Yes, it was the film with Todd Armstrong I was talking about. My father took me along to see it, when it was first released and I was still in primary school !!!!
Certainly at the time the stop-motion animation work of Ray Harryhausen was groundbreaking and gained the man a lot of respect - for the huge amount of time and effort taken for the film effects.
Since you have the film I really think you should watch it first. The character is very imposing – OK he is a massive statue but it’s something to do with the eyes (just bronze – no pupils or iris’s – makes it look very menacing).
Also, for texturing the weathered bronze with added verdigris – the film will give you a load of help.
good luck buddy
