Looks pretty slick so far.
The panels on the lower half look kind of soft. Maybe they'd be better as separate objects resing on the surface of the base?
Something to consider. Dr. Who got its start in the 1960s when the space race got underway. This may have influenced Raymond Cusick who actually designed the Daleks for Terry Nation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek
Exterminate! Love Daleks. Best robot/creature things ever! Well at least until Optimus Prime came around . I agree with carlg about the panels on the bottom. Nice work so far.

Unfortunately, my hopes of speed modelling this in an evening are dashed - as I've forgotten I have other plans.

Take a look at this:

I am of the opinion that Sputnik 3 is the true father of the Daleks, even as the Vostok is the first Sontaran spacecraft. Voctok is still made BTW as a satellite shell (FOTON)
Just don't do a 3d of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dallek
