I have the Raiders supplement with its various and sundry ways to build a Monolith, but there aren't many details given for the plasticard scratch build. Has anyone made a template that can be used for making more accurate cuts than just "winging it"?

Hmmmm.... problematic:

Have: plasticard.
Don't have: discretionary $$.

Believe me, I'd much rather benefit from someone's hard work instead of doing it myself. I just don't have the funds to spare at the moment.  :sad:

well you could consider takeing a piece of plasticard and writing MONOLITH on it till you get the funds ?  :laugh:
sorry, couldnt resist, alternatively you could p.m. jonluke and see if he has any notes or drawings he would be willing to share from his own construction process.

Gee... thanks, guys.  :glare: LOL!

I did find the Paperhammer blog with links to a number of templates; I'm going to try scaling this one and building it out: Paperhammer Necron templates

There are also templates for a number of other vehicles/races, in case any other poor people want to do something similar: Paperhammer main page - scroll to bottom for templates

I have a resin mold for casting Monoliths... Obelisks too.

Even for the core section for my Pylon.

If anyone is interested...  I don't actually need the molds anymore.

I agree. Looking around at what I can sell off (ouch) to pick up a few, as well as a couple of Ottery-type euro symbols.  :O
