Dalek Storm

Further to the relevation of the new heavily armoured Dalek seen parading around Sheffield station, I bring you new news on this awesome beasty. It is Dalek Storm (Special Tactical Operations Radioactive Mutant), a fan built project based on sketches done by Rocky Marshall in the 80s after disappointment with the red "Supreme Dalek" on the show.

Alan Clark, who hails from Stanley, near Wakefield in our very own sunny Yorkshire, built Dalek Storm from wood and an old electric wheelchair. It's fully mobile, complete with water cannons, neon lights and the obligatory voice-changer for EX-TER-MI-NATING hapless pedestrians.

Sadly, as this is a fan project, it'll likely never appear on the show or, much to my dismay, as a radio controlled toy. Looks like I'm going to have to be as resourceful as Mr Clark if I ever want one.

The photos in this post are from the Dalek Storm Facebook group. Have a look for loads more pics.

Might Morphin' Power Daleks

If, like me, you were disappointed with last week's Dalek revelation, you might be in for a pleasant surprise. The new Daleks initially looked pretty impressive. The first thing I thought was "Wow! Giant Daleks!" Then I got a good view at the whole set of primary coloured death machines and thought "They're a bit ... erm ..."

So yes, a new revelation. For some reason that to this day remains a mystery, the Daleks invaded Sheffield train station yesterday morning. Sadly I couldn't get down there for a look, but a friend of ours who works nearby took a camera. What greeted him was this:



Is that not the most awesome Dalek variant you've ever seen? I can't wait 'til they make an appearance on the show. Also, 'til the radio controlled toy version comes out. Hey, I have to indulge my inner nerd!
