About Dalek Amber
Amber the cat with Dalek Amber's Eyestalk
Builders
Dalek Amber is being built by, Thomas Edwards, Paul Bonnefoy, Paul Shaw, Tim Thomas, Vince Martyn and Edward Graham.
Name
The reason why Dalek Amber is called Amber is because it is named after my owners cat. Project Dalek Amber was set in motion after an event by Charity Dalek Squad back in 2010 under the name Sec. However the project was semi abandoned until another Charity Dalek Squad event in November 2011 which helped kickstart the project with the Dalek being renamed to Amber to make it more personal and special. Amber the cat was put to sleep sadly on Saturday 13th October 2018 after suffering from a tumour. This was one week after Dalek Amber was complete on Saturday 6th October 2018, and a week before the Dalek's first event on Saturday 20th October 2018.

Design
I was a big fan of the 2005 redesign of the Daleks (NSD) and I thought that it would be a good design for my Charity Dalek, during the course of the construction phase, we decided to make Amber a hybrid custom New Series Dalek with custom Green Moflash Lenses for her Dome Light casing, classic style Plunger, and Exterimator Gun. The livery of Amber is also not traditonal of the New Series Dalek as it is classic Silver (Ford Moondust Silver) with Green (Ford Modena Green) Hemispheres, Gun Box Detailing, Neck blocks and Slats, I picked this livery because I wanted Amber to stand out from the other Charity Daleks. Originally the Fender (Base) of Dalek Amber was going to be painted in the traditional black colour scheme, but on the 16th September 2018 we decided it would look best in the Ford Modena Green Livery. |

Amber's Family
Elsie
Dalek Elsie with K9
Dalek Elsie is Dalek Amber's older sister, she was built by Chris Kingbees in 2008, Elsie is one of the main reasons why Dalek Amber exists today. She uterlises the design of the 1967 story "Evil Of The Daleks" which starred Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor.
Elsie was always going to be a charity worker, and her main charity was going to be Last Chance Animal Rescue, so she was given the name LC Dalek the initials of her primary charity, however this sounded like a DJ or rap artist, so LC was nicknamed Elsie and her nickname stuck.
