I'm making a sisters of battle scenery piece, which I would like to put a larger model, painted all grey to look like a statue, at the center of.
Anyone got any cheap ideas for something? something female and regal/imposing would obviously be the best, but they do look up to male inquisitors too, so anything could really be good.
Detail of the model is of no importance (should almost preferably be poor.)

You can find stuff like this if you search for Inquisitor 54mm on ebay.

Reaper do a few female 54mm knights and things. I have a couple and they are reasonably cheap.

I am looking at a 54mm Sister of Battle from Inquisitor for $40 US, new in box.

That's already much more than I want to give for a statue model, and then you can add another 30 bucks to have it sent to Sweden. Automatically Appended Next Post:  SilverMK2 wrote:Reaper do a few female 54mm knights and things. I have a couple and they are reasonably cheap.

use an action figure? Ive seen some really cool stuff done using bargain basement action figures. If you are lucky you could end up with something like this  or 
Edited to add a link to show someone who does just this, looks rather good too IMHO. http://battlegroundhobbies.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/warhammer-40k-terrain-how-to-part-one.html

There are actually lots of companies that make 54mm minis. Yeah, 40bucks is a lot to pay for a piece you're just going to use for scenery. Might also look at 1/35th scale plastics.

I've been looking for one for some time, but I could never find one for what I was making. Since it is specifically a sisters of battle piece, I was kinda picky. I think I just might do another one like the green lantern in the guide you made though. That looked pretty awesome.

If you only want a female model for a scenery, why not looking at little garden (or aquariums) statues ?
Something like these :

Even aquarium stuff?
Look into railroading stuff, too -- a lot of times you can find cheap decorative stuff, and if it's good enough for railroaders, it's good enough for wargaming.
Like this guy.

Look for 54mm historical soldiers. They are plentiful and should provide you with good options.

Figured I'd throw an update for those curious in here. This is what happened. I got one of the female justicars from Silver's suggestion, put a heavy bolter in her hand and finished my Sororitas shrine.

Looks pretty cool. I have that model and it is pretty damn nice, even when used for a statue!
