Hachette Partworks have just launched a 140-issue Doctor Who part work, The Dalek, which will enable very patient (and well heeled) subscribers to build a highly-detailed scale replica modelled on the 2005 ‘Time War Dalek’.
The Dalek is a brand-new partwork collection from Hachette Partworks that gives you everything you need to construct a high-quality 1:2 scale model of the legendary Time War Dalek, complete with remote controlled movement, lights, sound and interchangeable weapons. The accompanying magazine will feature clear step-by-steps instructions plus articles on the history of Doctor Who.
We reckon that if you don’t subscribe, and just bought issues from your newsagent, it would cost you £1650 to complete your Dalek.
Published weekly, the first issue on sale now, Issue 2 available on 3rd April, early subscribers will be entitled to limited edition gifts, such as. TARDIS-inspired mug. (You will only receive these gifts if you subscribe from issue 1, 2, 3 or 4 by 7th July 2024).
