Dress someone up and get them to pose then flesh to stone them.

Let's assume Michaelangelo is a 16th level Expert, and we take away his magic items and inherent bonus. According the DMG, that would give him a skill modifer of +33, which means he costs 6 gp per day, plus a 2000 gp for being an exceptionally high-level specialist.
Thus, for David, labor costs would equal 365 x 6 gp + 2000 gp, or 4190 gp.
Michaelangelo/Bernini/DaVinci, etc should totally be EPIC. The word was invented for them.
Or they were 5th level Experts, who rolled well on their stats, and took Skill Focus and an appropriate +2/+2 feat. An Expert-5 with 18 base Int, with Skill Focus(Craft), max ranks, a +2 feat, and a single helper who can make an Aid Another check ends up with a Craft modifier of +19. That's "Heroic" (DC 30, like jumping a 30 foot chasm given the examples in the book) on a roll of 11.Michaelangelo/Bernini/DaVinci, etc should totally be EPIC. The word was invented for them.
