Base

The base follows the 2nd Movie Dalek base - this is the bit the wheelchair will go in the middle of.

First, cut out the base shape according to the specifications

Cut out the inside of the base to get the shape. The wheelchair would end up in the hole :)

Build up the base sides using blocks

As part of building the base up, Freek tests out whether the operator will get in, assuming that the person body is in the skirt of the dalek, the shoulders in the 'shoulders' and the head in the neck bin - also, this is a good test because the skirt height might need to alter :)

Time to get that curve in place for the base. Start first by marking up the base, followed by the use of making up a 41mm stencil

2 and a half hours later with absolutely tons of sanding, the results are clear and check out the dust!!

Looking great! All done and ready for the skirt construction. Check out the chamfer on it, Darik is going to look awesome!

Still more to come - the base has got to be primed, sprayed, and with the rubber skirting - keep checking back!!
