All sorts of projects based upon the Star Wars universe are making the rounds of various blogs, so why not take a break and build a Dalek instead?
Bonus link: here are some behind the scene pics from this season’s episode (a very dark episode incidently) of Doctor Who which features a Dalek.
Project Dalek also have a great forum at http://www.projectdalek.com where dalek builders can get hold of the essential plans.
