I had to happen I just couldn't wait to start so here's the kit and contents plus my choice of colour scheme and and it won't be an absolutely clean build as I have found some close up shots and you can see how grubby it looks.
First the parts.

First job to do is fill the large vertical sink marks before construction can commence.

Peter - you missed Dalek out of the blog title!

Lots of sinkage on those flat panels :surprised:

So I did now editted

I have the first seven panels on the skirt with not much problem but when I put the last four on they didn't quite line up but with a lot of sanding it's sorted and it's first undercoat

[peterairfix]

First couple of coats of paint on the main three sections and courtesy of John and another quick delivery I now have enough gold paint and I am surprised I only needed two coats.

[peterairfix]

Just finished off the head and neck section and also finished off the skirt so it's just the mid section to finish.

It's certainly a different type of model, I like it. Hadnt heard of Dr Who until I came to the UK in 1977 aged 12, I did enjoy them the new ones however are, well a bit surreal, where have the old advissaries gone, daleks, cybermen etc, bring them back I say.....
