Major Features
The first and simplest of the Dalek designs. The original design sketch can be seen in "The Sixties" and is very close to the finished product. Easily recognised by the lack of the wire mesh and solar panel array around the mid section that features on all the other Daleks in some form. The eye stick with 9 rings appears only in The Daleks and was replaced for Dalek Invasion of Earth with the 5 ring version. The small round 'ears' carried over into the early Type 2 Daleks before being replaced by the more familiar car indicator version. The original gunstick featured support struts for the wire pieces. Obviously the original TV transmissions were in black and white, but still colour photographs show the type 1 livery to be chrome and metallic blue. As far as I am aware there was no colour hierarchy within the Dalek culture during the first Dalek episode, but the Black Dalek appears in 'Invasion of Earth'.
The Daleks from the first film "Dr Who and the Daleks" were modelled on the type 1 but had a mark 2 eye stick and very different ears and bases.
Types of daleks:
The Emperor Dalek
This made a single appearance in Evil of the Daleks and is the end mutation of the Dalek Prime (the first Dalek Davros produced). The Emperor is non mobile, being constantly jacked in to the computers on Skaro.
The Dark Dimensions Special Weapons Dalek
The Dark Dimension was an abortive special planned for the anniversary year which got as far as the first draft of the script and some design work. The design sketch for the Special Weapons Dalek was produced by Alan Marshall, That's as much as I know about it!
The Supreme Council Dalek
Another one hit wonder, appearing in only one story, the Pertwee era 'Planet of the Daleks'. The Dalek was originally one of the Aaru Daleks made by Shawcraft Models for the big screen and was in the possession of Terry Nation. It was loaned by him to the BBC for the production of Planet of the Daleks. As you can see it underwent a major overhaul in the Video Effects Department. The major changes were the yellow and black livery, the new rings around the neck section, the jam jar ears and the torch addition to the eye stick
The Special Weapons Dalek
from Remembrance of the Daleks
One of two specials produced for the final TV appearance of the Daleks, the other being the Emperor Dalek. The original script called for two 'special weapons' Daleks, one was essentially an ordinary Imperial Dalek but with a gun which could fire round corners, the other was a floating gun carriage. The final design by Stuart Brisdon (effects designer for the series) was a Dalek tank, heavily armoured with delicate bits removed and a very large gun added! The prop was built by the effects assistant Dave Becker and weathered to give the impression of having seen lots of action.
In the story, the Special Weapons Dalek is called into play after the initial exchanges have gone the way of the rebel Daleks and its appearance soon turns things to the Imperial Daleks favour.
The Emperor Dalek (aka Davros)
from Remembrance of the Daleks
Based on the Emperor Dalek seen in the comic strips of the sixties and seventies. The spherical head was originally a prop from the show 'Bodymatters'.
The Emperor Dalek is the leader of the Imperial faction and late in the story is revealed to be none other than Davros himself. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT

This is a recreation of the Emperor Dalek's control room from Evil of the Daleks, the second Dalek story of the Troughton era. The emperor Dalek was modelled in Corel CAD from the technical manual plans. The latticework walls were created using Amapi and the whole thing was rendered in trueSpace.
Notes
A scratch built model from the design sketch by Alan Marshall (as seen in ACE!). Most of the modelling was done in Corel CAD, the starting point was the standard Dalek floorplan. I re-engineered the <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=24&k=base%20unit" onmouseover="window.status='base unit'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">base unit[/url] because the traditional Dalek design results in non-planar panels. The twiddly bits were added in TrueSpace SE and this preliminary render produced.
A relatively minor reworking of a Type 2 Dalek model done almost entirely in Truespace.
Modelled from pictures and screen grabs mainly in Corel CAD with bits added in TrueSpace.
This render was produced in TrueSpace SE. I'm in the process of transporting the model to Bryce for further renders.
A recreation of the bridge on the Imperial Mothership from Remembrance of the Daleks. Most of the modelling was done in Corel CAD with finishing touches added in TrueSpace.

THE DALEKS BUY A HOT DOG:
A one-act play
[Two DALEKS, the SUPREME DALEK, and DAVROS trundle toward a hot-dog cart.]
DAVROS
I want a hot dog! Yes! [Clenches fist] With a hot dog I shall achieve ultimate having-hot-dog-ness! THE HOT DOG IS TASTY! I SHALL REVEL IN ITS INFINITE TASTINESS! [Screaming] YES! BRING ME A HOT DOG AND I SHALL CONQUER IT! [Flinging spittle] I SHALL CONQUER!!!!
[DALEK #1 approaches the HOT-DOG VENDOR and waves its plunger in his general direction.]
DALEK #1
The Supreme Dalek! Commands! Purchase of! A hot dog! Comply! Or you will be! Exterminated!
[HOT-DOG VENDOR makes a hot dog.]
HOT-DOG VENDOR
Two dollars.
DALEK #1
I have! No! Two! Dollars!
SUPREME
He! Does not! Give you! The hot dog! He must be! Exterminated!
DALEK #1
I! O! Bey!
[DALEK #1 exterminates the HOT-DOG VENDOR. The hot dog is vaporized.]
DALEK #2
Dalek! You have failed! You must be! Exterminated!
DALEK #1
How can I! Exterminate! If I am! Exterminated!
DALEK #2
Exterminate! Exterminate!
[DALEK #2 exterminates DALEK #1.]
SUPREME
You have exterminated! Without command! Of Supreme Dalek! You must be! Exterminated!
DAVROS
WHERE IS MY HOT DOG???!! There are limitless hot dogs contained in the cart! YOU SHALL NOT EXTERMINATE YOUR DALEK! [Waves fist in air] WE MUST FIRST CONTROL THE HOT-DOG CART!!! WITH THIS POWER I SHALL HAVE HOT DOGS!!!!
SUPREME
You! Have! Exterminated! The creator! Of all Daleks! You must be! Exterminated!
[SUPREME DALEK exterminates DALEK #2. The explosion splatters a squeeze bottle of ketchup, sending drops of ketchup into the SUPREME DALEK's visual sensors.]
SUPREME
I cannot see! My vision is impaired! I cannot see! My vision is impaired! I cannot see!
[The SUPREME DALEK spins in circles on the sidewalk, falls off the curb, and explodes.]

The nation was rocked earlier today when a mutant monstrosity from the planet Skaro was found terrorising innocent civilians at the ABC's Sydney headquarters. Amid the wailing of babies and screams of grown men, the Lab's crack team of robotic technologists were immediately called in to defuse the situation.
The characteristic gliding motion and extendable plunger arm left the lab team in no doubt this was a classic Type 2 Dalek - the only one in captivity!
Even a hottie like the Aircooler 2000 fails to sway the Dalek from its mission of evil.
After containing the Dalek in a class 5 security device, a female air cooler (quite a hottie) was introduced to the enclosure in order to subdue the mutant and allow observation of the previously undocumented Dalek courtship behaviour. Unfortunately, within minutes of introducing the air cooler she was reduced to a smouldering pile of dust. It was immediately clear that this Dalek was hostile. Or gay.
Haven't these guys heard of batteries?
Instantly the team knew that the only hope for avoiding total planetary annihilation - and a nasty mess in the foyer - was to identify and disable the evil beast at its source of power.
In this case, the source of power was a 240 volt plug. Once removed from the powerpoint, the Dalek became less aggressive and the Lab could analyse the superior technology possessed by these alien beings.
Morris Minors across England were hunted down for their indicators by the Daleks.
Closer examination showed Daleks as sophisticated machines, built from exotic materials sourced from all over the galaxy, such as this light from, er, England.
One can only imagine what might have happened to the innocent inhabitants of England after they were conquered by the Daleks. One thing appears certain - their Morris Minors were no longer able to indicate.
Need your drains unplugged? Call 1800 -DALEK.
Daleks are not just about subjugation and extermination as this device clearly shows. Properly functioning plumbing is important to any evil empire and so each Dalek is fitted with an industrial strength, telescopic plunger to unblock even the most blocked drain within minutes.
Intergalactic chickens beware!
As well as tapping the static power that drives the onward march of the Dalek forces, the vertical formation of the solar panel array creates an illusion of height, further adding to it's imposing - and let's not forget evil - appearance.
The antimatter reticulation mesh with its characteristic cross hatch design has protected many a Dalek from enemy fire. It also keeps out pesky space chickens.
Gun barrel damage was sustained during the rigorous dissection process, which involved both #3 and #4 Philips Heads.
The most heinous, fear-inspiring feature of the Dalek is its 28mm gun barrel. More than just an egg whisk with bent prongs, this baby sprays a death ray that leaves it's hapless victims in a pool of screaming agony, the faint echo of "Exterminate! Exterminate!" lingering in the meringue-like atmosphere.
The true face of evil or poor laboratory hygiene? You be the judge.
With the timely popping of several rivets, the Dalekian perimeters were finally infiltrated. The only remaining question was what form the ghastly mutant inhabitor within this transporting device took. But nothing could prepare us for the horror we found within these 13 walls. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT
