Limes Wall
I started on a section of the limes to begin with. This is a two foot long section. I am planning on at least two more similar sections once this is done. That should be enough to span the whole table.
Watch Tower
I picked one of these up a while back. It is an MDF model. I have not had a chance to put this together yet. Definitely on the to do list.
Roman Villa
Yep, a Roman Villa Rustica is definitely needed. The farm complexes can be rather complex. I am thinking of building one that is a small one and another that is a medium size one with a nice garden and fountain. There are some really nice examples out on the internet. The small one I plan on building is based on this one.
I took this from the site http://people.duke.edu/~wj25/UC_Web_Site/pliny/villas/house-conspectus.html.
The larger ones can be huge and cover an entire table in scale.
In looking for what I wanted, I found Dante's Wars blog. I am very impressed with what he has put together.
Roman Fort
I want to make something like the kleinkastle Lochmuhle. That is further down the road. I have ideas but I want the other items done first.
A Temple
I found some plans for a temple of Mithras online. This could make for a nice small terrain item.
Roman roads! A must!!
ReplyDeleteI suggest to look Sidney Roundwood blog 2-3 years ago, he built a very effective Roman house to play with Dux
Roads! Of course. I remember his article. Rich also posted something on the TFL blog.
DeleteI found Sid's Article: http://sidneyroundwood.blogspot.com/2012/04/who-would-live-in-sub-roman-villa-like.html
DeleteThis will help.
I'd take a look at 'The Bigredbatcave' blog, dedicated to all things Roman. Must be ideas on there!
ReplyDeleteI did. Lots of beautifully painted figures on that one. I searched for a bit but need to dig in some more there.
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading more as this project develops!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hopefully it will be interesting.
DeleteRoads leading through woods. Perhaps with a swamp. You know, ambushland.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I have some dirt roads which will probably do for secondaries or tracks leading north of the Limes. I think I have a lead on some suitable roads for proper Roman roads. I may post on that later today.
