Title: Roman Statues
Post by: Michi on July 24, 2009, 11:20:52 PM

Once upon a time there was a fine warrior.
Actually she had been the finest the ancient world had ever seen.
Her name got lost, but her reputation remained.
The Romans had erected a memorial to honour her.



Short after dawn the eternal sentinel stands guard by the side of the road between Rome and Ostia.

A few minutes later the bright sun breaks through and lights the morning.
The guard does not move a bit.

And there she stands as tall and brave like a thousand times thousand sunsets before:
The best of all - PRIMA OMNIA.

Some very interesting looking statues there - wonder who modelled for them ?

Very nice work.  But around the 300th picture it started to seem just a trifle gratuitous.

Are these 54 mm figures? Did you paint these? If so, the weathered copper has been done very nicely...excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

I like them too, but 3-5 pics would have been enough for me too! ;) ;)

Oooh, you scallywag ;)

Tell you what, I wouldn't mind a lifesize pair of those gladiator girlies on a plinth in my back garden  :-*

They'd go a treat in my shrubbery.
Such lovely verdigris.

Hey, we had to pester an old woman for that shubbery, you know.

And did I hear someone say blue footed boobies? Nice weathering job, by the way.
