Haha, great quote. I love the chimera model, suits the diorama you've set out to make too.

Heyho,
I got a question, are you going do cut the staff that comes out of the column off, or are you planning to leave them? They somehow confuse me...I talked to Luke about it, and he as a tomb raider told me that columns with a metal bar or so in them were reconstructed ones from the british guys. The original ones had little pins about 5 cm-ish on top and holes on the bottom. Well that's what he said so all credits to him.

Hope this helps you a bit and you'll stop confusing me with metall bars coming out of stone columns...
