It's a shame, the only GW part of this is the necron symbol. Other than that it's a completely legal design that could be sold openly on a website. I was tempted to leave it off for that reason. Technically I could still shave it off.

that's a good idea, if not too late you should take it off so you can sell it.

I will mould it up with the symbol on for the use of my friends and I, but may scrape it off and remould at a later date for public sale.

What will the price for the one you put on sale be?

That version will likely cost £2.50.

I don't know my Egyptology, but the Necron logo is incredibly close to a modified Ankh.  Is it not close enough for reasonable doubt?

Just a thought.

Having studied middle egyptian and hieroglyphics rather extensively, I'd say that it's no where near close enough to the Ankh symbol. Outside of the circle and vertical line extending down from it there aren't enough similarities.

There's no way I'd risk selling it openly with the symbol still in place. Private trades with my friends are another matter.

Gah, well it was a nice thought anyway.  Happy to bow to superior knowledge!

Anyone requiring information on Transformers, drum kits or procrastination...well, you know where to get hold of me.    :grinning:

Moulded. Quickly painted up the first reasonable cast:







I should be able to start making some for friends very soon.
