Dalek Construction Kit
Year: 1984
Original Price: £11.95
When I opened my Construction Kit I was confronted not so much with a disassembled Dalek, more of a pile of assorted bits of plastic, mesh, paper and wire. With perseverance and a degree in mechanical engineering it was possible to build something that looked something like a Dalek but which on closer inspection bore more relationship to a leaky battleship. The easiest type of Dalek to make was the 'exterminated' Dalek. It is rumoured that the BBC Visual effects department now use the Kit to provide 'detail' on the models for Red Dwarf.
