- So I went and bought myself a screen used Dalek from Doctor Who. This isn't something that happens everyday, so here's a breakdown of my crazy adventure so far! (Possibly featuring Matt Smith...)

I’m glad there’s others that like the Paradigm Daleks, I’ve always liked them and thought they deserved a second chance.
Likewise, great to see the love for them!
Regardless of your opinion on the colourful bois. Any Dalek is cool
I never liked them. Probably never will, I like them even less than I used to nowadays.
But I guess someone has to like them, lol. And besides, a real Dr. WHO prop, from the time when it wasn't completely awful yet, is pretty neat regardless.
Being trapped in a prop Dalek sounds like a shitty Creepy Pasta. 😂
When you're done with rebuilding it, sit Kermit on it for the ultimate Crossover.
It does 😂😂 and I've thought about this too, might have to be done!
Ian Chesterton (the male companion of William Hartnell) get stuck inside a Dalek while trying to escape. In that case, was part of the plot :D
This episode really touches my heart - a boi and his dalek!
Glad you enjoyed! 😀
There are few things I wouldn’t give for a fully-poseable 1:1 scale Paradigm Dalek prop replica in metallic green, with lights and swappable arms.
It's mad that you not only have a full-size Dalek...but a DOCTOR WHO SCREEN-USED Dalek...Incredible.
Not only that, but you got THE RED one...THE BEST one!
Is it possible that this was a stunt body, or that the arms and head could have been put onto a lighter stunt body that maybe went through some kind of death scene?
You could most definitely either
1) take a silicone mould of one of the bumps, and cast it in resin
2) vacuum form over an existing pump and create a plastic shell. You could attach that to your Dalek, or fill it with a plastic/foam to make it sturdier.
It is indeed mad, I loved Matt Smith's invested interest in which colour dalek I'd gotten. "The red one? Nice!" 😂
I know it wasn't used for any stunts in the show as there was never any such scene, but it is a complete mystery as to where the top half went.
I'm leaning towards production members just stripping the parts for keepsakes. Can't imagine that happening for the whole top half though. Thanks for the advice!
what a cool story!
can't wait to see it restored to it's former glory😃
Really glad you enjoyed it, neither can I!
Just stumbled across this video and already in awe. I absolutely love the Daleks and have always wanted a prop of my own. I'd happily watch a series of restoration videos!
Really glad you enjoyed it, excited for what's to come!
You certainly got one of the better ones mate. Quite a few of those paradigm props were prom stage show props and some where made for exhibition only. Those ones never were seen on screen.
There were a couple of actual screen used props and you did get one! Great condition too! I did tons of research for a guy who only wanted a real screen one. The battered supreme, your skirt, half the full eternal and the red cross one were all screen used. He got the battered supreme.
Very cool.
Yes, I was over the moon to have a screen used one, despite the live Strategist prop, for example, being more complete.
That's fantastic, when you say "battered Supreme" do you mean the one from Victory that's all dirtied up? I noticed someone else online has the Supreme from Asylum, which is cleaner but still missing parts. It would be great to be put in contact with any of the prop owners, if possible!
@SomeBoiOnline yeah. The white battered supreme in the auction was the original victory supreme and used in pandorica opens. This was also used in wedding of river song at the start, all battered up and then went on to be used in asylum. I am in contact with the buyer. He was overjoyed to win it. Other daleks looked in better condition but his supreme has the most provenance (used in 4 stories). The best condition props were actually used in the dr who proms stage show. Very cool but not screen used (outside of iplayer I guess). You could tell by the strip of curtain material under the bumper to hide the operators feet on stage! The almost complete good condition supreme sold was a prom dalek.
You got a fantastic prop there. It was made specifically for asylum. You could go to this planet earth for the rest of your dalek.
Interesting fact...the burned paradigm skirt in the propstore auction was actually the blue original skirt that was turned to stone in big bang. All burned up but so cool to know what it originally was.
I love this stuff. I'm a small scale prop collector myself but you got a beautiful item there.
There are some great FB groups for collectors. I'm sure you would be able to make contact there...
Thanks so much for all the advice, if you haven't seen it already, my previous video covers the history of the Paradigm Daleks across all media! ruclips.net/video/zu0QwUAxPCQ/видео.htmlsi=tERCEOCsxDw30kKM
Hope the restoration goes well
Tv and film props have always fascinated me so glad one so personal to ya ended up in a good home
Thanks, it's always fascinating to see where they end up and in what condition! Certainly means a lot to have this one in particular.
I can't believe you got a real prop! I only became a Whovian recently so I'm pretty excited to see that you got one, given what you channel is all about. I don't understand why the Paradigm Daleks are disliked so much. I guess I enjoyed them even without as much screen time as the rest of the Daleks. Good luck with the restoration!👍
Love to hear that, thanks so much!
The dislike came from the overall size and the fact that the spine changed the silhouette of the Dalek too much. I got in touch with Peter McKinstry at the time (he deisgned them) to geive some positive feedback as I though us fans were getting a bit over the top about the dislike. He told me that his original design was closer to the shape of the 60s Daleks but the builider had changed things to make the production of the props easier. He very kindly shared a couple of his design with me and his ideas were wonderful. I encouraged him to join the Project Dalek Forum and share his stuff there - which he did as much as he could. This was all years ago when the NP Daleks were still fresh and Smith was still the Doctor. I believe there is a set of free plans on PDF that show the way these Daleks were meant to look. I haven't been a member of PDF for a few years now as I finished building my Dalek and got into furniture building instead. Good times though meeting some good people and raising some money for charity along the way. My Dalek: www.projectdalek.co.uk/mainsite/index.php/dalek-showcase/jon-place
Glad to see some paradigm dalek Rep. Truly a delight to see
Glad people are enjoying it! Seems like it's going to be ramping up as they're returning on audio next month! Never thought I'd see the day...
The back hatch on The Paradigm was actually meant to store weapons, they would lift out of the back and spin around to the front via that little groove on the "shoulders". I think theres concept art of it somehere but I don't think they ever showed it directly in the show.
Yes it was, I touch on it in my "History of the New Dalek Paradigm" video. Very cool stuff!
@@SomeBoiOnline Just watched that video after I saw this. 😅
This is so amazing to see! Can't wait to see your restoration project as it unfolds!
Also interesting to see a FAB 1 miniature from the 2004 Thunderbirds at the Prop Store. Quite fitting that the most controversial Daleks would be stored alongside a prop from the most controversial Thunderbirds film 😅
Glad you enjoyed it! My dad was particularly enthralled by the Thunderbirds stuff there 😂
I didn't stumble on this until just now, despite being familiar with your work for a couple days now and taking that time to mull over your history of the Paradigm one. And of COURSE you'd get the RED one. You know by now why that makes my eyebrows go up.
Either way, congratulations on this, big time. This is even more special than having an antique car, because these props, of this quality (regardless of missing parts), are RARE and only a few, if even more than one, are made - and basically none are left. You're officially Mr. Paradigm! Always cherish it, and never let your love of the design diminish.
I'd definitely take a bunch of measurements and photos for the dalek builders club! I prefer the bronze NSD, but any sort of Dalek is fascinating to see. From the look of the back of your Dalek, it seems like stuff was definitely removed after it was built. Restoring everything (especially the top half) seems like a big task, but manageable with time. Definitely keep that chipped paint area!
I've just been doing that for the folk at Project Dalek as it happens, and yeah the chip will have to stay!
our childhood dream realized - owning our own dalek
Definitely! Which type do you have?
Now that you have actual parts to measure from, it should be much easier to calculate the dimensions of the remaining pieces to replicate them.
Neato! I love the Paradigms myself, even modeled my own Dalek on them with some mods to make it the right size to fit in my living room.
I’ve heard ‘This Planet Earth’ make good replicas and I believe they worked from dimensions of an original prop (at least they did for the bronze ones) so they might be a good source for replacement parts!
No this planetearth are really crap. Their measurements are out and their moulds are too old to produce good replicas. How the have a license to produce replicas is beyond me. They don't sell separate parts either.
Awesome! What a find! I'm sure you've heard of 'This Planet Earth', the officialy licenced company that makes and sells Dalek and Tardis props (including for the show) they also make Paradigm Daleks so I'd say if anyone has the official measurements it'd be them. Hope the restoration goes well my friend!
That's a very good point, thanks so much!
@@SomeBoiOnlineThere's also the TARDISBuilders forums, they might have Paradigm Dalek measurements
Best of luck with the restoration!
Thank you!
fabulous stuff! very jealous, love the paradigms
Thanks so much! Really glad that other Paradigm Dalek enthusiasts are emerging.
I love these Daleks. Honestly I understood why they were big due to them able to switch their weapon system. Also I like the colours as it gave them different identity classes. This is amazing!
Thats great to hear, really glad you've enjoyed!
Wow! What an amazing find.
I never understood why people disliked this type of dalek. They always seemed cool enough to me. I confess, like Dalek 6388 said, i never realised quite how much larger these were than the classic daleks, until i saw you climb inside.
I think you need a taller stepladder though!
I do hope you will be documenting your restoration work?
I knew they were big, but was still taken aback when coming face to face with the real thing, each sensor globe is massive!
Yes a taller ladder would be a great idea 😅 and hopefully my "Restoration of the Dalek" series should document any progress when it happens!
I will look forward to that now I'm subscribed.
If you need any help or advice, I have a small workshop with machine tools, on which I can turn, mill and machine metals and plastics.
Don't worry, I think you're fine so long as you don't touch it after time traveling.
“in fifty years, you'll be laughing” sounded like it was direct from 11😫
He just *is* 11, always the Doctor! 🥺
This is incredible, I'm insanely jealous you got this! I would've killed to get the Eternal as that is my favourite all time dalek, but I don't have the funds for that so I couldn't, will be great to watch you fix this one up, good luck!
Thanks so much, really glad people are enjoying the videos! The Eternal was the most complete prop and seems to have disappeared into a private collection unfortunately. 😥
@@SomeBoiOnline That's a shame, hopefully it pops up restored some day on display, it'd be great to go see it, you're not alone in liking the paradigm daleks lol
I remember being at that panel when you told matt you had a paradigm Dalek, I was dying to say hello as I love em too. So glad you saved one from being lost forever ! Hopefully someday it can make an appearance in a museum as I'd love to see them again, they was such good props.
Ah no way! What are the chances, amazing to hear that. Who knows, I'd love to get him on display eventually!
Great to see some paradigm appreciation, was gutted that they never became the main design and were phased out. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Really glad to hear that from like-minded people, thanks for the support!
Hi, an amazing thing for you to get, an original prop! It’s a shame they didn’t use them after asylum considering they’d lost the hump that most people didn’t like and the new metallic colours was much better. I’d seriously think about painting it though, I know it’s scuffed and scratched but it’s the original paint!
They are amazing, I love the revised design especially. If anything it'd be paint matched and touched up by professionals, but certainly wouldn't cover over the original paint!
Incredible! You must be the luckiest whovian alive, the 9 year old in me is well gealous! Long Live the Paradigm!
Someone out there has the full Eternal prop 👀 but yes, I feel very privileged indeed! So happy to see love for the Paradigm all these years later.
Nice man!
Regarding 3D printing (unless you're already familiar) what you want specifically is a filament printer that's fairly large. They're a bit of an investment, but they're the ones people use for cosplay props and armour, so you'll probably be able to get someone to do it for you. That'll help you replace a lot of missing bits.
Thanks! That's certainly a good shout, I'll try getting in touch with people who may have such equipment!
THIS IS AWESOME DUDE!!! IM SO DOWN FOR A RESTORATION SERIES WILL BE SUPPORTING U THE WHOLE WAY!!!
Thanks so much!
Soo lucky to have a life sized Dalek. It’s always been a dream of mine to own one
It was always a dream of mine too, never thought it'd happen!
With that many parts missing, I suspect it was used for parts - all the pieces missing from this one went to make more complete ones to sell at higher prices in the auction. Still, that's a really neat thing you've got there, it'll be fun to see it finished.
Congrats dude, literally just watched your last video on the Dalek Paradigm 🎉
Thanks so much, thought that video would serve as a nice precursor to this one!
If you want a paradigm version of Davros, all you need is a mask and you're done!
Yes! 😂
Awesome!. Even without the top head its amazing. You should try to get blueprints for the top portion to build. But I like it just the way it is anyway.
Bro is living his best life! Awesome!
Bro will hopefully be living a better life when he's fixed up! 😆
@@SomeBoiOnline can’t wait to see the progress
Congratulations!! So cool to have your own dalek, hope the restoration goes well! Can’t wait to see the whole process unfold!!
Keep hold of it. Movies Daleks go for £35,000
So cool had to subscribe love doctor who cannot wait to see u restore the rest of this amazing prop
Thanks so much, glad you like it!
Excellent video mate! You are a braver man than me buying one of those but you get serious bragging rights for owning it! Good luck in your restoration and I look forward to seeing your progress :)
Cheers, means a lot! Glad to hear you're looking forward to it.
There’s now a new Gromit mug model for Red nose day
ruclips.net/video/46I5WBUSPAk/видео.htmlsi=RTaVBls-N2MSx8Ef 👀
Can't wait to see how it turns out! 👍
Personally, I always liked the Chuchill Dalek's designs, even though the episode wasn't all that great or memorable to me, the designs were great. The little Union Jack on the front and everything.
I have 2 movie Daleks, one I take to Comic Cons and was one of the Daleks at the Queens Jubilee Pageant. Owning a Dalek is a lot of fun.
Ah that's fantastic, love the movie daleks and remember seeing them on the news for the Queen's Jubilee!
Without the head it looks like a grumpy little robot guy
Ironically there was an image circulating a while back of what is possibly this very dalek, with its dome perched low down on it's shoulders - which was nicknamed "Stumpy" by fans. So that's a pretty apt description!
Wow in 2010 I was 18 already. I miss being in my 20s.
a new paeadigm dalek at that nice one mate keep it in good nick and it will be loved for decades
Absolutely!
Subscibed, excited to see how you progress!.
Personally, I think you should (unfortunately) remove one of the skirt spheres (possibly strip it of all its paint? depends how much material the paint actually adds. So using one of the intact ones might be better.) and use that to make a mold, instead of 3D printing one.
Thanks, really appreciate it! I've been talking to a few people and that definitely seems the route to go down.
"Restoration Of The Daleks 2 - Dalektric Boolagoo", sounds like a fun series!
😂😂
That’s amazing! Cool video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
I didnt mind the Paradigm Daleks all that much, I was willing to give them a shot. The voices were intimidating and I liked the spikey eye stalk. The problem is that during the Matt smith run they never got any proper spotlight episodes to flesh them out. Thats been the main problem with Daleks since the end of the Tennent era, Daleks have not been treated like the unstoppable force with cunning intellect that they were meant to be. They could have been a nice set up to see gradually revive the Dalek Empire without devolving into your typical (must invade Earth of all planets and get destroyed) kind of way like we've seen so often. Have them conquering worlds only to be driven off, or succeeding because wouldnt that be a change. Show how good they are by them winning a time or two, rebuilding the Dalek Empire based on the rolls they were designed with. The Supreme acting as the hidden puppet master, Strategist at his side and commanding from the van, have the Scientist and the Eternal breeding a new generation of purebred Daleks, as for the Drone I think its a misplaced unit. It should have been another command unit (make blue Fleet Commander and red a Ground Commander) Show them rebuilding the Empire then launching campaigns across the universe, no one episode and done shenanigan's like with the new cyberman episode with Clara, they needed to be a threat that grew, not just magically have rebuilt the Empire offscreen.
The Paradigm Daleks had potential, its just a shame the writers wasted it all. They had the potential to be a new shining part of the story, but it was botched by the lacking foresight of the writers and directors that plague the show today.
What a way to start the new year 🙌🏻
Thought I'd try and start it with a bang! 💥
This is brilliant!
Thanks! 😃
Mentioning Dalek 63:88 is incredibly based
The best Dalek resource by far!
Hi, I actually own the prop shown at 6:59. It pre-dates any available fan build guides and through careful research is actually more accurate than both the currently available plans and the official ‘this planet earth’ daleks. If you look at a TPE paradigm you’ll see that the skirt is too cinched at the top - that’s the main way you can tell that the incorrect dimensions have been used.
Wow, that's great! It was the first Paradigm replica I remember seeing online and always admired it when I was younger.
It does seem very hard to get the shape of the Paradigm right, from the photo I can see his base is more angular and think I heard somewhere he's even bigger than the original props?
I always wanted a TPE replica as a kid, but can now see they're not as perfect as I once thought!
@@SomeBoiOnline the whole thing is slightly too large - that's right! the other thing is the angles in the fender, though I quite like it as it makes it easy to identify in old convention photos (it used to do con circuits with sons of skaro). It's currently being refurbished by Steve Allen into a metallic paradigm in the asylum style - I think it's the best they ever looked - and has a brand new eye, built from scratch. it's certainly an imposing thing. it's great to see a screen used prop in good hands!
Such a British thing to spend your uni maintenance loan on a Dalek... 😂
😂😂
No way, well done mate
I know right, thanks!
Excellent film
Very nice ,yer the sensor globs if ya can make a copy of another and make vacuum form copies ,yer project dalek site are great site for 3d files ,good luck with build but will look great when all touched up 😊
I have a gold Day of the Daleks Dalek and it’s so cool owning one. I look forward to your videos. How amazing would it be if you could find the original neck and dome. I’m excited for you.
Thanks so much, It'd be a miracle if it turned up someday! Love the gold Supreme from Day of the Daleks, that's a really cool one to have!
@@SomeBoiOnline thanks for taking the time to reply. I’m sure that you won’t have any trouble getting a neck, dome, gun and sucker arm. I’m genuinely excited for you and can’t wait for your next video. I’ve had mine for over 20 years and am trying to make him operational. He’s a This Planet Earth Dalek so not as sturdy as yours but you can’t beat owning a Dalek. Finding somewhere to put him has been a challenge in the past! lol
That is fantastic!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
YEAH!!! 👍
I know right 😅
I'm extremely excited to see updates on it being built. Just to let you know your a legend
Perhaps with the restoration you could potentially add small modifications so you can sit inside and control it from inside with a RC controller, and insert small cameras in places where you can't really tell if there's a camera to give you a better view outside while sitting inside it, and on the inside you have 7" mounted panel display so you can see your surroundings through those cameras because your visibility will be almost nonexistent when sitting inside with the top on when you want to ride around in it.
This would be a great idea for a Dalek replica, but with this being an original prop, I'd like to restore it as faithfully as possible. Which means good old-fashioned wheels and a small hole in the front to see out of!
I so want the new dalek paradigm to return
I'll have him on standby just in case! 😆
You should look into Electroplating 3D Prints coz I think that would be the cheapest way of recreating those missing parts.
Cheers!
Gotta leave that identification mark so that it can be known as that form now on
Yes I think I'd have to keep that!
Get in contact with Tom Connor for 3d printed neck rings. The balls you can get from The precision plastic ball company.
owning a cult of skaro dalek form is the most wanted by dalek fans
Matt Smith is right, in about 50 years you might well be laughing.
Even though I very much doubt you'd want to part with it. :p
I have always wanted one, probably the bronze ones or even a classic one. I think those would be better for me as I am short and it would be easier to climb inside. This is cool though.
15:15
So... Anyone for dodgems?
wellll hope find ALL the bit be great to see em put back to gether and no i like this one not bad at all
There is a new gromit mug it’s a Red Nose Day one with a red nose

that is nice!
Thanks!
Its a beast.
He is, imagine the full height! 😂
You lucky, lucky bastard
😂😂
I have a theory where the Daleks neck rings may have gone because in a video talking about the designing of the smith/Capaldi tardis they said they used the paradigm dalek neck rings for the roundels so I’m thinking they took the neck rings off the dalek because it wasn’t in use and put it on the tardis
That crossed my mind too! Though apparently they just used the neck ring mould for the TARDIS roundels, meaning brand new ones were created.
I'd change the colour but my preference is traditional grey but metallic for this 😊
To be honest, I'm pretty shocked with the Propstore set-up. On their website and in their catalogues, they say how everything is stored in secure, controlled environments... a barn, in my opinion, does not meet that description! And I would have been really angry when I saw it dumped outside like that!
I should add that the barn was more of a front, likely to not draw any attention to the building. Once you went inside it was very secure. There was also a much larger and contemporary facility that stored the bulk of the props adjacent to it.
@@SomeBoiOnline Ah, that's a bit more reassuring!
I only want one so I can walk around town shouting exterminate and other stuff down on the speaker
😅
This Planet Earth will be able to help...
Perhaps, good shout!
SO COOL
Cheers!
Are you gonna review the big finish paradigm dalek stories?
I definitely plan to, they were great! Just overhauling my setup at the moment.
I want, I need.
😂
Hmmm..
Maybe they used it for spare parts.
If I was you I'd get InTouch with this planet earth that produce replicas from the original moulds and Id ask them how much it would cost to have them restore it. That way everything will be as accurate as it can get.😊
Wow
😯
i mean...not the worst thing to use a uni loan on.
😆
Hiya! I wonder if this Dalek was purposefully damaged/taken apart and not kept as one "lot" to make sure it couldn't be reused or copied from? It sounds like a horrible thing to suggest but I've heard it happen in other things. Love the Dalek!! Hope you find the other "1"s!
Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed! I do think there must be a reason for the removed parts, but the fact there were full Daleks in the auction seems to debunk that theory! Hopefully the truth behind it all comes out eventually.
There is a new gromit mug for red nose day 2024 if you want to do a review :)

Hi, I’d like to send you an email of you don’t mind. I’m a member of the Project Dalek forum and the dimensions of the parts you have haven’t been well documented. If you could run a tape measure over some parts if it, we’d really appreciate it!
I'm on there currently helping to provide some dimensions from the prop! Glad people will be able to have access to the Asylum plans.
@@SomeBoiOnline super! The plans have needed an update for a while, and the owner of the original Dalek Supreme from Victory of the Daleks is also helping out too. Can’t wait!
Could you donate the measurements to project dalek please.
