Nancy Sims, a librarian and "proto-lawyer," made these absolutely wonderful egg-Daleks for a friend's birthday, fully documenting the build and putting it online so that you can make one too.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    HOWTO Make a Dalek Egg

    Man, when I think of all the time I wasted trying to get a boy Dalek and a girl Dalek “in the mood”….

    I once made Dalek eggs for my bento.

    Fantastic!
    Now my own creations have a foe worth fighting the supermarket shelves for. Thanks for the ideal opportunity to show off these eggs I did a few years ago (although I do need to do an eleventh – damn you Matt Smith)

    Of course, the dalegg will have to deal with the cyberhen before they can truly dominate the universe.

    Hey, that’s me! Still a librarian, hopefully (I find out April 15 if I passed the bar) soon to actually be a lawyer.

    Glad people are enjoying this. :)

      Eggcellent work, Nancy.

  • Felton

    Okay, I just made myself groan.
