My original model was based mostly on the Daleks as they appeared in “The Power of the Daleks”
(1966). However I have adapted this model to produce variants representing the Daleks as they appeared in
several other Doctor Who adventures. The variants are listed here in chronological order of their
appearance on TV.
Please visit Dalek 6388 for a far more
comprehensive and detailed discussion of the changes that were made to the Dalek props over the
years.
- The Daleks (1963) - This variant has no solar slats, and its dome lights, eye disks and gun
are of a different design to the Power variant. The blocks that the arms stick out of are also slightly
different. It comes in a single colour scheme of silver, light grey and blue.
- The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964) - This variant is basically the same as
“The Daleks” variant, but has different eye disks, an enlarged base and a dish on
its back. (I've put an antenna in the centre of the dish, but in fact only some of the Invasion
Daleks had this; the rest just had a black circle where the antenna should have been, as though
it had been put on and then removed.) In addition to the silver/grey/blue colour scheme used for
“The Daleks” variant, it also comes in colour schemes representing the saucer pilot
Dalek (black dome and alternate black skirt panels) and the Black Dalek. I only have black and
white photographs of the Invasion Daleks to go on, so I've made some deliberately conservative
guesses about the colours.
