Can you have too many Daleks?

not unless you have one for every Dalek seen in the series if they were all grouped together at once - both classic AND NSD, plus some of the most memorable designs from other people, such as from the web comic "Second Empire".

I have nowhere near that number so will keep collecting yet. My next one may well be reserved for a 2E Dalek, like This or maybe This one.

As to Davros himself, no. Unfortunately I have never found one in this scale of the Davros I wanted (Genesis Davros). Tony did do a resin one of Remebrance Davros, but I never got around to getting one.

Stuart Evans ("Sevans") did a very nice one, but it was more expensive and thermoformed, which at the time put it out of my price and ability range.

Sorry for the long delay in this thread. Unfortunately 2017 was a very trying year for me. I am still in a situation where spray painting is not an option at this time of year due to the weather, but I will be working on the basic construction elements of the first few stages over the next few weeks.

For all those who were following my "Temporal Mechanics" course on the Eaglemoss Delorean from "Back to the Future", I have been continuing the build, and documenting the process, so I now have a load of pictures to convert and post. I am still not completing the engine, as I have still not had the chance to break it down and re-paint some of the parts and fill some of the holes.

I have also dredged up an old Comet Miniatures 1:8 vinyl Patrick Troughton Doctor, and what I believe to be a "Tomb" Cyberman in resin.

I don't know if I can turn this [the Dalek thread] into an entry for the 2018 BOTY or not, and would like a ruling from an admin as I will be starting construction of the Dalek in this thread feom a completely virgin model.

I may, if I can't set this thread up as an entry, add in the other kits to this thread, or I may keep one of them - probably Pat - as an entry in it's own right.

P.S. Tigerace. Comet Miniatures did one in resin, the same 1:8 as their plastic Daleks. They are now "Timeless Hobbies" Found here. They currently don't have one for sale, but might be worth a look.

I am fine with it as long as it’s a fresh start with a new kit and a new thread.

Thank you all for the support.

Yes, it would have been a fair contest with me starting a virgin kit.

However, and in no small part due to the positive response there has been so far, I withdraw the request.

I have other models I can work on which may also give me a great deal of pleasure and the impetus of the competition I was looking for.

I apologise for the trouble I may have already caused to Tomick and those who have already entered the competition, but I will enter something else this year.

[and on a purely selfish note, I have no desire to enter something that anyone could doubt was completely within the rules.]

I look forward to seeing your entry for the competition

Carl

Are you continuing with this one anyway?
Looking forward to seeing this one come together

Unfortunately things went further south since my last post on this subject. Things have basically remained static on most of my builds, or moved backwards. The vast majority of my life and hobbies have been placed in storage. I don't know when I will be able to get back to this, or my pursuit ship build thread, but they are both on my mind and will be resumed as soon as possible. I have not forgotten any of them, and promise to continue once I find them again.

It will probably be easier to get to some of my Dalek kits, so this thread may start up again once the weather improves and I can get spraying again now that I no longer have to go to work every day.
