The good thing about Roman buildings..there´s so many different types based on a similar design! :-D This one could be a pair of merchants residences..not quite rich enough for a town house/Villa but not so poor that they have to live in an insula.
A "clever" bit of construction was required to get the centre Support constructed
Yes it's a good name but don't sound good for a Roman Town ! (better for a medieval one). Why not "Bodsa Villae" ? "Bodsiloninum" ? "Paulus Bodstoniae" etc...
Thanks Darrel. In the buildings for bods section there´s an "how to2 which Shows how the roofing tiles are made...it´s easy really when you know how :-D
Hi Jay. A lot of Blogs are not showing up properly..add to that (for me personally) the work load has increased and Looks to increase more, I can´t get around the Blogs/Forums as much as i want to..come to that,..paint as much either :-(
Lovely stuff! I am so going to steal your roof tiles idea! I was already experimenting with ribbed carton but the way you use it is simply brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?
Thanks The walls are made using 1cm thick styrofoam, then they get a thin layer of PVA smeared onto the outsides and then they are dipped into playground sand.
Lordy, you'll be living in Paulchester soon. Very good mode;;ing.
ReplyDeletePaulchester...I like the Sound of that ! :-D

Excellent progress, but where will you store all these creations? I find myself with boxes of buildings for various periods and projects.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a bit special. how did you manage the roof tiles? What material did you use?
