Interesting.

How exactly did you come up with this idea? Its very interesting but very different from what I imagined...which isn't to say its worse and I hate it. Its just so different lol.

@Sp8d8 Just thought about how I'd design a Dalek. Something that was obviously 'A Dalek' but just designed by someone other than Davros, and yet still based on the fundamental idea - much as the Red Rocket Rising Daleks are.

Oddly, it's not as easy as it sounds. You can do a robot with bumps and arms, but there's a fine line between that and 'A Dalek'.

@Bargie57

Yeah I get what you mean. I still get the feel of 'Dalek' looking at it (I think its the arms moving like the mutant's tentacles).

Are you gonna be doing anything with the model?

[Bargie57]

@Sp8d8 I'm working on animating a few minutes of 'Blood Of The Daleks'. Still learning Cinema4D so it's three steps forward and four back at the moment :) Got my Dalek (RRR variant and 'normal') props built, and now working on a set that doesn't take an age to render.

Even better.

@doctorwho2production - Yeah, it does help if you upload the proper version! :)

interesting redesign, good work

@Sp8d8 Very cool! I know the Daleks are fixated on genetic purity but I wish we could get a Dalek like that in the main series! (Even if it would just be mediocre CGI it would still be a good idea...)

Oh, cool! Now when I listen to "Blood of the Daleks" I'll have this in mind as the Red Rocket Rising Daleks. :D
