Drew writes "The quarter-scale dalek I was working on (which I mentioned in a previous Make blog comment) is now complete. I've included a build log with plenty of in-progress pictures and a parts list in case you want to make your own. This dalek is a one-quarter scale model of the popular race of villanous mutants from Dr. Who. (Although daleks resemble robots, they are actually biological creatures inside an armored shell.) The model has no moving parts (otherwise it would be an action figure). It is about 15 inches (38.1cm) high. It is composed of foamboard, wood, aluminum, and other materials." Link.
