I Just want to repeat myself on this matter:

I don't understand why everyone has to make the Obelisk a very complex design. It always looked good as a scorpion shape-like tail coming out of the ground, not looking like a stupid plunger or anything like it does in TS. Your model doesn't look bad, don't get me wrong, but I've always had a grudges against the shape of obelisks. Simple and sweet, it's the way it's should be.
The Model does look fantastic, but the design for a defensive structure is a bit ridiculous. Out of all the obelisks I've ever seen, Including fan made ones, my favorite is the Obelisk of Darkness from firestorm (Apart from it's color scheme), Simple because It's got a simple design as a defensive structure should have (Think RA1 Flame tower). If the Base Is going to be that large, I think that the tip should be a bit taller.
