This project is a slow burn, but I just know it's going to blow everybody's minds when it's done.

EPIC build !!

I'm subbed to witness the continued awesomeness.

Well, I've officially found the BEST thing

I haven't been able to get too much done this week, as RL has a nasty habit of interrupting you just when your getting started .

I did manage to complete most of the interior detailing for the four Vault corners,
and have continued with the theme of damaged of deactivated Necrons being stored in the Vaults alcoves,
and although quite time consuming, it has been one of the most fun parts of this project so far.

I still have a few more bits and pieces to add like extra cables and wiring, some Scarab Hive's, and of course lots of Scarabs.
I'm also working on a background story for the Vault which will explain many things,
including the reason for the Necron Corpse's, why this particular Vault was constructed and by who.

I'm seeing that you've updated, but can't see the update.

I really like the wrecked necrons stashed in the corners.

yeh just stash them in the corner for later, they are just warriors we to busy doing nothing to bother about them

Sorry for the temporary break down of this thread, and for the multiple copy's of the same post
But it should all be working fine now, and I hope to have another update for you soon

It's good however many times we see it.

I like the one that's sitting up and thinking "what happenend, where am I...?".

So.... when you're done.... can I have it?

You can buy it of me if you want, for a million billion gagillion pounds,
I actually did the maths on this and that's the exact amount

Yawser - this is truly amazing stuff. Expect me to steal at least 100 ideas for my AdMech.
Those stash/graveyard corners are simply breathtaking - and we even got to enjoy them several times

I saw him as sitting there watching T.V. Until he got repaired and screaming in his robotic old man voice "Stella get me a can of WD40K"

Awesome.. Nice that each panel tells a unique story. Great detail.

My apologies for the lack of updates recently, been working on sculpting the Canoptek Gaurdain a new tail,
and it's slow going .

In the meantime I thought I'd show you the Canoptek Drones I've just finished.
You could call them repair drones or maybe just really big Scarabs, either way they'll be scuttling about the vault
Doing whatever it is Canoptek Drones do .

The Four Drones where built almost entirely out of the parts from three Canoptek Wraiths,
with maybe enough parts left over to build a fifth, which I'm not sure I'll need yet, but you never know.

Very cool - always loved crawling machines

Well the big thingy is AMAZING, and will be one of those pieces we all ogle at for years, saying" Just amazing man!"

But I do love these little bits you keep throwing out on the side, they look great. You are the first to get me interested in a Crony army. ( Must resist.) These guys look brilliant, and fun, and scary all at once.

Most excellent .. what are you usihg to make your cables?

I'm using Green Stuff and a Green Stuff World Tenticle maker, which for some reason is now called a Roll Maker,
no idea why .

Sorry for the messy pic.

looks like they released a new version not long after I bought mine (the shape of the pieces is the same just clear plastic).

Drones look very nice! thats a cool use of the wraiths, what are you going to use them as?
Also isn't there a lot more to the wraith kits than that?

Must get .. now.. where to purchase!

Great project, dude. This is how the model should look like

The Drones look great

It bothers me slightly that I had pretty much the same reaction

I see the tentacle maker, but my brain can't grasp the concept of how it works...

You roll a sausage of green stuff and then that between the plates. At 45 degree, you get axe handles, twist for rope, etc. I love my tube tool...

The Drones are just for decoration, something to add a little more detail to the vault.
Yes there are still quite a few bits left over, the wraith tails for one plus a few extra body panels,
which I'm sure I'll find a use for eventually.

Update:

As for progress on the vault I have spent the last few days sculpting a new tail for the Canoptek Guardian,
as I just didn't like the way the other one looked.
The new tail is basically a scaled up version of a canoptek Wraith Tail, and still needs a few finishing touches.

Now so far you've only seen individual pieces of this project, but soon I'll be doing some mock assembly's
and tacking everything together so I can work out the next phase of the build.
When I do this I'll post some pics, so you can get a rough idea of what the Vault will look like when finished .
