For a competition i am hosting, you can win points by modeling a few objectives. Two of the objectives are made from bits i got of an “Imperial sector”. The other one, an obelisk i build from scratch. The obelisk was made from plastic card. First i drew the the obelisk on the plastic card. And cut it out with a pair of scissors. You can see here i drew the picture horizontal, i suggest you draw it diagonally. The obelisk will get higher this way. The sides are approximately 1,5 cm and the height is approximately 5 cm. If you are going to do this aim for a height of 7 cm.
The folding lines i scoured with a knife. and then i folded the obelisk together. It seemed my cuts in the plastic where to deep. The plastic card broke in the lines, and i still had several loose parts. When gluing it together it became a bit messy. A little filing and greensuff should be able to correct most holes. 
Now for the basing of the model. This was relative easy. just a little superglue and some sand. I added a loose scarab to guard the obelisk. You can also see my other two smaller objectives. A Necron warrior slumped against a wall, and a lamp post with a pile of skulls. (not too visible in this picture).
The next step is basecoating. 
Now for the real painting. I dry brushed the base with a custom color Grey. The obelisk was painted a dark color green, and the edges i highlighted with jade green. I added some transfers from the Necron transfer sheet, and i was done. The other objectives where a little more work due to the different colors i used. (pictures of the finished objectives will follow shortly
