Gel Guard, Omegas henchthings. I copied them shamelessly from a Who fansite showing pictures from the show. Working on Morbius now, Ice Warriors, Mummys/ies? and a heap more Daleks. I am churning these out to reduce the backlog as my painting has become so slow lately. Decided to try speed painting and I am enjoying it. First finished things since my SG1 troopers months ago. Thank you by the way, I like the yeti too.

Painted the 15 orange DWA iDaleks I had in the Victory colours:

Still got 50-odd to do but I'm doing them in a Dalek Civil War scheme similar to Germy's project.

So how do you paint Daleks without goong insane? I have ten old GW ones to paint plus Davros and I am putting them off as it looks really hard.

one colour base coat then very patiently paint in all the baubles? Also whats the best way to do uniform baubles ... brush flat to then and a swipe across or stab with a brush point first?

Any tips would be most welcome.

Last year I also painted a number of Daleks and a Davros figure, and I found out that (for me) the most effective way to paint them is to just get on with it - I did all the baubles one by one, but, surprisingly, it wasn't as nerve-wrecking as I thought it would be. I went for a new series look, and I just painted the Daleks in a dark golden base colour, gave them a quick wash of dark brown, and then did the baubles very patiently in light gold by making a circular motion with a thin brush across the baubles. Because of the wash there is a (in my opinion) nice dark shade between the light golden baubles and the darker basecoat. I then highlighted the upper areas of the dalek to get rid of the dirty look of the wash there.

I'm painting my Imperial Daleks right now (photos soon) and it is just a matter of taking your time and doing a decent job rather than rushing it.  Can't say I'll be in a hurry to do too many more than I have lined up but they'll look good when finished (hopefully).

Somehow I missed this thread. However here is my contribution to the subject so far:


TARDIS: A repaint of an originally silver coloured plastic keyring pendant that is perfectly matching 28mm scale.
Cold War zombie and 1/64 scale Corgi Vanguards Ford Thames Trader shown for scale:



Cult of Skaro repainted plastic Daleks from Doctor Who Collectibles (octagonal bases were cut off).



A bit off topic, but actually intended to be: Jackie Tyler´s tea party from Clearco (or girls from the ´hood)...

Good lord those are some, ah, "chu chu bong bong" ladies, as my wife would say.

@maxxon, I love your Fourth and Sarah Jane there.  They're both nice sculpts (well, one more so than the other, admittedly), and your bright and fun paint jobs do them justice.  Great job on The Scarf.

Also, that is one patriotic looking Dalek ;)

Thanks. I cheated a bit on the scarf, it's only two colors instead of three like the rest of the figure. Also, I should have bothered to check the source material first. The Doctor wears a red jacket in the early episodes with Sarah.

Ironically my TARDIS is the only one of these that has seen gaming use so far:


Most of the Daleks are actually painted by my daughter who I've been trying to get into gaming. She still prefers building doll houses, but we're getting there slowly...


P.S. The Dalek may be related to this guy:

Michi: The windows on that blue box are phenomenal.
Consider that scheme thoroughly stolen!
 :-* :D :-*

And I didnt realise at first viewing that those ladies were all twins.
Great work to individualise them.
