Upper class roman house
High walls and few Windows facing outwards to prevent Robbers, this house has a small shop.
The "Backyard" (Horti) Basic and not as nice as it could be..maybe I´ll build a better (bigger) house with a full Horti, pillars and all, at some Point.
The Atrium. The Roof is of the Atrium impluviatum style (Roof slopes inwards to the courtyard) as opposed to an Atrium displuviatum (Roof slopes to the outer wall of the house and away from centre) The construction needed to Support the roof meant that it wasn´t possible to add an Impluvium, so, as with the Horti, maybe at some point I will re-think the roof construction and build a more historically correct version.
Covering the Roof took just under two Sheets of the corrugated biscuit protective paper.

very nice. sadly most cookies over here don't come with the corrugated liner anymore!
ReplyDeleteMost impressive! To me it looks great with all these small details like mosaiks, the door in the Atrium and the hortus (or is it really horti? has been a while since my last latin lesson).
ReplyDeleteDear Paul,
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely model and could be used in many, many scenarios from Britain to the eastern reaches of the Empire. As James pointed out, most cookies here have stopped including this type of liner but several people have had success peeling off one side of some corugated cardboard. Easy to do when the material is more like heavy paper than cardboard.

Thanks Jerry.
DeleteI´ve tried in the past to use corrugated cardboard but it never really suceeded, in fact the re-construction of these buildings has been put on hold for over 5 years due to not finding a constant and Fitting source of roofing until one day a couple of weeks ago I came across the idea with the biscuit paper. I hope they don´t stop using it until I´ve finished the rest of the buildings!
Yes, very nice! Am loving your buildings.
ReplyDeleteA masterpiece, Paul. Love the gladiator mural on the inner wall. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteUpper class painjob! The inside details are fabulous...love the mosaïc!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Paul - I have often searched for this same type of paper to simulate corrugated steel. As always - great results!
ReplyDeleteExcellent building again Paul! Love the little details!
