, that will be a fair size when completed

 

[peterairfix]

Time to tart on the mid section and I have completed the sections marked A,B,C and here's the results.
The chrome on the lower band is stick on supplied with the kit.View attachment 314039View attachment 314040View attachment 314041View attachment 314042View attachment 314043View attachment 314045View attachment 314046
