Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room We are the Robots...

Oh!! And the robot Maria from Metropolis - how could I have forgotten the original she robot?!

Lovely design.

Yeah, Kryten was cool - like Max Headroom with a body and legs!

My recently re-displayed Dalek collection looks like this:

Flippin eck Alex,thats a lot of Daleks.Very impressive

Is the collective word for a bunch of Daleks an Invasion of Daleks?

Please also note my own Dalek artwork adorning the wall!

July's purchase was a long overdue Ikea cabinet complete with light in the top. The Daleks needed a good dusting first though, but I'm very pleased with it... the oldest Dalek in there dates back to the 60s.

I think the collective term would have to be invasion - although now it's more of a confinement!

And, now they're all behind glass, there's no further risk of the cat inadvertantly setting off the talking ones at ungodly hours, and making me think the Daleks really had invaded!!

Looks like they might break out of there and start flying all over the place any minute!
EX_TER_MI_NATE !!

A few years ago, I tracked down (after weeks of scouring the net, sans success) a great book from my childhood – "Robots" – which was a lovely pocket book for kids, brilliantly illustrated, showing the history of robots both in fact and fiction. Of course, there was a Dalek in there!

That was the single most difficult thing I've ever looked for online, but found one eventually. I can't even find a good jpg in Google images!

Just remebered the Iron Giant,that book cover remninded me

Love that film

I remember a wonderfully illustrated book of Ted Hughes' THe Iron Man/Giant from when I was little, which no doubt inspired several drawings!
