To achieve more stability, I glued small wooden beams on the side of the mid construction.

Then, I needed to make an inner construction were the top part can rest on.
I cut some plywood into shape and screwed it into place.

For an easier access while working on this part, and so save some weight, I cut away the unnecessary
material. I also added the holes for the watercooling.

Next, I figured out were to put the small water tanks for this section.

I built a mountingsystem for them and attached it to the bottom plate.

I marked the outline for the tubes and added a small wooden box. You will see later for what it will be used ;)

And here is a picture of the water cooling layout in this area.

Thanks all.

Sleep and food are for the weak ;)

To see he inside of the mid section, I needed to cut the glasfibre body in three pieces.

To make them fit together after cutting, I wraped on side in masking tape and used bodyfiller to hide the Cutting line.
That way you will not see a bit gap when this section is closed.

Then, I primed the parts to check if some areas need more sanding or more filler.

While the primer dried, I took the time to paint the doors and the bottom of the base section black.
This will function as another layer of primer. I used dispersion paint because its cheaper than spray paint and
with some care the results are the same.

For some more details on the bottom edge, I drilled holes and installed some bolts.
Then the edges were painted in a silver tone.

And then back to the mid section. For the opening, I used the same mechanism as for the doors.

Thank all for the amazing feedback. Will try to do my best for this mod :)

I am kind of a night person so I dont need that much sleep *lol*

 

As a next step, I started to work on the little highlight for the mid section.
What makes a Dalek a real Dalek. Sure a Dalek :)
I modeled a rought shape from newspaper and fixed it with masking tape.

27597660es.jpg

Then I tried out the positioning on the inside.

27597661zw.jpg

27597662gd.jpg

A selfmade eye was also included.

27597663os.jpg

To get everything into shape, I used a very simple and cheap technique. Paper maché.
I applied multiple layers to hide the structure of the newspaper. When it dried the entire
model will be very strong but also light weight.

27597664ss.jpg

27597666ha.jpg

In the mean time, I started the next section.
First, I cut a round piece of wood and made a template for the structure, that should hold the round wooden beams on the outside
and the acrylic glass pieces on the inside.

27597667ek.jpg

Because I did not have wood in the right thickness on hand, I glued two pieces together.

27597670ke.jpg

27597674eq.jpg

Than it was attached to the round plate. In addition, I cut out the top of the construction and installed
the roound wood beams on the outside. Smaller gaps were filled with wood filler.

27597679yb.jpg

27597681wj.jpg

27597686mn.jpg

I 3d printed small details, that I glued into place.

27597688jc.jpg

27597690sz.jpg

For a more industrial kind of look, I used some screws.

27597691rx.jpg

Next up will be the light system for this part and than I will make the basic structure of the "head"
