Lion Rampant... My First Roman Building.

 Greetings...

I have finished the first Roman building for this project...

It’s a Temple from Warbases Veni Vidi Vici Range...

https://warbases.co.uk/product/roman-temple/








 
This was a lot of fun to build and I am very pleased with the result...

The roof was covered with Pantiles from Wills Model Railway Accessory’s...
Mine came from... www.trainshop.co.uk

The walls were given some texture using light weight Polyfilla and I painted it using various earth, cream, grey and ochre Shades from Pebeo Studio Acrylics...

The Amphorae came from Magister Militum

The base was made from a 3mm cake board cut to size...

I am currently working on a Roman Villa...

All the best.   Aly

    Super nice Aly! I am following your 3rd century project with great interest... It encourages me to continue painting my IIIc. Romans!

    Very nice. I have to admit that I really only use Warbases for bases!

      Thank you Rob..
      The buildings are worth a look... although I think their 15mm range probably work better for 20mm figures .

      All the best. Aly

    Splendid start to the buildings for your Romans and Sassanids to tussle over! Which villa did you choose?

      Thank you David...
      I bought the Hurlingstone Villa
      https://warbases.co.uk/product/hurlingstone-villa/
      But for a reason I can’t remember I also picked up two more small stores, a pool and a gate...
      So it looks more like the Oakdene.

      It’s about 50% done now...

      All the best. Aly

    Splendid stuff. The populace will be flocking to leave votives there.

      Thank you Iain...
      The Amphora weren’t cheap... but the effect is worth it.

      I imagine with the right accessories you could almost push these buildings into the 20th Century...

    Ooh gorgeous. Look forward to seeing it in action so to speak. I suspect it’ll be a barbarian magnet on the table.

      Great to hear from you... and nice to see you are back to blogging

      I feel I may have to make some torched building markers... 😁

      Yes...
      Or it should have one of those signs you sometimes see on back entrances to some businesses... “ THIS BUILDING IS ALARMED” 😂

      All the best. Aly

    Really nice building Aly! Is the tile roofing that you used this one -> https://www.trainshop.co.uk/plastic/18744-roof-tile-reddish-brown-4013285524259.html ? Or some other? Will have to get some as it looks great! I also like the texture on the walls! Will have to try some of it on the Afghan buildings I recently ordered.
    Waiting to see your Roman Villa!

    Best wishes,
    Jan
