Michael,

That is just superb!  Just a thought, but do you think the grey in the painting is simply shadow, at least for the column, if not the base? The base is very interesting, with the chipped areas being much lighter.  Either way, I want one, and I want it now!  :D :D

It's a difficult one, isn't it. The chipped areas are definitely a sandstone colour like the top but wouldn't they be in shadow, too? Perhaps despite allowing the rest of the monument to go to ruin, the locals got up a ladder and gave the crucifix a good scrub!  :)

Its very cool - while based on a particular real monument, its the kind of thing that would work for almost any European village or town.

With a different top you could have a fantasy version too?

That's a pretty good idea.

Here's the other 10mm public tap I promised – with an inscription in Latin. It's designed to be part of a wall or can stand against a wall.



Based on this village tap:



I gave into temptation and changed the year to one of my favourites  :D  The final version should allow the model to be used in the earliest possible period. How early do we need to go?

Cheers, Michael

Anyone want to use it for English Civil War? It could be dated 1642.
