I did another con today and what a day it has been. I will share the photos and videos later on, but first I think it's time to introduce you all to the gang.
Welcome to the Daleks of Hampshire, (unofficially, but we'll make that group one day!)
5 Daleks from Southampton, Portsmouth and Gosport come together to better exterminate humanity! A very diverse set of Dalek here, all with unique names and interesting back stories. From left to right we have:
Dalek Zog owned by Jay Groovara. A new series inspired casing with additional mesh added between the slats and a double gun stick for twice as much destruction! He is currently a static prop.
Dalek Dutch owned by me, stored in James Hatcher's garage. Mostly a Day of the Daleks Supreme but with red dome lights and a black eyestalk that lacks the pupil. He's the granddad of the group, as he was built in the year 2001 for a Dalek Art Exhibition in Southampton, and was brought by me last September to refurbish. He is currently a static prop.
Dalek Zarg also owned by Jay. A classic design inspired by the 1970s with additional ques from the movie Daleks with the dome lights and claw, topped off with a new series base. This war torn individual has had scratches and scrapes painted into him to simulate the battles he's no doubt fought in. He is a fully operational prop featuring lights and sounds.
Dalek Dominic also owned by me. You all know Dominic, an amalgamation of some of the most well known Dalek designs, taking heavy inspiration from the Paradigm Daleks. He is the only confirmed Supreme Dalek of the group and has attended more events than any of the other Daleks in the group. He is a fully operational prop featuring lights, sounds and a glow on the base.
And finally Dalek AARK owned by John C Bullas. The only one of the five to be a perfect recreation of a screen used Dalek, AARK is built to resemble a Renegade Dalek from Remembrance of the Daleks. He is a fully operational prop featuring lights, sounds, a glow on the base and a motorised skirt section.
