Week 16 #DalekDay #DalekDay16

That’s you all caught up now. I’ll be updating weekly from now on, starting with later today when I assemble the next pieces. Week 16 was nice and complex and resulted in being able to turn the dome electronically. Unfortunately, Pixelfed still hasn’t been updated to be able to upload iPhone videos so you’ll have to do with stills from the one I uploaded elsewhere.

Week 15 #DalekDay #DalekDay15

Last week a cool free gift came with my delivery, this neat little tool set. Model-wise, we’re gearing up to see that dome rotate.

Week 14 #DalekDay #DalekDay14

A couple of weeks ago we received a ninja throwing weapon as part of our subscription. 😂

Week 13 #DalekDay #DalekDay13

Back in week 13 (just a few weeks ago) another teeny tiny, incredibly intricate cog motor arrived and went inside this casing. What could it be for…? 🤔 (Now Pixelfed needs to sort out the issue with iPhone videos because these cogs are a wonder when activated!)

Week 12 #DalekDay #DalekDay12

Almost caught up, just a few more to go. Back in week 12 a little glimpse into the complexities of this model with the installation of the first circuit board.

Week 11 #DalekDay #DalekDay11

Back in week 11 it was time to install this really intricate little motor with its several teeny tiny cogs. It’ll be used to move the Dalek’s eye stalk up and down smoothly. (Unfortunately Pixelfed won’t allow me to upload the video from my iPhone, hope they get this fixed soon.)

Week 10 #DalekDay #DalekDay10

Week 10 was an exciting one! Thanks to this week my Dalek could now keep it up by themselves. Their eyestalk! Minds out of the gutter, people. And the dome is complete and looking great!

Week 9 #DalekDay #DalekDay9

Weirdly week 9 had us unscrew some parts to put washers in before putting it back together. Maybe doing this in the earliest weeks would’ve put people off. That and the back of its noggin’ in week 9.

Week 8 #DalekDay #DalekDay8

Back at week 8 and it was a thrill to get the dome looking like this from the front at last!

Week 7 #DalekDay #DalekDay7

Week 7 saw me finish the second light fixture and add some more of the gorgeous metal plating.

Week 6 #DalekDay #DalekDay6

Week 6 was pretty basic, with another metal panel and part of the light fixture. But it did come with the first binder and the answer as to why the magazines have these funky staples! What a neat idea!

Week 5 #DalekDay #DalekDay5

I’ve completed week 13 but still getting caught up on Pixelfed. What the Dalek looked like at this stage, then swipe through to see the build and back to the beginning to see the finished product so far again 👍

Week 4 #DalekDay #DalekDay4

Still catching up on the 12 weeks I’ve been doing this on Ins****am, week four really got me excited. “I’m building a Dalek!” 😁

Week 3 #DalekDay #DalekDay3

Still catching up showing what I’ve done so far on Pixelfed. I’m on week 12 so still a ways to go. This is how it looked after the third week.
