It is not always necessary to use simple woodworking projects for kids. The goal is to get them interested in woodworking, not to overwhelm them with it.

All Children loves shapes. A great project is to get a piece of plywood of about 24 inches square and to cut in small, different shapes, either square or triangles and make them fit together like a puzzle. Them make a tray with a small wooden border around it and put all the pieces flat in the tray to hold a puzzle.

Then have the kids paint something on the pieces, such as a house or an animal. You can also have them paint the back of the pieces all the same color and the bottom of the tray. Once the paint is dry, they can mix the pieces and try to redo the puzzle on the tray. Kids will enjoy this kind of project where they can say that they did it all by themselves.

Something very Different from the Shed 28mm Daleks part 1 | Free tool shed plans diy

Something very Different from the Shed 28mm Daleks part 1


The thought occurred to me a few weeks ago that I could add something different to VBCW universe and give the players something different to think about.

Imagine the scenario two sides rushing towards a hill to capture what they think is a downed experimental aircraft from the other side. Conflict ensues between the two forces as both push towards the objective.

Whats happens next is unplanned, a shock and totally alien...from the belly of the downed ship emerge strange noises and shapes followed by that immortal word...Exterminate...

Yes folks Eric the Shed has decided to put together a Dalek Army...

I cant take credit for the discovery of these gems (just google search 28mm Dalek) but for the princely sum of about £30 I have acquired over 80 of these boys. That works out at less than 50p a figure.
Yes they are cheap plastic and yes most of them are the wrong shape (idaleks I believe) but they do look the business. These originally saw life gracing the front cover of a Dr Who magazine for kids.



The following illustrates how I turned mine from horrid plastic toys into one of humanities darkest nightmares.

I wanted my force to giver the impression they were hovering so to fit the dalek I glued a small piece of plasticard to a 25mm washer (also adds weight) and once dry I added some sand for the base.



The dalek was then glued down onto the base and primed all over. Aside from painting those horrid domes these were a doddle to paint. If you are looking to paint a Dalek Army look at this useful tip...

I painted most of mine as standard warriors with a few variations to denote units. The Patrol Style Daleks were painted in various colours to denote leaders.

In terms of rules I was delighted to find that there were some unofficial rules for Daleks using the Bolt Action ruleset - you can download these on a pdf from here (Scroll down the page to find them)

So whats next  - well I have to finish painting about 35 of these and then start on the final 17 I won on ebay earlier this week. At this point I have stopped buying

So if you are bidding for Daleks you know that you are not up against me !


I have also ordered a Davros from Black Tree Designs Doctor Who range along with two of my favourite doctors - Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker (I already own a Tardis). Should Davros be too small Ill cut up one of the plastic ones and do a conversion job.

This should all be done by next weekend so Ill post progress then..

Until next time
