This past spring's project was adding a small, rocky stream to the G gauge
Dogwood & Birdbath RR.  Dogwood Creek flows about 10' from the base of its
namesake to a small pond, and finally gives purpose to the deck truss
bridge.  The stream bed is covered with the small 'home grown' stones I've
recovered over the years before the lawn mower could make them missiles.
One white stone reminded me of the old White Rock Soda logo water nymph,
Psyche.  See: http://www.whiterocking.org/pwc.html

I'd like to find a 1:24 more or less scale (so about 2" to 3" tall) nymph to
put on this rock.  I've tried the White Rock beverage Co. - they once
ordered some statuettes of Psyche, but the QC was poor and they were all
discarded.  I've tried war gaming / dungeons and dragons supplies, but the
female figures all seem to be amazons with weapons.  A friend suggested
http://www.designtoscano.com/product/indoor+statues/fantasy+statuary/fairy+statu
ary/the+enchanted+garden+fairies+sculpture+-+colleen+-+pd1549.do
which comes close but is too big.  And I've considered a small souvenir of
Copenhagen's mermaid, but her pose and attire aren't quite right, and the
project doesn't justify the air fare.  Any of you have any other
suggestions?  Geezer
