What if Daleks built a hovertank? (URL) I was messing around with the zen-like 1x1 bricks with studs on five sides when I found I'd made something that looked very much like a Dalek. So I built a bunch of them, in a Davros frame of mind. Then it (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Very nice! I've been trying to figure out a good way to build a minifig scale Dalek myself. I think you've done a great job with them. -Elroy (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) It doesn't suggest "Dalek" to me, but I think it's very cool nonetheless. Your Dalek model is very inspirational, though - I couldn't resist trying out my own variation (minus a suction cup - oops!): (URL) Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks. I tried a few different things for the eyestalk, but I liked the way the peg gave it a big oversized eye with a pupil so you know when the Dalek is looking at you and getting ready to "EXTERMINATE!". K (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I really like the sloped lower skirt! He's a little too tall though. Daleks are shorter than average sized people.

Dalek training exercises. Apparently it is a misconception that you're safe up a flight of stairs. Stairs just make them more determined, and angry! Click "Next" to see the picture sequence. (URL) K (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Nice way to do a Dalek. I recently made one myself, though it's a bit too tall in relation to a minifig. I couldn't quite come up with a way to do the eyeball, but I may try your idea, as well as shortening the eyestalk too. Here's the link to (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

I got tears of laughter comming from my eyes! Baaaaahhhaaaaaaa - LOL! nay, ROTFLMAO!!!! First off, yep that's a mini-fig Dalek, fer sure. Nice! Then the Hover Tank!!!!! Then the Daleks come pouring out from the ship's hull. The control sticks (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

oh, and of course have Scott Lyttle tell you the story about the guy in the Dalek costume that was trying to get down the stair well at DRAGON CON. His foot peeked out from under the skirt at the top step, searching, the rest is well... I was (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I knew that, but I found that the extra stud height allowed me to make it look much more Dalek-like. Frankly I don't think that the height discrepancy matters too much - but then I'm not a fanatical Dr. Who fan :-) Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
