I think the taller Dalek looks better than "real scale size." Daleks look kind of runty. They need to be taller to be more ominous and imposing.
Nice pick-up. Your Joes need some foes to keep them on their toes.

Oh I definitely agree.. I think that I read somewhere that the Daleks eye stalk was usually set at the eye height of the companion, but I prefer a bigger more menacing Dalek.

It all lights up and says several phrases and makes weapon noises.

It looks incredible scary looking in the dark. I think I’ll go and hide under my Duvet cover now.

Finally happy with my Highlander. Tried all colours of hair, but the obvious choice is this one. All he needs now is a nice wide belt with a good size buckle and a sporran. I think I'm going to have to make the sporran.

Chris my friend you’v done a brilliant Highlander kitbash . The ginger hair and beard, kilt and turtleneck jumper definitely gives him that Highlander look about him. My favourite picture has to be the last one. Chris one thing I must know, is he wearing any blue pants underneath his kilt?

Ah it's nice to get the study back in order it's been a mess for ages A quick mock up with the window. No background outside the window yet. And no external lighting either. It came with fake glass which I've attached to see what the reflections are like. Seems ok. Plus a few of the recent figures that I've been working on....and the ever present Rufus.

Not many people know this, but Rufus is only the head of R&D. Although that encompasses a large staff and resources. The real head of RTHQ is still to be revealed.

Whaaaaat?????
Only now, after all these years, we learn that there is a Higher Authority behind the scenes at RT-HQ????
The study looks really nice with the newly installed window and with things tidied up!

The Urban Squad are slowly progressing. Eventually I want them all on black gloved MAM bodies, but they are proving difficult to find. The fellow on the right will be flocked... I'm waiting until several heads need doing until I send it off. The ginger figure at the back had its neck hollowed out so that it would fit on a VAM body. So to refit it to a MAM body I had to perform a bit of surgery I used an incredibly sharp knife to cut the neck plug out of an unwanted MAM head. This was then heated up in a bowl of boiled water and pushed onto the neck post. After some careful shaving with a sharp knife I then used superglue ( I had originally tried 2 part epoxy but that didn't work ) to attach the head. I made sure to keep moving the head whilst it dried.

There a great looking crew Chris! Hopefully, you won't have too much trouble tracking down some black gloves for the troopers.

Cheers Chip
The rifle is a customised one of these ones (bottom)
It has a shortened and different barrel and an all black paint job with some steel highlights.
