The Project came to a Close a couple of years ago and basically the whole lot was destined to spend its future in boxes in the cellar so rather than let it go to waste I put it up for sale HERE

Here´s a sneak Peak Video of the Project...recognise any of the Buildings?
If the Video (by Kind permission) doesn´t work here´s the LINK

As our puppeteers animate the character in the miniature Roman world, you are invited to tell your character's story, which is then documented and will appear in the form of an online newspaper
