WG buddy Mike Bell and I have been doing some games around JD in our mixed-genre SF universe Kraken Nebula, as this is one of his favourite character/genres. We've played 2 or 3 games in a narrative-campaign style, and I should have lots of photos of them, and the figures, but I'm damned if I can find them!
I have asked Mike to resend the ones he's taked of the games in progress, and will either or both post ssome here and give links to them on the web.

Looks like the figures are MEGO HEROES. Here is an original advert

Spot on Les.
Found some photos but they are all too big and will need editing down before I can post them.

Yes, I'd love to see more pics also. Those toys are intriguing (oh no, not another project!!!) - are they 54mm? My guess is they're larger.

Yes, they are 60mm 1/30th for sure, but we have mixed in other makes of figures which are more 54mm and it works. And we have them fighting Daleks anyway!
I have the write-up of our latest game, but would prefer to post/link to the story line in sequence, so will wait until I have the earlier stories. Here's a taster - the Daleks Interrogation Chamber with two judges, Margruder and Bell held prisoner and the rescuers arriving and blasting their way in...

Awesome, Mike, thank you! They seem to go for cheap, so I may well have to get me some. And as the proud owner of over 20 Daleks in The True Scale I think you've just given me another idea...

Oh, those pics are awesome. Please post more!
Squinting greedily at the pics you've shared, I'm pleased to see you have some of the same toys I do: I believe the Daleks are the roll-a-matic type - those are the ones I use as well. Great little toys. Then I spy the Emperor Dalek by Eaglemoss in the background of the first photo. Yep, I've got him also, as well are their very nice special weapons Dalek...
I just made some Ogrons by converting Britains plastic gorillas and I'm quite pleased with the result. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to post some pictures.
Your scenery looks fantastic, as always! Just out of curiosity: what rules do you use? Homebrew?

Thanks. More pics on the way...plus a full AAR.
Rules - yes, our own STAR rules, an SF varient of our main rules any scale/period skirmish Tales of Derring-Do! (TODD). STAR (Space, Terrors, Aliens, Robots) have been written specifically for cross-genre games, though they also work for ones set in a single universe.
Don't be fooled by the photos - they have been shopped to lose unwanted details and enhance the scene - CGI for AARs!

Judge Curtis deals with a Dalek...
I am sure you are right about the types, but I am afraid they are all just Daleks to me! I did discover an Empress dalek though.
