The Daleks try to destroy Catmas every year even though they are no match for Ollie and his brother Rocket. I don't know why they even bother!

I saw this on a large local building site and just had to think of "daleks"! These things really worried me as a kid when I watched Dr. Who on the BBC.

Spider Dalek:
A digital build that I've been meaning to make physically for a while now. I love the concept of the Spider Daleks, it's such a unique variant in comparison to the standard Dalek.
I've always been intruiged by the original Daleks from their first two stories.
I have two basic theories regarding these guys:
Theory #1) These Daleks were not created by Davros. They are actual "natural" Kaled mutants who survived the destruction of the Kaled's domed city seen in "Genesis of the Daleks". It seems to me entirely plausible that there would have been survivors considering the fact that the Kaleds and Thals were at war for a thousand years, they should've had an extensive network of underground bomb shelters beneath their city. When the Thals fired their missile, some of the citizens, especially the government types, should've been able to make it to these shelters. Also, we know that the weapons used were neutron weapons, which leaves buildings intact but delivers a lethal does of radiation to an area. After the missile penetrated the outer dome and released it's radiation, I believe that most of the city inside the dome would've survived and that this is the same city we see in "the Dead Planet".
The Daleks seen in that story were living in the aforementioned network of bomb shelter tunnels the Kaleds built. I propose that the radiation from the Thal missile acelerated the mutations among the survivors to the point where they adopted Davros' Dalek travel machine designs in order to survive. The shame they feel about their mutated state made them bitter and angry and accounts for the "evilness" of this group of Daleks. Perhaps they hate and seek to destroy anything that reminds them of their old humanoid forms out a sense of self-loathing? Since the Scientific Elite were overseen by a government committee, and a neutron bomb would've left buildings intact, it isn't difficult for me to believe that there may've been blueprints of the Dalek casings in the city and that some government types who were aware of Davros' experiments would've survived and decided to use them.
The fact that these early Daleks used static electricity from the floor of the city as a power source may've been due to them only having access to an earlier, more primitive set of Dalek designs (Mark II Travel Machines?) or simply a conscious choice. Perhaps the cars in the city were powered via static electricity and they found it more practical to simply convert the Dalek casings to run off of the existing power grid rather than try and manufacture separate power supplies for each casing, which may've been impossible with their limited resources? Or perhaps these mutants were simply larger than the ones created by Davros and they needed extra room in the casing that was being taken up by the casing's power supply?
With Skaro an irradiated wasteland whose resources had been bled dry by a millenium of unending war, these Daleks set out to seek out new worlds to colonize, having come up with the "satellite dish" on the back system to beam power to Daleks who needed to leave the city confines. The main group of Daleks constructed a fleet of saucers and left only a skeleton crew of Dalkes behind in the city on Skaro. In time the Daleks forget about Skaro, which was pretty useless to them, and the Daleks left behind may've even started to devolve and lose some of their scientific knowledge as the best and brightest of their species left for the stars.
These "City Daleks" were then easily defeated by the first Doctor and the Thals, who then occupied the city and took advantage of Dalek science to reach out to the stars. Eventually Davros' original Daleks bust out of the bunker they were sealed in and are driven off world by the Thals. These Daleks then go on to create their own space empire (either wiping out or absorbing into their ranks the earlier group of Daleks who left Skaro ) which is the state of affairs seen in "Planet of the Daleks". The Daleks and Thals continue to war throughout space, until the Daleks eventually drive them from Skaro as seen in "Destiny of the Daleks" and the Daleks then go on to eventually reoccupy the planet until it is destroyed by the 7th Doctor in "Rememberance of the Daleks" or maybe in the Last Great Time War - take your pick.
Theory # 2 ) These Daleks are of the same group created by Davros but for some reason they convert their shells to work off of a centralized static electricity power system while in their city and rely on power being beamed to them from another source for out of city excursions. Perhaps, as is often theorized, the "slats" on the upper part of the Daleks are solar power collectors, then this might account for the change in power supply. Since the first Daleks were buried in a bunker by the 4th Doctor, they would've been unable to recharge themselves while stranded deep underground and therefore had to adapt their casings to run off of the bunker's power generator - thus creating the static electricty system we see in "the Dead Planet".Maybe the Dalek city grows up around the bunker and since all their casings have already been converted to run off of the bunker/city generator, they just keep the system created when they were trapped underground, beaming power to themselves via satellite dish when they need to leave the city, and eventually installing in their saucers mini generators that can broadcast power for when they leave Skaro to conquer the universe. As in my previous theory, the bulk of them leave Skaro to conquer the universe and leave a skeleton crew behind to occupy the city should they ever need to return home. While out trying to conquer the universe, they eventually come to the conclusion (some time after their invasion of Earth obviously) that having power beamed to them from a central power source is a tactical weakness, since all one has to do is destroy that power source to defeat them - so they go back to using Davros' original casing designs.
Before I open up commissions, I really wanted to make something fun for myself. This is only a proto-type, but still so fun!

Doctor Who was a UK television series 1963 - 1989 and 2005 - 2022 and featured the Daleks who wanted to rule the world (Fortunately they couldn’t climb stairs)

This little wooden girl reminded me so much of a matryoshka, but also of a Dr Who dalek! Is it just ME??!
Found her in a box of "stuff" I bought from a small auction in Fayetteville, TN! I had NO idea she was in there!
Forged in the fires of the East Coast underground music scene in the 90s, experimental Hip Hop pioneers, Union City, NJ-based duo Dälek has spent decades carving out a unique niche fusing hardcore Hip Hop, noise and a radical approach to sound. Their brutal sonic temperament pushes rap music’s capacity for noise and protest to some exhilarating conclusions
When I first saw the whisk elements, I knew I would have to use them for a Dalek moc. I updated one of my old builds (based on Xenomurphy's Dalek moc) www.flickr.com/photos/xenomurphy/11025371444/in/photolist...
It looks pretty nice, I'm planning to order some more tan pieces and printed dalek dishes to make a small group of Time War Daleks.
Dalek minifigure, based on this concept art I found in the Internet.
Also, this is my first experience in Blender. The results are pretty satisfying, and probably I will continue using this software instead of asking other people for help :D
Another Big Finish Dalek, same volume/series as the last one, different episode. The Dalek Admiral comes from the episode Jonah, where the Doctor and Bliss are tasked with finding an ancient god under the seas of the planet Uzmal. The Dalek Admiral speaks in almost a whisper, as he sends other Daleks to their deaths in order to defeat the Doctor and the Time Lords.
There aren't any images of the Dalek Admiral, so I was free to come up with something completely new. I tried incorporating an admirals uniform into the design, the gold bits on the side representing epaulettes. He did have a white dome, but I changed my mind last minute and just made him all blue with a black mid-section.
He's also got what I think of as stabilisers on the sides of the skirt, to give him a little bit of help when he's navigating his submarine. Alternatively, another idea I had was that he was locked into a sort of Captains chair type position, so if the ship goes down, he has no choice but to go down with it. So in that case, the bits at the side are clamps to keep him anchored in.
He's also got a life ring around his neck. Doesn't really serve any purpose, just wanted to make him look a bit different.
This acrylic paperweight has a stamp that was part of a commemeration of the UK TV series "Doctor Who".
The stamp depicts the creation of Terry Nation and are the symbol of evil in the Dr Who universe. Apparently Terry Nation's inspiration (?) for the emotionless, genetically modified monsters were the worst traits of human kind, exampled by the Nazis of WW2..
Although, judging by what is happening globally, the Daleks would well fit in to the 21st Century Earth.
For non-scifi fans, or those that haven't seen the series, here are 2 links that may shed some light;

The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of extremely xenophobic mutants principally portrayed in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who.
They were conceived by writer Terry Nation and first appeared in the 1963 Doctor Who serial The Daleks, in shells designed by Raymond Cusick.
Drawing inspiration from the Nazis, Nation portrayed the Daleks as violent, merciless and pitiless cyborg aliens, completely absent of any emotion other than hate, who demand total conformity to the will of the Dalek with the highest authority and are bent on the conquest of the universe and the extermination of any other forms of life, including other 'impure' Daleks which are deemed inferior for being different to them.
Collectively, they are the greatest enemies of Doctor Who's protagonist, the Time Lord known as "the Doctor".
During the second year of the original Doctor Who programme (1963–1989), the Daleks developed their own form of time travel. In the beginning of the second Doctor Who TV series that debuted in 2005, it was established that the Daleks had engaged in a Time War against the Time Lords that affected much of the universe and altered parts of history.
In the programme's narrative, the planet Skaro suffered a thousand-year war between two societies: the Kaleds and the Thals.
During this time-period, many natives of Skaro became badly mutated by fallout from nuclear weapons and chemical warfare.
The Kaled government believed in genetic purity and swore to "exterminate the Thals" for being inferior. Believing his own society was becoming weak and that it was his duty to create a new master race from the ashes of his people, the Kaled scientist Davros genetically modified several Kaleds into squid-like life-forms he called Daleks, removing "weaknesses" such as mercy and sympathy while increasing aggression and survival-instinct.
He then integrated them with tank-like robotic shells equipped with advanced technology based on the same life-support system he himself used since being burned and blinded by a nuclear attack. His creations became intent on dominating the universe by enslaving or purging all "inferior" non-Dalek life.
The Daleks are the show's most popular and famous villains and their returns to the series over the decades have often gained media attention. Their frequent declaration "Exterminate!" has become common usage.
By the Brian Clough statue. Shame about the van and fencing. The security ready ruined the visual impact of this attraction.
These White Rocks hoodoos remind me of Daleks from the Dr. Who TV series. Those Daleks are resilient and always return, even after they were seemingly destroyed.
Exterminate !
Not all monsters look like this. The most frightening are the monsters that are in human form. Daleks are without mercy and will exterminate everything and everyone to win their goal. Watching the news I can see such merciless killing and destruction in an insatiable appetite and desire for possession and power.
