Not exactly the same, but I got this the other day from a garden centre.



One of those things with a spike on the bottom that you stick in plant pots. It cost about £1.50 and is made of lightweight resin.

I know it's not quite right, but a good place to start, maybe? If you could find one that was a bit rougher cast and could have some bits added to it with putty, it might work?

I've got an idle teenage son but he doesn't look like that unfortuntely, otherwise you could have him.

Oh sorry you said IDOL! My mistake.  :oops:  :lol:

Maybe remove the horns from this one? Although the hoofed feet might not be the effect you're after!

How about Monolith ?
They have a variety of  statues including Dark Ages idols & Cthulhuesque ones.

A fat bhudda style statue from a garden centre would be quite good if you have that in Germany.

I've got one in my Garden. Its too massive for wargaming but if they did a smaller one it would look very similar.
