Roman Villa

A busy week, finishing working on scenic items and the last in a small flurry of posts today - the Roman Villa. For its construction I've made extensive use of printed paper sheets. The two buildings shown in the previous post and some walling I finished recently are used with the villa - here 'tis then

Couple of buildings (one Roman, one Generic)

Two buildings finished. Firstly a roman building which could be if viewed from one side a small house or from the other side a small barrack or stables

Next a generic building - possibly a barn or store house:

Celtic round houses - basic shells

made up some basic shells for three celtic round houses, used some pape-mache round boxes from Hobby Craft, the lids will form the base of the roofs (and will be removable)

Wattle Fencing

Finished off the wattle fencing sections, shown below with a donkey and some Britains cows

roman villa - initial build

Yesterday decided to get on with the villa - the final item has to be capable of use with 40 & 54mm figs - so maybe a bit smaller than would be right for 54mm but a bit large for the 40mm. First measured up and added the main walls in foamboard, with doors cut out.

 then today added the roofs (which lift off) and the basic covered colonnade at the front

That's all of the roman buildings initial build done, so I've got the villa and two others made up which were shown in the previous post - onto the detailing for them next. I may put a basic interior in the villa - some mosaic floors and simply decorated walls.

What about the gauls/celts ? well eventually I'm aiming to build 3 huts and one low relief building plus a pallisade to go in the corner or one of the short sides of the gaming table.

more work on buildings...

Making up some more buildings for the romans, firstly a couple of small generic ones, carcases done, one with possible layout sketched out on the side ....

and also the base borad for a small villa; made this on a scrap piece of MDF, have laid out the outline - I'm going to try and make it with lift off roofs (maybe).

Been doing walls ...

Working on walls for the last week or so, firstly some resin wall sections

 and also some Britains wall sections; I had quite a few of these so I made them up into some corners, singles and doubles - height wise they are a tad low for 54mm but OK for 40mm;
