Statue Question about Faux Bronze Statue

[Elenion]

Is it normal to have green mold (or rust?) on faux bronze statue in various places?

 

[ComputerFly]

My guess is the green is just a 'patina'. It adds to the illusion that the statue is actually bronze. Which statue are you referring to?

Oh snap! You get a real one? I have every SideShow Blizzard Statue. Need that thing...maybe Only reason, I've held off is an orc wolf rider is not a unit in WarCraft 3 nor a class in WOW. Green on faux bronze? green on FAUX bronze? FAUX?

faux (adj): imitation

It's fake so why would it be green? Sure, they could try and fake weathering but think for a second and you will realize, for so many reasons, they would never do that.

Gratz on the statue btw. Was wondering what exactly is "WETA"?

SS has done exactly that with a number of their faux bronze star wars pieces, so I would assume the same would hold true for WETA.

Yea, I saw couple of pictures people took theirs on flickr and it seemed to have patina effect as well.
I don't have draenei vs blood elf diorama statue but I'm not really interested in that piece fortunately.

Also, does it look consistent in star wars faux bronze statues? or is the green effect bit more unique per statue?

Raiders were orcs and they rode wolves...

the green effect is unique to each statue I believe.

They also carry huge swords but this Orc carries axes

Actually all orcs ride wolves in WOW...but this orc's face looks very unusual, never seen anything like it in WOW
