A moment of true Genius is something to behold. 48 Nodules per Dalek. 60 Daleks. Total Nodules 2880.
Started painting the first one, then had one of those eureka moments.

Enjoy my first video upload   8)

Necessity is the mother of invention! I started painting the nodules by hand and after the 4th Dalek realised I would not get it finished in time. The gold Daleks were easier to paint because the Nodules were just a lighter colour to the main body. So you didn't notice the bits I'd missed.
But these with Black on grey needed something else. Managed to paint nearly 3000 nodules in one sitting.

Believe me when I say no one is happier than me right now for discovering this!  :D

That's the cleverest painting tip I've seen in ages . I will definitely try that one myself .

That really is a fantastic idea, just like everyone else has said. I just tried it for myself and it works really well! Thank you for solving this problem.  :)

Thanks to the new Germy Dalek Nodule Painter (TM)  ;)
The Renegade Daleks are done except for the bases.


Started on some scenery elements as well.
Some old Robogear? plastic terrain to act as a plot device/objective.


And finally an oversized Dalek for a neat looking statue, all hail the Dalek Empire!

Give this man a Knighthood, I say!

Absolute bl**dy genius!

At this new rate of progress, we will be seeing the AAR soon! ;)

Kudos, Sir Germy! 8) 8) 8) 8)
