Obsessive Dalek fan site
The entire life, transformation and appearance of every Dalek prop ever made!
Gets a bit boring in the middle, not to mention rather excessively involved in speculation at times, but if you have the patience to wade thru it all you learn some fascinating facts, including which parts were re-used by our frugal Beeb for over 20 years, and how some commercial designs were mistakenly based upon rehearsal photos when the Daleks were numbered and tagged using tape and carried this 'design feature' thru to the completed models!
Goes on a bit, from their first appearance right till modern remakes, but it kept me entertained for hours!

That's quite a site!
This completely kills my fear of the Daleks, however :)

Haha!
Aye, if you want them to remain 'Real' then this is not the site for you!
However, if like me you're a geek for 'How It's Done' and behind the scenes and such, very enjoyable!
I never even knew they sat down inside them, and was most amused to discover a lot of the external appearance of screws and bolts was simply due to practical internal workings such as handles to hold onto!
