I've provided some links to photos of my current project. For some reason I cannot get them to show up in the thread using the img button. I have feature on the way, but thought I'd provide a sneak peek and would love comments and feedback.

Very intriguing David!
You seem to have tied everything together with those leaves. Lots of colour, and well weathered. Look forward to the feature.

Very interesting, you've got my attention. The statues are very interesting and the purple flowers splash a nice touch of color.

Thank you for the kind words. The feature I've written (which will be posted soon) covers the questions, except for the one about the leaves. Which where purchased in bag, I think from greatmodels.com that is where I get most of my stuff. I put them in a small plastic cup and soaked them in thinned clear acrylic gloss which made them sticky and then I put them down with a paint brush. I wanted them to have a damp look, that's why I glued them down with thinned acrylic gloss.

Great! It's very life-like!. I love what you've done with the statue - color is perfect.
Post some more pics as soon as you can!
