SONIC BOON: PROGRESS ON MY DALEK DISINTEGRATOR MOCK-UP

I've made some progress on my DIY Lincoln International mock Dalek Disintegrator.

The old Black and Decker hot are gun has been partly re-shaped with thick card tubing. The threaded pipe has been sawn down and moved forward. A milk bottle handle has been added. A coke can metal ring has been inserted and a final capping with some plastic bits including a tiddlywinks pot op top.

The white topper is half a milk bottle sprayed white. Its not stuck on yet.

Some final touches to come are to glue the white panel down, add the name of the toy to it and finally decide on some repro packaging with Bill the box art master.

What do you think so far readers?

Here's an original toy in all its fabulous glory!

There are many versions of this design but the Dalek Sonic Disintegrator is a rare toy and information is scant. Was it an American release? Did it make a sound and light up? Did it fire darts? Any clue readers?

    1. What, one of the best toys or one of the best mock-ups? I adore the toy itself and its only pipped by the fabulous Batman Freeze Ray version of it all in dark blue.
