'Eddie the Eagle of engineering' builds full size replica dalek from 1973 Radio Times

A Wool engineer has turned back the clock to build one of the most iconic and evil aliens in 成人论坛 TV science fiction history.

52 year old Andy Farley has created a replica dalek, the extraterrestrial nemesis of Dr Who. The project has taken just over a year to complete using only a diagram from an old 1973 edition of the Radio Times. Its parts include a low power engine, a voice transfer machine and several household items. The dalek even has its own registration plate, TFD 478, reflecting the number of hours it took to build.

Previously the motorbike enthusiast has built a motorised sunbed, a portable toilet with an engine, an unusually fast wheelchair, and even a garden bench with an engine.

The dalek will be raffled off in a year's time with all proceeds in aid of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance charity. 成人论坛 Radio Solent reporter Laurence went down to a Wareham garage to meet the dalek.
