One of the most memorable moments of the Doctor Who reboot came early, with the episode Dalek. It's also one of my favorite episodes, so when one of my Cult of Skaro miniatures suffered some surface damage during assembly, I knew what I'd do with it.
The Dalek on show is heavily damaged, with cracks in its casing and a great deal of wear and tear on the surface. I replicated the cracks with scored lines, in several places bending the plastic back from a gash or, once on each side, applying copy paper to a gouge to represent the peeling Dalekanium.
I also applied washes and liberal amounts of drybrushing to the surface, as the prototype is covered in dirt, dust and even verdigris around some of the hemis (or balls) and eyestalk.
I'm very pleased with how it's turned out- now I just need to write a scenario pitting him against 9th Doctor and Rose!

Very nice and true to the photo of the episode I just Googled.
