It wouldn't cause the game to crash why would it?

I threw in some basic art images associated to statues and figurines.

Extremely minor quibble, but probably extremely easy to fix as well:

Use of the word "statue" implies person(s), or creature(s).  Since they can now be of inanimate objects, it would be more accurate to call them "sculpture" instead.

I believe that it's actually in the preserve of the artist?  Henry Moore used to refer to his works as statues, although most historians now call them sculpture.

Also, I think Anish Kapoor described "Cloud Gate" as a statue.  An artefact statue of a cloud if ever there was one.

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

It sounds good, but that makes images in my mind of dwarves sculpting and kneading grantite. Not that that ain't awesome.

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.

True enough, I suppose.  Though I'm glad I brought it up; I'd never heard of Cloud Gate.  It's quite extraordinary.

One could argue, however, that it's a sculpture that takes on the aforementioned attribute of a statue whenever it is being viewed.

I loaded up my save in the new version, spent a minute trying to find my archery range before figuring it was the room with Xs down both sides: bins of ammo and archery targets.

People need to stop asking. It will be done when Toady finishes it.

A statue is a sculpture in the round representing a person or persons, an animal, or an event, normally full-length, as opposed to a bust, and at least close to life-size, or larger. Its primary concern is representational.
Quote
Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard and/or plastic material, sound, and/or text and or light, commonly stone (either rock or marble), metal, glass, or wood. Some sculptures are created directly by finding or carving; others are assembled, built together and fired, welded, molded, or cast.

well I was gonna ask if anyone had a ball park idea of when it'd be done, but it's clear no one has any better idea than i do.  (That being it'll be done when Toady gets done... and not one instant before)

Although honestly, if he were to add a month every time someone asked... he'd have never gotten past the 2D versions ;)
