Mercy, I remember a time when there was only one Dalek available for Poser, one based upon the geometry modeled by James "Tobor" Murphy. This was during the days of Poser 4. The person who converted and rigged it did not consider the need to "split" selected edges. Because Poser 4 had an automatic smoothing formula that could not be overridden within the program, the "skirt" of the Dalek looked more like the smooth surface of a cone. But then talented people like Billy-Home, MechMaster and our "man of the hour", Sam Therapy, came along and created their own meshes, ones intended for Poser from the start. They've freely shared both "canon" and "interpretive" designs. Honestly, with Sam's various "switching geometry" versions, one could hundreds of travel machines in a scene with no two being identical (assuming the PC and Poser could handle the load).

I see one of the "pepperpots" in the "lineup" above appears to be a "special weapons" unit. That is, it possesses a single BFG (big freakin' gun) instead of a plunger (or claw) arm and a normal sized gun stick. BTW, did anyone notice the special weapons Dalek in "The Witch's Familiar" could talk? Some fans assumed from the lack of "ranting" in "Remembrance of the Daleks" maybe they were mute. I guess not. ;-)

Sincerely,

Bill
