Another bloody convention I've been turned down for. Excluding that Sontaran filming I did I haven't done a proper convention with Dominic since either July or June. That's 3-4 months!

Come on people! I'll exterminate humans for food!

Another day of filming with Confused Adipose for Echo's Destiny, although this time it was more Sontaran shoot than it was Dalek, Dominic was playing the role of extra lol. But any and all Dalek business will be shown off here, and it's a good way of showing off my Sontaran costume which you could also hire out for your events if you so wished.

While Dominic was out for repairs and I was off doing other things, I sent Dutch VanderDalek out on his first solo mission, along with Cyber Stan, (canon name).

James Hatcher took them to a local fayre and they seemed to have a fun day, even if Dutch's eyestalk is, (much like most of him) falling apart.

Few weeks ago I took part in Totton and Eling Carnival

Perhaps one of the more interesting days out I've had, it was very wet to begin with but thankfully cleared up when we actually got started.

I tried swapping out Dominic's wheels for bigger ones that could handle the terrain better, this worked... Until it didn't. We did it sloppily so the wheels collapsed when they got stuck in the train tracks, of all places.

Luckily someone was there to capture the moment lol. It put Dominic out of action while we refitted the older wheels, but he's all well and good now. We didn't make it to the end, but we got close.

I'm sorry for not updating the page in a while, I've got three events to catch you all up on.

Port Solent Comic Con, wasn't what I was expecting and we had some props who couldn't make it, but I made the most of the day and had a lot of fun. Got some AMAZING photos to, the Daleks at sea!

Quick little promo for my next event on the 8th June. I'm rallying the troops again for this one so should be able to meet the Daleks of Hampshire again.

This one is a completely free event which is the first time I think I've worked on something like this, so if you have the means to get there, why not come down and take a look, you'll have as much fun experiencing the event as I do working it!

Took on Southampton Comic Con today and what a day it was! Met Jo Martin who's absolutely lovely, James Hatcher wore the Cyberman costume I've put together and made a great impression to the public, met mates, and made people happy. Love these days!

First batch of photos here, waiting for more from more sources. Videos to follow.

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.

Remember to book your tickets to Gosport Comic Con this Sunday! Once again hosted by the lovely people at Vanguard Comics and held at Thorngate Hall, this lovely event will feature celebrities, photo ops, stalls and various nerdy props and costumes, including 5 Dalek props. Both Dominic and Dutch will be in attendance along with Jay Groovara's Dalek Zarg and new series variant with John C Bullas's Renegade Dalek rounding out the cast.

Gonna be lots of fun so definitely consider going!

Nerd Night Vlog is up now on my YouTube Channel

Last Friday I once again worked on Nerd Night, an event, (that seems to be an annual thing now) put on by the Doctor Who Society of Wi******er Uni, of which I am a proud member!

Had an absolute blast! Rarely do you ever see a Dalek hit the dance floor, but Dominic has got the moves!

It was also Dalek Dutch's first time attending any event, as well as being the first event of the year. I'm so proud of Dutch VanderDalek, he may have only been a static prop but we threaded some lights into him and he looked amazing! Especially next to his half brother.

Can't wait for the next one!

Took a while to get a hold of them, but I have more photos from the event that took place on Doctor Who's 60th birthday, the one I sadly couldn't attend.

Some really good stuff here, credit to Steven D Purnell for taking the photos, Julian Gabriel Clarke for being a model, and John C Bullas for bringing the second prop along!

Oh, and Vanguard Comics who held the event.
