"Supreme?"
"Yes?"
"Are these walls shiny enough?"
"No! Shinier! Shinier!"
"Very well."
"Exterminate germs!"
DALEK CLEANER: 100% EFFECTIVE!
(warning: you may not have any walls if you use too much dalek cleaner as laser beams can be destructive)

There is no way you could relase some of your original custom dalek models for other's usage in blender??(no profit of course)

Fantastic work!
I love seeing new takes on the original "concept art" Dalek.

Me too, which I suppose explains why I made this! It's great to be able to make 'physical' a little glimpse into alternative time, as it were...

Wretched Time War Dalek? Your Empire Era Dalek is exactly the same except with different colours.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
..........NO IT BLASTED WELL ISN'T.
I'm sorry, but since I spent WEEKS refining it, I can tell you that it is NOT exactly the same, not be a long shot. In fact, the ONLY things that are identical are the dimensions of the skirt and the neck bin.
1) The fender is narrower and has a slightly different height
2) The seals around the bumps have a different design
3) The shoulders have the same overall dimensions but they lack the detailing around the arm boxes and the inset 'second ring' in the middle - there is also a narrow 'seam' running around them just below the neck and the sunken depression at the front is an oval, not a trapezium.
4) The slats are connected to a collar as they were on the original design, have a different shape and design and the number of them is different
5) The neck rings have a different shape and size, and the rods are rounded rather than square.
6) The dome does not have the same lines through it, nor the same 'cut-outs'
7) The cowl is completely different both is dimensions and shape, without the smooth transition of the Time War Dalek's or the insignia window.
8) The lights are different, with a base on the cage that is modeled after a feature of the Daleks seen in 'Power' and 'Evil' and lightbulbs patterned after the original ones from 'The Daleks'
9) The eye is a different shape, and the eye rings have been mucked about with.
10) The gun has different details and dimensions
11) As does the sucker.
When I say I have not included a Time War Dalek in a picture, I blasted well mean it. The point of these designs was to build Daleks from previous eras of the show using the shape and style of the New Series/Time War Dalek. But each and every one has differences beyond the colours, even if they are relatively minor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But if you're making them new series then that means you're using the TWD as a base or w/e (not gonna be too specific with terminology), and that would preclude your use of 'wretched' to describe them, wretched implying you hate the TWD design, which is surprising since you did a whole bunch of Dalek models based on them in your Instruments of War section.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
....I was joking. Seriously, I was joking. I'm usually quite flippant in my comments and this was no exception.
And anyway, it was wretched as in 'oh blast, I knew there was one I'd forgotten', not as in 'Grrr HATE'.
And that still does not make my Empire version 'the Time War Dalek in different colours'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No emotes means it's not obvious.
And to the casual observer the Empire one is the TWD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know what? You're right. I tried it at work. To the very casual observer with no interest in Daleks, my Empire model looks like the Time War Dalek. Of course it does. To the casual observer, every single Dalek ever made looks the same except for colours. Oh, except the New Paradigm, naturally. And yet despite that, there are considerable differences in the Dalek design every other story. Differences that are blindingly obvious to anyone who looks at them side by side for any length of time.
You took the time to post. That means you had the time to open a new browser window, type 'dalek' into Google and click on the first shot of a New Series Dalek, then compare that to my picture. Which should have shown you, for a start, that my Empire model's shoulders do not look like an NSD's, having as they do a different number of slats, an oval rather than trapezoid cut out and a completely different style of slats.
I wouldn't be so hacked off about that if it wasn't for the way in which your comment was phrased. See, the thing is, you posted, 'Your Empire Era Dalek is exactly the same except with different colours.' Not 'Isn't your Empire Era Dalek exactly the same with different colours?' Not 'Your Empire Era Dalek looks exactly the same except with different colours'. 'Your Empire Era Dalek *is* exactly the same except with different colours.' That is a statement. You stated as fact something that is plain wrong without, I can only assume, checking to see whether you were right. And I find that irritating. If nothing else, it sounds like you think I'm an idiot who can't tell the differences between two designs.
As for no emoticons obscuring my meaning...well, no one else seems to think I dislike the New Series design. And I have just exported elements of it back through the history of the Dalek design. So...yeah.

Mmmhmm. Just like you say Steven Moffat's NDP Daleks DO suck. They ARE bad. Everyone states their opinions and views as facts. I like Daleks, and to me the Empire one looked the same. It still does. You mentioned a bunch of littler details that are different, and I accept that (since I'm not going to take the time to play I Spy on the things), but I really don't see too many differences at a glance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. Sorry, no you don't get that one.
For a start, I have never said they suck. Not. Once. I have picked out things I find irritating about them, sure. I have stated that certain colours are unthreatening, yes. But I have never stated as fact that they ARE a bad design. Hells bells, I've gone so far as to say that it is a good design that wouldn't look in any way bad if it weren't for the fact that they followed the tank-like New Series design.
Second, saying that my Empire Dalek is exactly the same as the New Series Dalek is not an opinion, it is a statement, like grass is green, the sky is blue and this cup is the same as that cup. If it was your opinion, you should have said something like 'I think it looks like...' You did not. Which, incidentally, obscures the intent of your post as much as not putting silly cartoon faces after my not-entire-serious statements obscures the intent of mine.
Third: not everyone states their opinions as facts. I studied philosophy and history, two subjects where it is practically a capital offense to state an opinion as fact. YOU seem to state your opinions as fact. Kindly do not assume that this is a universal truth or that is in any way a positive characteristic. I try very hard to caveat my opinions where I state them as a result. If I fail to do so, fine. Assume from now on that every time I express a view on something without providing full detailed reasons why it is a universal truth, I am expressing an opinion.

Or you could shut up and stop being so sensitive. I really don't care whether or not it's the same. You took it as an insult, well that's your problem.
And no I never state my opinions as facts, not in serious discussion (of which I don't consider this). I make an effort to get people to state their opinions as facts. However I've seen it so much that I no longer take offense to it. I suggest you do the same.

Dunno why I said 'preclude', I had the word in my head and apparently it slipped out.

Isn't the Mk 1 based on one of those concept sketches?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is. Ray Cusick's original sketches of a 'pillar box' Dalek.
Changed, I guess, to allow an actor to move his legs about inside!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
is the Mark 2 an original design? And the Mark 3 isn't exactly right, the Mark 3 in Genesis was the standard Dalek design.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the Mark 2 is made up, though it's based heavily on the Daleks that appear on the front of 'The Dalek Book' in the 60s.
And it would save an awful lot of time and annoy me much less if you went and read my comments on some of my other pictures before telling me what I've done wrong. With the Mk3, as I think I wrote in my original WIP shots and the turnaround picture of this design, I set out to produce something that better fitted the statement 'primitive but undeniably a Dalek'. Because a lot of people over the years have complained that the Daleks we got on screen in Genesis were just the standard Dalek, with no real effort made to make them look like prototypes (because that would have cost money, something classic Who rarely had in abundence).
And besides which, when have I ever suggested that I give a damn about screen accuracy in these designs?

You also didnt include the Death To The Daleks type. great pic though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is true. I'm not entirely certain what to do about that one. It's pretty unique as Dalek colour schemes go, but the design itself is the standard 70s-80s Dalek. The gunsticks are obviously an exception, though, so I might do my 'Planet' Dalek up in something like those colours and whip up a 'peashooter' for it.
(Btw, sorry I didn't reply sooner, I managed to accidentally delete the comment from my message page!)

Finally the phrase "Evolution of the Daleks" won't be sullied by memories of that execrable episode... I like it. A lot.
(I still really like the clunky Soviet design Mk 1 Travel Machine too... I can almost imagine some hapless 1960s stage hand tottering about in a balsa wood and cardboard version, fighting with every step to get it to at least face in vaguely the right direction...)

I seem to be the only person on the internet to find Evolution Of The Daleks scary. When I first saw that, with the dalek hybrid coming out of dalek Sec's casing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That is a wonderful image. It's little wonder the Daleks ended up the shape they did. Can you imagine trying to move a pillar box about from the inside? It might be dynamic and powerful looking but I'm fairly certain the only reason they settled on the 'prow' shape is to give the poor operators some leg room!
Glad you approve!

When you see that , you know you have about 0.00000001 seconds to go before being exterminated.

Nah...0.1 seconds at best. They'll all be arguing about whose a pure Dalek and whose not, so it'll take that long for them to notice you.

-after my apparently ill-timed comment a.l.a imperial dalek dimensions, the one(s) in this pic are BANG on, and may be the first render I saw that made them look right. That modified steeper base must be a pain to get looking right.
I second the above request - that 5 docs dalek was always a fav of mine: as a 5-year old I had HORRID nightmares being chased through a mirror maze by a dalek (which is what it looked like to me watching as a kid - I guess it was more of a polished metal corridor). Can you post a pic of him? Sadly on screen he was looking a little worse for the wear but the color scheme rocked. 'Remembrance' took it and did it better with the Renegades.
Awesome pic, as always! And you've done a good job of unravelling dalek history and assigning screen-accurate color schemes too!

The funniest thing about this? It's exactly the same model! Nothing changed except the perspective. And I really need to work out why the hemisphere rims are going jagged where they meet the shell...
I did plan on adapting the 'Planet' model for use as a Renegade...so watch this space!

Request: Could you make a pic from "The Five Doctors"?
The bit were a dalek fires his gun in an inclosed space.
The background you used in this one remined me of it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why not? Yes, I will. Not sure if I'll be able to get the gun effect right but the mirror maze shouldn't be too hard. I'll see what I can do!

Yeah, why? out of all of them, the Time War ones are my favourites.
Y U NO INCLUDE EPIC DALEKS?!?! *meme face*

Because I haven't got a decent Time War Dalek model built yet! I'll get that done this evening, I think...
