After having been amazed by Jes Goodwin's Necron concept sketches on GW's site, and scratchbuilding my own "Obelisk" transport/tank in 28mm scale before the Monolith nor Necron miniatures even hit the stores, I decided to give Epic scale a try for another 'Jes' concept-to-model... this time in metal (scrap copper wire of dif. gages, copper sheet, solder and cy-glue.) Painting starts today. Comments are welcome. Thank you. Will

Thank you everyone. Just added the three prong weapon tips and "floating crystal" to the top of the altar. Pics will follow when finished painting.

Warmaster Nice: Electronics Tech. by trade. Just thought I would try metals. I have done plastic in 28mm scale. Here's an example from another of Jes' Necron concepts, his War Tank ( the forerunner to the Monolith ) is my "Obelisk" tranport/tank. The Chaos marine just there for scale.

I like your War Barque/Obelisk! Did you use a 40K monolith to make it?

Sturmeister: Nope... entirely scratchbuilt from sheet styrene and other odd Plastistrut shapes. Nothing on it is GW bits... including the "driver" oarsman. It took two days to build/paint(about 8 hr.s total ) and was completed about 2 months before the first Necron mini. hit the stores here in the U.S. I just liked the concepts that were posted on the site before the army was released. I was half way thru a monolith build when GW beat me to it. :/

The Epic War Altar is painted now  :D I just need to base it and snap a digi-pic. Will post later tonight. It took about 8 hr.s also, but that includes the time of reassembly... I dropped it on the hard floor. I found all of the pieces thankfully.
