Title: Temple of Hecate, the triple goddess (WIP pics 25/03)
Post by: Christian on March 22, 2012, 12:13:52 AM
Hi everyone,

I am currently building an Ancient Greek temple, which I'm really excited about. I've no photos as yet, but what I was after was a statue or figure of Hecate, the triple goddess.

Something like this would be great:

If there is nothing like it available, I might need to make one... but would rather avoid it!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Maybe a long shot but you could use Prieser figures, you know, the railway ones. They come in a multitude of different poses, scales, dress types etc. I've used them before to good effect. They take a bit of conversion work but the plastic they are moulded from is easily workable.

This what I used them in.

cheers

I was also thinking of using the Crooked Dice living statues as a basis for conversion... maybe a bit small for the statue itself, but great for an encounter on the steps of the temple. I will have a photo up this weekend.

Having said that, a nice little pendant like the one you posted might be ticket, Alex.

I'll keep searching!

This one comes in a conveniently 4" tall variant, too.

Hi guys, here is a quick snap of the temple in progres. I am getting this ready for display at Conquest (Melbourne) over the Easter long weekend, so not long to go now!

Looks good, Christian, where are the columns from?

They're from a cake shop on ebay. It was difficult to find columns that were in any style other than Corinthian (later era, more details on the capital), and I can't seem to find any trace of them now.

I usually search for "cake columns" on ebay and find loads of them.

Here's a great find: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-WILTON-5-White-Plastic-Roman-Greek-Columns-Cake-Decorating-/350551151324?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519e7a12dc

Might consider bidding on them my self!  lol

Very useful stuff. Let me know if you aren't going to bid on them, then I will try.

No it's okay, you go ahead! :) I have extras at home and won't need these. They are a great deal so I hope you win! Can't wait to see what you do with them.
