Started on my next big project (over 5′ tall), a 2005 “New Series” Dalek from Doctor Who. This kinda bridges the line between Prop and Cosplay. If all goes well, I might actually be driving around inside it. Otherwise, I am planning on making it be fully remote controlled.

One of the major goals for this project was that I wanted to model all the 3D printable parts for it. I started by getting the plans from the https://www.projectdalek.com/ site (Amazing site for info on building Dalek’s).

After looking over the plans, I decided on starting with doing the “slats” that surround the neck/shoulders. I used Shapr3D for these, and printed up some prototype pieces,
