he edges around the walkway were airbrushed silver along with the frame work for the walkway, the doors and a light coat around the windows.  The front of the console was given a coat of gold and then dry brushed with black.

Thanks Tamer, here's my latest update from last night.

Taking a step, I realised that there were areas were you could still the blue of the foam board.  With this in mind I painted the back of the tower, the side of the walkway which I had left black and walls the tower covered using a combination of grey acrylic with water and applied it to the areas using a sponge.  Once that was done I gave the floor a second coat.

Leaving those to dry, I turned my attention back to the walls and walkway, touching up the areas needed, painting the Daleks consoles, circles and monitors.  The front of the walkway I gave a second coat of silver, this time bring it round to the side, painting the newly marked out panels which I had missed.  All the doors got a second coat of silver and the windows by the walkway I have painted them black for now, with the plan of applying space imagery decals to them.

All that is left to do is paint the back of the walls black, apply the decals, weather this diorama and customise one of my Daleks.

I was looking at this diorama and something just didn’t look right about it.  It was the floor, to me it did not match flat against the everything.  After watching a LOT of Dr Who recently to get inspiration for this project, you will notice (especially with the recent series’s)  that everything is metallic and shiny.  With that in mind I decided to not to weather this build except for the air vents, then using my  airbrush I gave the floor a coat of rose gold to bring it in line with the rest of the structure.

At first I was uncertain of it until the paint dried and Daleks where placed within.  You will see further down with what I mean!

While the floor was drying I then set to painting the backs of both the walls, with this being a single sided diorama, the backs of the walls were painted with a watered down solution of black acrylic paint.  This stops the blue foam bleed through when light is been shown from the back.  To help applying the paint I used a sponge to spread the paint evenly across the surfaces.

With the painting now completed I can now start adding accessories within to set the scene.  I have a broken Dalek figure which I am going to customise to make it look like Dalek Caan from the episode "Journey's End"

You will see from the pictures below the updated floor and the Dalek in question I will be using.

Thanks Philipp!

As I mentioned above I want to customize a broken Dalek into Dalek Caan from “Journey’s End” episode.

Using my rotary took to cut the Daleks helmet off. I then cut the middle out of the grill section and glued the grill section back on top of the Dalek. Using the rotary tool to slice the removable front section in half, sanded it down and glued the sections to the front of the body as they do in the TV series.

Using hot glue and a toothpick to make the tendrils surrounding the Dalek’s mutant form. I used the toothpick to manipulate the hot glue around the body.

The pedestal Caan sits on is made from insulation foam board. With four extra parts cut to stand at each corner and made to look like vents. Painted with a dark metallic gold paint.

A bronze chain purchased from GreenStuff world was used to wrap over Caan and glued into place at each corner of the pedestal. Cables were with then fitted into the Dalek head, running down its body and fitted into the four vent posts.

The finished piece

With my custom Dalek Caan finished, the decals of outer space placed in the windows and the decals in the two small monitors, I think this diorama is now complete and ready for next weekends Bradford Science Festival.

Usual finishing photos to follow.
