ruI think I need a knitting icon. XD
Anyway, now that Dalek #3 has been acquainted with his rightful owner, I can now show PICTURES.
Dalek #3 was done for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aneles, who wanted a red Dalek. As a result, we got around to thinking that maybe a representation of the Supreme Dalek, last seen blowing up at the end of season 4, would be in order. So that's what I did!
Supreme Dalek in profile. The Supreme Dalek is in red and gold, although the gold gets kinda washed out by the boldness of the red. No matter, as he knows he's the kick-asseriest Dalek of them all! Like Dalek Red Shirt, his eyestalk and plunger arm are reinforced with thick wire. I recently procured some thinner-gauge wire, which I hope will be a little bit easier to work with. The stuff I was using was stubborn as all get-out when it came to being worked into knitting.
And from the back. I was a little concerned he got overstuffed, but I think he turned out alright. If nothing else, it makes him more squishable. <3
No frontways picture here. Right in the middle of his photoshoot, we were ATTACKED.
INTERLOPER. INVADER. CRAZED PURPLE HELLBEAST. EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE.
I wish I could show you the battle, but I was so shocked by the amount of violence that ensued that, well, I just couldn't bring myself to take pictures. I did manage to snap a photo of the outcome, though, once the dust had cleared.
Seriously, he didn't have a chance. My Little Ponies are much more agile than Daleks. And that magnet in their hoof? Killer. It's like River with a giant sharp pointy object.
No matter, though. Supreme Dalek recovered after that fateful night, and consoled himself with a wine glass full of diet soda. Got hella drunk off of it too. But he's recovered, and is now residing happily in his new home, where hopefully he won't encounter anything quite so vicious. YOU WIN THIS ROUND, KIMONO.
