For the curious, my Mom made this out of modeling clay and cloth. She got a picture from a magazine, counted stitches for the scarf and managed to get Tom Baker to sign it on the belly at a convention in 1985 (or was it 84). He was rather flattered.

Volunteer Marc Oakland was stunned when he pulled the head of a Dalek from the murky depths of a pond he was helping to clean.

That’s cool!
Oi! Russell!
I think we found that missing ptop!
Nice picture!
If that pic is of a good Dalek, what must a defective one look like? More mud? More sticks?
:-)
Heh....actually my only defect was that I was too perfect. :P
If y' ask me. I'd rather've found a strange woman lyin' in this pond, distributin' swords.
I can’t help it if I’m special! (and I don’t mean special needs!)
“You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you...”
Somebody call Torchwood

Good....my job is done! :P

Hmm! Wonder what that makes Darks and Sharkey?
