This current batch features 25 - yes 25! - non-canon models and one canon build. The non-canon models are split into sets of 4, with an extra one for good measure. The canon model is based on the red Supreme from Journey's End.
I'll be uploading them in the next few days, all being well. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the attached renders.

Looking forward to these.
You can never have too many Daleks.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Sam.
They look great, especially the Red Supreme Dalek.

pp ppp ppppp pp ppppp.
(that's Terssian for "thanks for the great Daleks", for those not fluent) My pronunciation may be a bit off, as I clinched a couple of times. Also, somebody might want to open a window, as my Terssian accent is rather strong.

As always, speaking Tersuran will easily clear any room :-P

Just wondering what the word is on these guys. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay; been a bit busy the past few days. I will get some of them packed and uploaded later tonight, so hopefully they'll be available for download soon after.
Thanks for your patience. :)

I've just uploaded 3 packs to the Freestuff server and they are currently waiting approval. In addition to the models mentioned above, I've also built an Imperial and given it 4 colour schemes. Granted, only one - the cream/gold - is canon but I thought you'd all like a bit of choice. Here's a preview of the guy in question.

Packs 2 and 3 are now up in Freestuff. I guess Pack 4 will be there Monday.

I've discovered that there are a couple of texture files that appear to have gone walkabout: "stnsdgrid.jpg" and "stnsdbump.jpg".
Being deprived of a texture makes Daleks very irate...

Oops. Sorry bout that. I'll get it sorted asap.

Uploaded new version of STNSD, correcting a missing dome lamp and the missing texture maps. Should be available for download soon.

they are super models sam,i do love daleks.
does anyone know of a way of simulating an authentic style dalek voice?
i think a ring modulator could be involved but theres more than that to it i'm thinking.
t'wood be great to get them talking......telling dalek jokes etc.

I spoke to Nick Briggs (the man who does the Dalek voices) who uses a Moogerfrooger to get the requisite sound. They aren't in production any more but a custom guitar FX builder may have a clone, or you may be able to get a used one on FleaBay.
Failing that, you can get individual stomp boxes or a multi FX unit. In addition to Ring Mod, you also need to overload the input stage, so you should use a distortion circuit or overdrive. A little compression doesn't hurt, either.
The single most important thing is to get your voice tone and phrasing correct, though. All the FX in the world won't get you sounding like a Dalek if you speak in a regular voice. Do half the work before the FX stage and you will get a convincing voice.
BTW, Mr Briggs is a really nice guy; he posed for some photos with Claire and little Samuel, and autographed a poster for us. :)
