Bronze!

As part of the Gangs of Rome I acquired some of these new fangled Sarissa Precision MDF fountains and statue plinths. Assembly is very simple. I mounted on them a Foundry legate and a mounted Julius Ceasar model.

Then the paints came out. Starting with black undercoat, I dry brushed them in copper, dark gold, light gold then ran a wash of watered mint green. The result looks quite stunning. Very pleased with the result. I know the real statues of the day were painted on top of the bronze casting, however the weathered bronze effect renders them timeless.
