Classical ruins Terrain 29

 Here are some classical ruins,  I've had a pair of wooden columns and mouldings left over from a job for about 30 years,  I thought I'd make use of them together with some chunky balsa and some plastic sheet I've had for 40 plus years. I've cut the columns into three and stuck them down to some discarded CDs, added the architrave moulding to the balsa and then pva ,sand and grit.








After I did these three I found another old CD and used up some more bits and pieces. Primed with Halfords khaki and then a wash of watered down raw umber and a wet brush of my stone colour in emulsion paints and some flock. 



Good for Italian Wars ( The forum in Rome for the seige 1527?), ancients of course     ( maybe inspired by my relatively recent trip to Greece?), maybe Napoleonic but mainly I was thinking of remnants of empire with my timber framed dark age  buildings in the ruins .











Up next more terrain, more Napoleonics, more dark ages, any  combination of the above!

All the best
