"Bean counters said I couldn't buy $3 worth of AI's. Bought em anyway. Ground em up, mixed them into one design. Turns out ground up AI's are pure poison. I am deathly ill" Plans for a GLaDOS design that has all the expressiveness and detail of P2 and the core design of P1

A mass exodus of staff, head admin running to the hills so he doesn't have to deal with the mess he made, Owner no where to be seen, all because they chose a transphobe over the rest of their staff. In PRIDE month no less. I guess it isn't too surprising given their track record, but OOF Dalek HQ

I think I need to make another one that’s just a stock E1x in like umber brown or southern green if I do that. Just so I’m not solely catering to Thomas fans

"For an elegant touch" Uh huh, sure. you made them weird rhombuses instead of trapazoids. very different, very distinct. So distinct I literally didn't notice the difference from the other 'new' renders until I saw this post.

The prototype for my #3Dprinted GT3 body shell is done, and it's coming together quite nice. Still a few tweaks to make but we're not miles away from getting it ready to sell. #modelrailway
My 3D printed GT3 body shell, fitted onto a Triang B12 chassis. The livery is black with a red buffer beam at the front, with white for highlighted areas. The livery of the chassis was green on the original loco. It is still a work in progress as many parts are not fitted, such as the handrails.Better shot of the front of the loco, the buffers are not black on the end as they should be as this is just a prototype. Route discs are not shown for the same reason.A shot inside the cab through the window, this part is printed in a white filament with black window panes.A face on shot of the loco with a light shining on the front. This highlights the red fan on the front of the loco behind the vent.

yes, it is a vrc group. However, it is a vrc group that has built a following off of stolen work and ideas. Hell, the group itself is a shallow copy of VR Dalek. I would know, I was on the HQ staff. Art theft is something rather serious, and just because it's in a game doesn't change that

Brother, I’ve been modeling Daleks for 5 years. There’s an infinite amount of ways to remix and rework design elements and stay original looking. Using the “all Daleks look the same” argument is incredibly reductive and insulting to all the creative and talented Dalek modelers out there.

Squid1562 @squid1562.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
You putting the orthos from ordinals model next to this one is not helping your case my guy. You’re right, the exact details are slightly different. But put this model and prydonians side by side and they look 90% the same

Squid1562 @squid1562.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Again, there’s a difference between “inspired by” and just taking something. The neck, dome, shoulders and eye are practical identical to the PD’s model. There are ways of adapting design elements without lifting them wholesale from someone else’s work

Squid1562 @squid1562.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
So here’s a thought: If someone took this model, changed the domelights and colors then claimed they created the whole thing, wouldn’t you be upset? That’s basically what you’ve done here. Just crediting someone is not an excuse to copy their work while claiming it’s your own thing.

There is something to be said about the differences between being "inspired by" and blatantly ripping something off. Like you can't make this stuff up. No permission was asked, just yoinked and "It's my own original character Blonic". Pick up the pencil and design something yourselves.

As described, it manages foreign relations for the empire and effectively "Human Resources" for the empire.Prydonian's "Antalin Division Agent" Dalek.
