Thanx Dale! What I didn't realize is that the light from the flash reflected back from the flat surfaces and made them appear much lighter than they really are. I wanted them to have a metallic look, but dark, so they have a wash of purple ink, then green. So it appears that if I keep them out of the direct light, I get what I want. Still, their recognizable as Monoliths and that was the goal. _________________ Honda "Remember Taros? We do" - 23rd Elysian Drop Regiment |

Shucks, well, thanks! I wanted these to be easy to reproduce as I might end up making another 6 - 12 more. The real work was in figuring out what they ought to look like given the available materials and also create something that other people could replicate without too much effort. So in case others haven't figured out yet (because I know that there are people who are good at this kind of thing): 1. Two GW 2 cm stands one on top of each other to make the rectangle 2. Some rectangular plastic rod for the "arms" 3. One big glass bead for the top 4. A WFB shield that is the "suspender" of the big bead, IOW, the big glass bead sits on it 5. Four smaller plastic beads for the arms. Pretty simple really and you can paint them up any which way you want. I decided that I wanted the Monoliths and Obelisks to have the same treatment, so black basecoat, drybrush with Boltgun, including the little jewels, purple ink, then green ink. The big jewel got a coat of thinned Dark Angels Green as did the little jewels, then I did a drybrush on the edges of the big jewel with Mithril Silver, then another thin coat of Dark Angels Green. _________________ Honda "Remember Taros?
