A DOCTOR Who fanatic is building his very own Dalek to keep in his living room.
Iain Brownlie, 36, from Sandalwood Road, Westbury, is studying for a library and information degree at Aberystwyth University for his job as library assistant at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster. But in his spare time he escapes into the sci-fi world of Dr Who.
Mr Brownlie said: "I've always wanted a Dalek. It's the ultimate thing to have for a Dr Who fan.
"It's in the garage at the moment while I'm building it but hopefully it will be going in the living room. My family think I'm a bit mad.
"I'm using MDF, plastic and fibreglass to build it, but it's having the time and the money because I'm on a tight budget as I'm studying for a degree at the moment."
Mr Brownlie also has plans for a Dr Who tattoo on his back.
He said: "I've had a couple of Dr Who tattoos. I had two of the 70s logos on both arms. One was done a couple of weeks ago and I got the other about six months ago. They cost £70 each."
Although he has been a fan for nearly 30 years Mr Brownlie believes the current doctor is one of the best.
