A quick statue

I rummaged around in my box of Reaper Bones figures from the Bones II kickstarter. Lots of useful figs and a couple less so.
One of the ones I thought I would never paint looked suitable for an alternative career, that of a statue.
This is Sir Conlan, Crusader Sergeant sculpted by Bobby Jackson. A true hero of the recent (or not so recent) wars and therefore worthy of a statue.

The ‘plinth’ is from a bottle of floating soap. A good find that really got me started on for this little project.
Painted with Vallejo Iraqui Sand, a wash of Army Painter Strong Tone ink and drybrushed with Iraqui Sand and Pale Sand.

      All in all a 30 minute-job and the plastics-mountain got a little bit smaller. Actually not much of a change at all...

      I'm going for another dive into the plastics mountain to locate more victims of the medusa :-)
      You can't have to many statues

  3. Simple, but effective. Really though, you just want to keep us in suspense about your harbour game, don't you!

  4. Nice work Joakim, statues are things that can have many use's & while I've done some in the pasted on buildings I've never gotten around to doing any free standing one's.

      Statues are good to have as clutter in your games and they are dead easy to make. What's not to lika about them :-)

    1. Thank you, Tamsin!
      Everything that lowers the peak of the plasticsmountain in a short time is a good thing. That miniature was really a very good statue candidate.
