Default Town square statue

This is the new one I'm working on...

Every town square should have a place for Oktoberfest...I know our town did!

The bottom and piller will be painted..either like concrete (lighter than my usual though) and the top and figure Bronzish. I'm thinking the guy might be too small; he is a 1/35 scale french resistance fighter.

We'll see, I can always rip him off.

Looks good, but I doubt there where any statues of french resistance fighters until after the war.

Good idea Dennis..how about a fountain too :P
If paint him stone color and he could be anyone, a founding father of the town we are ransacking
You may want to put a spike on the bottom to stop wayward tanks from knocking it over.

Paul,

good idea on the spike...I'll kind of do like I did for the dragon's teeth...coat hanger.

I actually "bronzed" him...I'll post a pic later, I'm drybrushing the base before posting. A fountain was the original plan for this one, but I was looking in my Germany book and saw so many statues, I changed gears.

Later,

Dennis

Still working on it...I put some chalk on but it overpowered the gray...I'll be scrubbing most off.

Later,

Here are some shots of our "Town Square" The fountain was an of the shelf item (21st Century???) The plumbing was provide by SD Steve. He added a reservoir, pump, battery and magnetic switch. The little block to the side of the fountain is the magnet that controls the pump. Hopefully Steve took some shots of the underside. Otherwise, details will have to wait till the next battle day.

That fountain is soooo cool! My wife just gave me the pump to her outside (small) fountain...I feel a conversion coming on.

Later,
