I like these, they are priced right and the detail is okay, there is a nice weight to the plinths.
Adolf works well in Cathryn's Berlin 38.
I would like to see some marble effect statues in the future.
I took advantage of the recent promotion, spend $300 USD and receive a free Napoleon, can you ever have to many Napoleons.

As a collection they look ok, not sure as a dio builder you need this many. Good to see them altogether so collectors can make choices. Thanks for sharing. Robin.

It'd be relatively easy to convert one of the existing ones. I'd buy an extra, and hit it with some Tamiya surface primer. I'd probably use the white, and then apply some very light grey washes into the relief, to provide some shading. Then, depending on the dio, whether the statue is installed indoors or outdoors, I might weather it. For example, if I were to use it for an outdoor scene, in a city, I might drybrush some darker grays, up to charcoal gray, to depict the effects of motor vehicle exhaust, and maybe some greens here and there to represent the fine lichen and molds, etc, that find places to grow on such objects.

Prost!
Brad
