How to Make a Dalek out of Legos

Daleks are extraterrestrial creatures from the popular British television series "Doctor Who." These robot-like creatures gained popularity during the airing of the science fiction show and are still popular today among science fiction aficionados. You can build a simple Dalek out of Legos, although more complex Lego versions require less common Lego pieces that you may need to specially purchase from a Lego store or website.
