Good work on the tail, hk. Is that "just" strips of GS around miliput?
Did you use any helpful tricks?

It's a sign of things to come, and actually fits with the theme of my next project, a Nagash Diorama with the rising of undead legions.

Thanks, and yes it is green stuff around milliput, but i think if I had to do another one I'd use a different technique, as this was quite time consuming. Next time I'd try sculpting the tail in one piece, sanding it smooth, cutting it into sections, then glue them all back together with small plastic card spacers in between each of the sections.

As promised here are the first shots of the assembled Vault, it's only tacked together so far and no where near finished,
Plus there's still a lot more pieces to add, but at least it gives you some idea .
I look at this and imagine some kind of energy field or projections coming off those guardians.

Don't worry there will be a lot of scarabs, two or three hundred at least

The Guardian is actually the big guy in the middle, the smaller ones are the leech's,
but I like the energy field idea, I imagine that the Guardian creates a field that holds the C'tan in place
and the Leech's keep it maintained and at full strength.

I don't think EPIC quite encompasses this project.

Legendary, perhaps?
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

My apologies for the lack of updates these last few months, but I'm back on this project now and determined to get it finished .
I've even got myself a copy of the new codex to help me right a back story for the vault, and build a new Necron army themed around the Nightbringer.
As for Project updates, I have done a little more work on the Vault Platform, where the Canpotek Guardian and Nightbringer will eventually stand.
I'm waiting on a few extra bits to arrive, but I hope to have more to show you soon .
How did you do the grooves in the white plastic parts?

I marked all the lines in pencil first, then scored them with a craft knife. This gives me a guide I can use
to run a pointed sculpting tool down in order to widen them slightly. After that you just need to clean up
the edges of the grooves with a knife.

Subject: Re:Necron Tesseract Vault Conversion WIP: Update - lots of little scarabs
That is so cool! The flow of scarabs looks really natural and organic(apart from the fact they are metal death machines obviously) and as soon as I saw it I was reminded of the Mummy and its beetles. Which I assume is the imagery you want to evoke no?

See, whenever I try that I always end up with wonky lines. must try harder... or maybe be more gentle...
Good work on the scarabs.
