Scouty Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Does anyone know where i can source a concrete statue for a friend who has recently lost two family members. I am after a concrete one. Maybe life size or scales down by 50%. Size wise/breed is a german sheperd. Location is in Victoria- Mornington Peninsula. I have not had any luck so far thanks Scout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthdog Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 This may be way off base, but I wonder if monument makers (for cemeteries) could help you or point you in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 There used to be a shop in the QVB in Sydney that had great statues and they now seem to be online - www.pawsawhile.com.au - it might be worth contacting them even if they don't have what you want straight away.

Looked at this site, but can't seem to see if they refer any businesses that do this sort of thing! thanks anyway Scout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Scouty, I have a (previously secret ) passion for ceramic statues, large and small (preferably large) ditto concrete. It seems, from my research, to be terribly difficult to find any. I have a friend who trolls ebay and often sends me links, but I haven't seen any GSD ones. I would suggest googling, with all sorts of combinations. Off topic - I found some lovely boxer ones in USA, but they wouldn't ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDog Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 There is a statue place on Thompsons Road in Cranbourne - just before the Western Port Hwy roundabout. It appears to be a house but they have statues everywhere with a sign for parking. They have HEAPS of outdoor statues and I’m almost positive they make them there onsite. We brought a heap of things from them around 12months ago - they customised some seats for us (as it was used to deck out a kinder garden) and where very reasonably priced too.

But friend has been there and nothing tickled her fancy. I just thought i would do her a favour and look aswell and hopefully i would be successful. But i am thinking i will not be. BTW your from QLD, you know your stuff, howd you know about this place???? They also sell at the carribean market. Jed i have googled everything but no luck as yet!!

Jed Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I would be interested to see if the USA site- kaccents does in fact ship to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
