This perfectly captures how unnatural it means to be a Dalek, the fact that they cannot reproduce naturally and require a whole production line just to multiply their numbers adds to the evil presence they have at the universe at large. Stellar stuff. If I was a kid and I saw this, this would've either made me a fan, or want a playset of it.

Ashley (who made most of the CG models as well as our real Daleks) does have a 3D printer so there could be a playset 🙂. Although it does take ages to print just one small piece so probably longer than it has taken us to make out Devious episodes to do a whole playset.

@@naruto199797I think the process either involves budding or cloning to some degree, but I know that the Dalek Embryo's need strong biomass(Flesh) to keep them sustained during the gestation process. This usually involves a lot of dead people in their wake. However, it should be noted that the Dalek DNA is separate from the biomass needed for the process to occur. The Dalek Emperor broke this rule of thumb, but I think the circumstances were different at the time.

Actually in our story they go into a chamber where they hang around a bit getting conditioned to be inside the Daleks - right at the end - and are a bit like the cave of Daleks in Power of the Daleks. So they are, in fact, rather dazed.

I can feel a smile while watching this(a Davros smile if you will). So satisfying to see the production of the supreme beings in every multiverse and beyond. All hail the Dalek Empire.

What’s cool about this is that it takes that somewhat ‘flimsy’-looking classic design with the paper-thin slats, which is a great silhouette but not really convincing as ‘heavy duty battle armour’, and turns it into something that _could_ actually be subject to quick-turnover production . . . Moreover when you see their actual ‘production’ like this these screen-accurate props become much more ‘believable’ . . . Well done anyway 👍

We do love the new series bronze daleks but wanted classic silver and blue for Devious. Ashley later adjusted them for the Neverwas - another fan film we were involved in - plus the two stage plays put on a few years ago. Those slats are flimsy - on our real daleks several have broken slats, so we did model some CGI with the same broken slats.

So that's how they did it at Shawcraft...

I love this so much!🤩 I'm a 3D modeller of 3 years, now freelance, and my first project was a dalek. (Though I couldn't figure out the shape at the time and scrapped it 😅, decided to make a tardis console instead)

Ashley made the Daleks in Blender (all the 3D is done in blender). We did have the advantage that he had made full size props for Devious in the first place.

If the modern series still had classic dalek designs this is how I picture they would be shown. Fantastic.

Oooh I didn’t notice before but I like that big green battery bank behind the gunstick terminal!

So in the first few seconds of this video, we see half assembled Daleks sitting on the assembly line waiting to be completed. I hope the assembly line hadn't been shut down for too long or the mutants inside might have been getting a bit bored sitting there for months on end.
