So this is our attempt to determine the fate of the Dalek props which appeared on screen. For a complete breakdown of everything here, visit Dalek6388.co.uk, but for a simple overview this is all you need to understand the development of the Dalek props down the years.
This does not illustrate the mixing of components that went on during serials, e.g. if there is a Dalek that is half film-style and half original, with another prop being the opposite, this diagram may instead show one complete film-style prop and one complete original. This is not a definitive guide as much of the history of the Dalek props is confusing and mysterious with some conjecture thrown in!
The Daleks - Four props built. One has thin lower collar, at least one other has screws inside gunboxes.
