Using some more PVC foam, cut out some strips about 4cm's wide and long enough to go around the entire base of the Dalek. I didn't have any foam long enough to go all the way around in 1 peace, so I had to use 2 shorter lengths per layer. Cut enough to make 3 layers to make the complete bumper. 1 layer at a time, pipe some grab adhesive down the center length of one side of the foam, and apply to the sides of the base under the skirt panels, gently squeezing it on, insuring it is straight all the way around. You will have a few minutes to do this before the adhesive begins to set. Do the same to the 2nd and 3rd layers waiting about 1/2 hour between layers. The foam is light enough so it shouldn't slip down. Hemispheres. Starting from the top of the skirts, you will need one sphere per panel, with the exception of the larger side panel which will have two. Simply apply a small blob of grab adhesive to the flat side of the spheres in the middle. Then gently press them to the middle of each small skirt panel, and two side by side on the two larger panels. Work your way around doing every panel. Insure that all the spheres are level with each other, gently sliding any in to place that need to be repositioned.
This part is a bit of trial and error. I needed to cut out a circle of the center of the now shaped cardboard to fit over the turret of the tank, and leave enough room for the turret to move freely with no obstruction, as the gap between the chassis and turret was not completely flat. So cut small to start then cutting more where needed to avoid cutting out to much cardboard and making it weaker. As seen in the photo, I did not cut out a circle but rather cut to shape of the protruding body parts of the tank and helping make the base level. Get hold of the grab adhesive and squeeze out a thin piping along the outside of the supports (Only do half of the struts at a time) then carefully place the outer panel on to the struts, gently squeeze together, moving the panel if you need to before it sets. You will have a few minutes to do this before it does set. If (like I had) your 2 outer panels overlap, not to worry. Simply add a bit more adhesive and overlap them. Then finish off by rubbing a little more adhesive over the seams to make a smooth finish.

A small note, when applying the adhesive around the lower chest and band (seen in photos) use a small screwdriver or something to clean out any adhesive between the 2, because you don't want these to be a flush fit and want the band to stand out a little (which will be more noticeable after painting. And if you were wondering how I got Dalek BOB to shoot a laser (as seen in a couple of photos), It not CGI, photo editing or anything like that. Quite simply, I used a translucent green drinking straw fitted to the end of the green LED. A bit of fun but I hope you'll agree, quite effective. My only wish was that the bulb was a bit brighter. Oh well. Grab yourself another peace of corrugated cardboard. You will now want to make similar to what you did for the base plate, only smaller, with different measurements to almost form a hexagon type shape and cutting a hole in the middle for the center tube axle to fit through. Here are the measurements I ended up using. Now this will require a little trial and error, but can be done before any adhesive is used. Using 2 of the struts, position and then fix to the base on the rear 2 corners. Make sure with all the support struts, the turret has enough clearance to fully rotate without obstruction. When the glue has set, position the top plate you cut out and glue to the top tabs of the support struts.
If you did think the support struts wouldn't be strong enough, When the grab adhesive fully sets, the outer panels will now strengthen the support struts making it nice and sturdy.

Squeeze the foam and lid in to one side of the pens for a solid fit. Glue together if you wish. And it's done To help make it clearer, the measurements can also be seen on the in-photo information. When the sides are marked out and your happy that both left and right sides look equal,, cut out the template.The attention to detail is nothing short of crazy (but then Character Option have a habit of going that extra mile). Even before you switch it on (and hear the sounds and see how many different lighting effects it has) it looks like a work of art. The latest Doctor Who themed toy from Character Options is one of the best value items the company has released so far - it's also one of the most entertaining.
