Just thought that I would show a few of the events I have taken Larry the dalek to.

This was at Bicester in 2013. I was so excited because it was the first ever time he'd ever been out of the house. After this, I took him to a park open day (quite a strain on the old legs, I did an entire circuit on long grass, while in character and surrounded by excited kids!) of which I have no photos.

Then, he went to Smallspace model show in Hanslope. This was held by Mat Irvine, who created many of the props in doctor who throughout the 70s and early 80s. There's one person who's verbal appreciation of Larry has warmed my heart and built my confidence.

While I was there, I had a few of my other doctor who prop replicas on display- namely my self knitted season 18 doctor who scarf, classic sonic screwdriver, work in progress cybermats, sea devil mask and classic Tardis key (the only replica that I had not made myself). Also, there was my original BBC Adipose prototype that was measured to create the computer models- one of the three in existence.

Towards the end, I had a chat with other doctor who prop enthusiasts. Most were not quite as keen on building things from scratch as I was, preferring to use ready made moulds. However, I mentioned that next year I intended to have an Ice warrior costume completed by then. This was treated with an air of "I wouldn't like to be in your shoes" by the others, but one man said that he owned an Ice warrior chest from the original moulds. Exchanging contacts, I went on my way home.

I got no reply from him in the end, though I wasn't particularly bothered by this. My project continued all the same...
