Bill,
Caught me! I actually painted the male hair piece and the Amidala hair
piece. I was debating whether to do this, and decided since I had so many,
one of each wouldn't hurt. After hours (okay....minutes) of grueling mixing
testors paint, I finally found the perfect color. I took the opportunity of
painting a dragon dark gray too (Statue of St. George and the Dragon coming
soon).
The hardest part of the monument was figuring out the best pose/s for Gawain
and the Triceratops. Eventually, I removed the bottom segment from the
dinosaur and flipped him over.
I'm not sure why I included the Ninja and Samurai...I guess I wanted to add
some variety to the statue (the ninja has two left legs which is why he can
do the splits easily).
I've been on this statue/monument kick lately. Will LEGO please come out
with light gray minifig hands?!?!?!
Question to anyone reading this: Would an all black monument look tacky? I
thought I could justify it as obsidian or black marble. Stories could be a
lot more detailed as there are obviously more of a variety and quantity of
minifig and decorative black elements. I've had a few comments that it
wouldn't appear as "real" as the dark gray or light gray statues I've done.

| (...) Hey Kyle, What's the secret to taking the dinosaurs apart? I haven't tried it yet for fear of breaking them. Do you have nay tips for getting the two halves apart from each other without causing permanent damage? Matt (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)
