Ok, once i finished my dalek friend here, i will try and start a tardis, but i remember  that there is a tardis model out there, i think ended up in Homeworld 2 and there are a few to download and convert.

Its a holdover from the early days when the bbc props department didnt have a lot of money or ideas.

this (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Manipulator_arm) is not a bad explanation in universe

 here's a bit on the darleks in general (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Darlek)

I'm confused how headdie has (twice?) managed to misspell D-A-L-E-K even though it's spelled correctly several times on this page, and even on the page he linked to it's spelled correctly. There's no "R".

And also why anyone even bothered to make "Darlek" redirect to "Dalek" on that wiki.

For some reason alot of people seem to spell it Darlek and not Dalek.

i fall under the category of lazy spell it how you say it and to me it sounds like there should be an r in there

nice work by the way

The new Doctor calls them "Darleks" :blah:

It's probably similar to why I keep spelling "Cyclons."
BTW, that's a fine looking robo/cyborg beast thing there.
