Imperial Daleks

Description

Aaaaaaand we're back to the formless mirrored box. Sorry. Didn't have time to put in a more interesting background.

The main point of this picture (other than Imperial Daleks, because who doesn't like a nice minty-fresh Imperial Dalek?) is to show off my new Imperial Supreme Dalek.

A couple of commenters mentioned that Curse of Davros (a Big Finish play I own but am not overly fond of) featured a Supreme Dalek under Davros' command and that there's an Imperial Dalek prop knocking around in black and gold. This started percolating in my head and I reaised that not only is this all true, 'Supreme Dalek' (as opposed to the more traditional 'Dalek Supreme') is always what Davros calls the red I-can't-believe-this-thing-still-looks-that-ugly Dalek from 'Journey's End'. And while this project has been all about mapping out a possible evolution of different elements of Dalek designs, those great big clamps still come out of nowhere.

Hence, well, this - a Supreme Dalek with prototypes of whatever the heck those lugs are. Bonus inspiration came from the fact that Nick Briggs voiced it in 'Curse' with a nice bit of reverb, suggesting something a little out of the ordinary. Orthos to follow, as per, plus revised orthos for all Imperial Daleks since I messed with the colours again.

Daleks belong to the Terry Nation Estate, these models are mine, hands behind the red silk rope at all times, please.

You know it makes me wonder if the Bronze/Gold Daleks of the revived series were partly inspired by the Imperial Daleks.
