Dave's Daleks

Dave Duca

"Dave Duca from Oconto WI, is an announcer for their local Radio Station, and enjoys the many ambitions in the Community and Events. Born in Green Bay, Dave's hobbies and interests go anywhere from astronomy, shortwave radio, rotary cam engines, UAVs, and Bread Pudding. He finds it fascinating, taking things apart to figure out how they work. "Anything from a simple space shuttle to a complex door knob....will do" His fort'e is literally anything autonomous, including Daleks. He goes on to say that, these Kaled Creature Machines are a wonderful exercise in frugal budgets and recycling. "...it's amazing what a person can make in a McGyyver State of Mind..." These past few years of making Daleks with my good friend Michael has enhanced everything so much more. "...Attending Conventions as a proper Dalek, has earned a greater interest in the younger set, than I ever could've imagined..." he says. Mike Glielmi, residing in Holland Town WI. is a mechanical designer of wide experience. Born in Chicago Ill., he fell in love with all things sci-fi well before he attended school. Science fiction and fantasy are ever present in the warp and woof of his life. Dr. Who has, for a very long time, been the golden threads in that weave. Then Mike once dared to ask his very good friend Dave Duca, a kindred spirit in all things Whovian, if Dave would consider making a Dalek for the purposes of attending conventions. Mike was already an avid attender of many conventions, often showing up at such events in costume. “What better costume than a Dalek?” Mike thought. Little did the unsuspecting resident of Holland Town know how such a question would “Release the hounds!” The hounds have not stopped running since! In the years after that fateful question, Daleks have been flying from Dave’s residence of “Porchwood” at a dizzying pace. Now, Mike also has been creating Daleks from his residence in Holland Town. Wisconsin is soon to be over-run with the children of the “Cult of WISkaro” the Name Dave and Mike have coined for the group of Dalek creators. The goal of the “Cult of WISkaro” is to build the most life-like, fully operational Daleks ever seen anywhere. (With a few surprises along the way!) By doing this we hope to greatly enhance the Dr. Who experience for all the fans, and promote all things Dr. Who, the greatest Science fiction genre’ ever conceived!
