Sad, I met him back in 2004 as an extra in True Horror. He hung around several hours after filming talking with us. RIP.

@BBCNews Sad. I was an extra in True Horror which he presented in 2004. Hung around 2-3 hours after filming, very nice man. RIP. I am the one on far right.

Today was spent in Rudry Parish Hall filming for Terry Cooper and Dr Who Meets The Scorpion - fan film. Exciting things afoot!

Purchased this to read the battery levels of Decimus but at some point, I will want to add a some display to inside the cockpit.

Went out for a small Trundle. First time out this year.

Some exciting developments on the filming front over the next few months for the YouTube channel - including a few collaborations I’m really looking forward to.

Looking forward to sharing more content soon.

Been a bit quiet as of late as I am working on a website for my wife's jewellery business. I started it off with designing one for Decimus just to get back into coding and design as its been years since I did anything. I am very happy how it looks and its about 50% done.

@VGArtAndTidbits Remember getting a magazine in the early 1990's called Mean Machines Sega one issue had a book with SFII artwork and this was in it. Love this game.

Was my long standing ambition to make this control box that Ian throws down the elevator shaft. The idea was that it would play videos on the screen but also double up as a toolbox while at comic cons while being a prop within itself. The problem is transporting it.

Now have a model for the blue button that was used in the movie. Which will be 3D Printed and added to the Dalek Corridor set.

Given Doctor Who Series Production is based in Cardiff, they often filmed in Cardiff and the area outside. Two of the following were literally within 3 miles of my house, where I have walked on many occasions.

May take a drive down to deepest darkest Dorset in the summer to Winspit Quarry, where Destiny of the Daleks was filmed. Not been to Dorset for a good 6+ years and its a county I haven't really explored (only first went there in 2012). Reminds me of Devon/Cornwall.

I now have all the Dr Who books/comics that I originally had back between 1993-1995. I believe the beautiful Movie Dalek was built by Julian Vince and it was this book that prompted me to contact him 31 years ago about building a Dalek. By 1995 my interests changed.

Thanks to two friends Terry Cooper and Sam Kayes (CAD design and for 3D printing) these ended up turning out amazing. I currently have a 3rd that I may look to add a servo so that it does some subtle movements.

@kargandemonclaw I just uploaded an image of the ship and asked for AI to make it black with gold highlights. I can't really take credit for it and nether can I afford to pay an artist to create it for me.

This year I have had Dalek Vexx 7 years and I really need to have him motorised, so that I can be less reliant upon just having Decimus. So starting when the weather gets better/warmer (April/May hopefully), I will document his progress.
