Thanks for the kind words everyone and glad you've enjoyed it. Yep, like everyone else who's seen them I recall seeing them at the seaside often at the end of piers.

My latest 3d/wood crossover isn't a dalek but it is retro :)

Plus as it's reasonably small, it's something any one could make. Though I can't show anyone yet as it's been created for a show which raises money for a community arts programme. Obviously I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone there, but once it's in the wild, there'll be a tutorial here.
All I will say it uses some software that dates back to the days of 3dcommune :)

As for what to make if I ever had the chance, the time and the cash :), it would have to be a lifesized SHADO mobile. Yep the one from Gerry Anderson's UFO. Though it would have to be based on the Dinky Toy, with a working missile launcher and the incorrect green paint job ;) With that it could even be possible to use a 3D model as the source material, because Anthony Appleyard once released a poser version.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
