Original "HEAT" Dalek Concept Model

I recently did a bought model kit of A Spider Dalek, which was based on the wining entry in a "Design A Dalek" contest is 2004 in honor of the revived series (2005). I had a great time and decided I'd like to make a model of the Dalek I designed for the contest. It was a new version of the special weapons Dalek from Remembrance Of The Daleks. I call it the HEAT Dalek, Hostile Environment Assault Tank Dalek.

The concept was a heavy weapons Dalek, with tank treads to traverse rugged terrain. I know Daleks float as of Remembrance Of The Dalek, but I though it was a cool idea anyway.

This model will be 1:6th scale to go with the 12 inch figures. The model will be a combination of 3D printing and scratch building (and tank treads stolen from a model kit). I am about 80% done modeling the parts I intend to print. I have started printing the big parts. So here's the concept art and where the 3d model is so far. Let me know what you think!

I'm slowly making progress. The large parts are sanded and ready for paint. I've started making some of the non-printed parts. Here is where it's at so far...

Small update. Everything is sanded and ready for spray painting... unfortunately this weekend was too cold to spray paint. I did a little work on the small parts that needed hand painting. Here is the complete eyestalk...

Weather is warm enough for spray painting!! The black parts are painted, the white parts are painted, and the grey are in process! So, I should start to have significant progress... Stay tuned...
