    Default Dalek my dad and gramps built for sale on ebay

    About 10 years ago my dad and grandad built 14 full size replica daleks, I thought i'd do a search on ebay and sure enough one of them is for sale on there for £2000.

    Well when you build something even the smallest design aspect sticks out and there are some distinguishing features so I can see that it is definately one of them. I also emailed the seller and I told him the what the inside looks like, materials each part is made from etc just to clarify it.
