Here is the model of the Emporer Dalek from the final episode of the first season of Doctor Who.
Relative to the size on screen it was quite a small model, smaller than an actual Dalek.
Ruined Big Ben
This is the model of Big Ben* used in the filming of Doctor Who.
I thought it was an impressive model and nice to know not everything was CGI.
* I know Big Ben is the name of the bell, but most people still refer to the clock tower as Big Ben!

…not looking too happy in the Doctor Who Exhibition at Brighton Pier.
More digital trickery
Another digitally enhanced image.
The flyer was taken from the same angle and light, its flying base was removed and then a shadow added.
The engines were blurred and a few heat blurrings were also added.
Flyers caught in a storm…
These VTOL aircraft have found themselves in a storm and are looking for a place to land.
More digital trickery, these are GZG models.
Land Raiders on patrol during a storm
More digital trickery…
Land Raiders on patrol on a dark and stormy night. There are original plastic Land Raiders and a Snapdragon 6mm Bunker.
The first attempt was a little different (more harsh lines between the bunker and the sky).
The final version used a feathered edge.
So which one do you prefer?
Dalek coming down the stairs…
alek at the Doctor Who Exhibition coming down the stairs…
The highlight for me (as you might expect) was the Dalek.
Excellent exhibit which was also “animated” and spoke to you…
Feral Ork Airship
A Feral Ork Airship struggles through an electrical storm…
More digital imagery manipulation…
The Moxx of Balhoon
One of the nice things about the exhibition was the use of actual BBC costumes and props.
The Moxx of Balhoon was an alien from episode two.
Having seen previous costumes and props I was impressed with the quality (normally what looks good on TV looks terrible in real life).
Gunwagons on patrol…
These are two Forge World Ork Gunwagons on patrol on my new grassy photographic terrain.
…and here are the same Gunwagons with an Ork Landa.
