* [[Shawcraft Models]] — who had designed parts of the TARDIS set — worked with Raymond Cusick to design the Daleks; when Cusick met with Shawcraft's [[Bill Roberts]] to discuss the project, he used a pepper pot to demonstrate the Daleks' movements. The prototype (known internally as "Shawcraft One") had a wooden base, with the skirt section made using fibreglass. It stood at four-foot six-inches, allowing a small seated actor inside. The BBC approved of Shawcraft's designs, allowing three weeks for the final models. | * [[Shawcraft Models]] — who had designed parts of the TARDIS set — worked with Raymond Cusick to design the Daleks; when Cusick met with Shawcraft's [[Bill Roberts]] to discuss the project, he used a pepper pot to demonstrate the Daleks' movements.
