The last of these three tin plates - 2005's 'The Parting of the Ways'. I completed this piece a whole two years ago now! It was a satisfying challenge sculpting this Emperor. More pics of him to come. #Blender3D

The Emperor Dalek as seen in the 2005 episode. In the foreground left to right are the Doctor (seen from behind), the title text, and a Dalek, also seen from behind. In the background around the Emperor, many Daleks are hovering.

The second of this batch of tin plate designs - Remembrance of the Daleks. Kapow! Love this story. #Blender3D

An array of Daleks, montaged against a background of Coal Hill School, The Imperial Dalek shuttlecraft, and planet Earth. The nearest Dalek is a grey Renegade firing its blue energy weapon. The Special Weapons Dalek in the middle distance fires its gun towards the right, creating a ploom of fire in the near-right corner.
