Wasn't somebody building a an S5 replica/lookalike, to be powered with a much lesser engine?

There was a flying scale replica a few years ago and there is a current project to build a full scale replica ongoing at this moment sadly without a Napier Lion.

That must be the one that I came across recently, when browsing my stash of magazines. Sounds like they can engineer and build it, if they can raise the funds.

I couldn't agree more and I will build one at some point.
The S4 fascinates me and must have been a revelation in 1925 with its clean unbraced monoplane design and that Lion neatly faired in up front.

... cold shower time ;)

I saw a great Steampunk Dalek somewhere not long ago and thought it might be a grin to build a Dieselpunk version. I'm sort of taking for granted that the 1000 year war between the Kalad and Thal Races may have covered a period where the internal combustion engine was king so this would be early on in the conflict perhaps.

I wonder whether or not a Diesel Punk Dalek should be called Dieselek or maybe a Daleksel ... maybe I'm just over thinking this ...

How about calling it a DPD (Diesel Punk Dalek)?

As a quick reference DPD is great ... it could also deliver parcels :)

It could be saved out as a compatible 3d print file but I think but it would need some tweaking. I don't build with scale and tight dimensions plus I bodge some areas simply because I'm only interested in producing an asset I can slap into photshop and murder.

... it might be fun though ;)

Oh that is nice! And I love the idea of file-sharing with 3D printer people (for tweaking and further sharing). Nice  :smiley:

Wouldn't that be a GPOD? I'm seeing it in all-over 'pillar box red' with gold trim, lettering, and royal cypher.

The lower weapon could be replaced with a spigot parcel-launcher. The upper with a loud hailer to issue mysteriously vague yet officious instructions/demands to GPO users. The grappling arm would be retained (dual purpose: (1) angrily thrusting clipboards at customers and (2) snatching subsidies from Whitehall   ;)

Good point. It occurs to me that a parcel catapult could be mounted on the back. That way, the anti-dog MG could be retained.

The custom broom cult is almost as old as the craft itself and broom personalisation has always been actively encouraged among the younger hags of the coven. Today though, and much to the dismay of the old order, it’s all technomancy, short skirts and black eyeliner and since “the incident”  the movement has been getting further and further away from the more traditional besom based arts … it even has its own magazine!





It all began of course at the 2017 All Hallows Eve custom broom show where the now infamous Miss Shock De Phuk (pronounced Deepuck), unveiled and posed with her Hex 1 Draco broom. It caused a sensation and even appeared as the centre spread of the October edition of street broom.

Shock had been on something of a mission as the previous year Phantasia Camshaft-prism, princess of the divine sprocket and mistress of the thing that nobody cares to remember, took first place at the All Hallows Eve custom broom show.  Phantasia’s tricked out double over head besom and mystery paint job just blew everyone away … except for Shock who was too busy having an envy melt down.

Shock was very good at envy. She had a jealousy PHD with associated honours in relentless discontent in others achievements and luck.  At the time she had been very proud of how she handled this episode. Her summoning of the green eyed monster was right on the mark but she may have gone a tad over the top with the Phytoplasma. Not one broom in 50 miles, including her own, got away without infection.

Anyway, this year things were going to be different. Screw besom based technology she was done with all that. Honestly, who really wants to zip about on a domestic cleaning implement?  They are notoriously unreliable, quirky and let’s face it; a girl just doesn’t need those splinters.

It was time to leave the past behind and get with the 21st century. After all, her phase inverted hunting dildo had gone down a storm with the coven. No, she was going to usher in a new era at the show this year and some of those witch’s were going to get burned!

Having  started her own company, Coven Customisations, Miss De Phuk regularly produces award winning designs the latest of which is her serpentine- turbojet based stick “Snakey” featured in this month’s  Full Moon Ryder magazine.

And, of course, the squeaky operation of that manual Armstrong Whitworth turret would ultimately evolve into R2D2's familiar form of communications.  Good on ya,  Gramps  :smiley:

The Hex 1 is my fave too.
There is a rumour that retro motive power is all the trend nowadays so maybe some Merlin powered sticks could be on the horizon ... or a big radial perhaps ...

I was there at the cinema watching it ... where the hell did all that time go?
