Chastened Roman legionaries retire through Mutina.
Most of the buildings, including the superb villa, were made by my Scottish friend John S. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get him to build me some city walls at some stage, since there are so many rapacious Germans wandering around Italia at the moment!
The villa roofs lift off. The rooms inside would look great with mosaics... need to lay some, one day.
Nice Villa, what did your friend use for the roofs of the buildings? They look like the real thing! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Secundus,
ReplyDeleteHe makes a mould for each roof section in plastacine, using a roller with pantiles on it, and then casts them individually with a glue/sawdust goop he's developed. He's a terrific craftsman! Sooner I get him back, the better.
The Wills railway pantiles I used on the temple to the right are a handy product for the less gifted, like me.
I forgot to stick my largest temple in the picture. :-(
