| the Hellenistic pike next to "the temple". I didn't realize I also photographed my markers for those units which have "legged it". The chopped off legs are remnants of my plastic constructions and might make these as useful indicators for other rules..... |
Having done a "Roman Temple" and a Celtic Roundhouse for those respective armies, I thought I might need to make a corresponding Ancient Hellenistic something. So a while back now - having just found these photos deep within the memory card - I put together a temple based on a small photo within a travel promotional pamphlet. It is constructed out of a piece of foam core, pieces of styrofoam and card with columns made from very old cardboard tampon applicators.... Needless to say, my wife, now well past that stage of womanhood was surprised, firstly, she had given or that I had asked for such items, and, secondly, I had kept them for these many years!

Certainly no prize winning example, but it was a very quick build - no more than an hour and a half from first cut to finished painting, having primered it shortly after gluing and then painting it immediately after that.

| Added some terrain basing which helps the look of it. Interestingly, the paint color of the "stone" has not changed from the first photo to this, however the camera certainly has noticed a difference! |
