That is very good.
It has inspired me to get a pill box(a Warbases one) for something similar (plus Quatermass*).

The further along I got into reading the episode reviews, the more I got convinced scriptwriters did drugs. A lot of drugs.

Though at first I thought you meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Quatermain

Main.....Mass.....close enough

That is very nice! I love how you take something and re-purpose it, fancy it up, weather it, and it looks like a real thing!

Thx Mike! More to come :)

I found this statue I made for my 20mm Stalker stuff back in the age of the dinosaurs. I stripped off the beech seeds and replaced them with my current leaves technique. I have no idea where the model came from, it is metal, 1/35 and that is all I remember. Base is a few MDF discs stacked together covered with filler, and sanded.

Good enough, now on with the rest of the stuff.

I love seeing and building statues as dressing for the gaming table, although I would alwayys weather bronze to the limit - particularly if it was a remnant in a deserted area of a post apocalytic radiation zone like yours...  :D
From my point of view it is only shiny if regularly touched or climbed on (like it's the case in playgrounds, parks or anywhere else, where it is not protected artistic exhibition.

Well the figure looks to have a ww2 army uniform so pick a name - quite a few women were recognised and may have had statues - Maria Oktyabrskaya of "Fighting Girlfriend" fame was the first I thought of but there are many others.

You are of course quite correct....but I just could not be bothered with this one. I have a few more unpainted statues to go and thoe will get that treatment
