A seriously Secsy Dalek

I'm a hard guy to impress but once in a blue moon something does make me suck in breath and make me wish I had made it. Such a moment occurred this week when I laid eyes on this staggering piece of engineering:


Yep, your eyes do not deceive you, this really is what it appears to be: a fully functional reveal Dalek Sec.

The guy who built this thing, Dave Duca, has gone balls out to engineer something that is as close to a real Dalek casing as you will hope to find outside of fiction.

Creating and engineering a reveal Dalek is impressive enough but actually making it functional with voice changer, swiveling mid section and functional eye stalk takes it into the realms of the seriously cool. Okay, so there are enough inaccuracies to keep the anoraks busy for a while but the overall effect is just jawdropping and for once, I don't give a fuck about minor details.

To see this thing in motion is sheer poetry. Here are some videos for you:




Dave, you are a truly talented guy and your Dalek Sec has given me a great deal of pleasure. I so want one.
