The article says it all.

That's...remarkable...

480,000 of them??!!

I loved this part:

The Dalek sits on casters to help it move around and with the help of a voicebox inside its domed head can even utter its chilling catchprase "Ex-ter-min-ate, ex-ter-min-ate."

It is the Dalek, however, which may soon be moving on. "It takes up too much room and I want to sell it,~ said Mr Croucher. ~I~m prepared to listen to offers and sell it to the highest bidder."

Mrs Croucher's sigh of relief at not having to share a sitting room with a Dalek may, however, be short-lived. Her husband is planning a Spitfire, with a six feet wingspan, and wants to build a boat that can be rowed across the Channel.

Part of me thinks "This guy spent HOW much of his life building this?" while the other part of me is going "COOOOOOL!"

That is dedication, folks! 0_0

Can you imagine how long it must have taken to do the gun, for instance? That looks highly breakable.

It also brings something else to mind - isn't it wonderful how the Daleks' guns, even in NuWho, still look like eggbeaters?
