Always happy to see more Daleks! I should get some more of my many Daleks from the old Character Building range painted. I've only done 40 or so.

But then I think of all those hemispheres...  o_o

This website called germy has a video explaining how you can get a hollow metal rod, dip it in paint, dry the outside and then use it as a print to paint all the hemispheres.

I've seen that trick, tried it too. Alas, it does not work on these bigger 50mm-odd pepperpots:



A steady hand, thin paint, and a damn good beer afterwards is the only successful formula I've found!  :D

Harry, those look splendid, though I must admit to missing your 54mm collection!  :(

Macross, those are great. Out of curiosity, who makes 50mm Daleks?

I have 7 of these, does anyone have an idea of how to remove the base? I want to give them the same bases the rest of my guys will have then give them all a nice paintjob.

A UK not-Lego company called Character Building Toys. They had a Dr Who license a while ago, and did a line of figures and kits based on the show. Collectables now, I'm afraid.  :?



I used them for a convention game I did for a few years called 'Dominion of the Daleks'

I've always wanted to play one of those Dalek games at conventions, maybe I'll have a chance once all goes back to normal.
