Nine-year-old Thomas Jennings was thrilled when one of his creations was featured in The Yorkshire Post.

Young Thomas, who first became fascinated with building things as a Duplo-obsessed toddler, is using coding and computer skills to bring his models to life.

Thomas has made a metre tall model of Doctor Who’s most famous adversary, the Dalek from card board sheets, tubes, and domed coffee cup lids.

Thomas will be displaying his wacky creations for sale at an event at Romanby WI Hall on January 8, with all proceeds made going towards the transport fees for his year’s residential school trip to East Barnby near Whitby.
