Cheapest greek scenery.

Amera Mouldings




Perfect for Saint Seiya boardgame!

Would anybody tell me more classic greek scenery?

[carlos marighela]

Given the state of their economy I suspect you can buy the real thing for not much more than the postage on the Amera stuff you have.

Grand Manner do some, but it's pricey.
Grendel has a couple small pieces too.
Hirst arts has a couple moulds that have a greek/roman temple theme.

Main source for good value greek scenery is aquarium decorations though. Visit your fish and other pets shops.

Matakishi's Mythic Greek project reminded me I still needed to order a few items for my own plans in that direction. Including those are a set of aquarium decoration pieces from the excellent Europet Bernina (where I got all my jungle trees and Egyptian scenery).

For Mythic Greece, they make an acropolis in two sizes (I went for the XL one), a section of ruins with a Poseidon statue, one with an Aphrodite statue and a long one that combines both. I went with the separate ruin sections over the combined one as I can spread them out over the table this way.

This is the lot:



I was surprised when the box arrived how large and heavy it was, but I quickly understood when I started  unpacking the items. First out of the box was the ruined Acropolis. Now I knew I went with the larger size, but I wasn't prepared for this (yes there's  a 28mm figure in there (that Matakishi might recognise):



At first I thought it was too big, but then I remembered these things are bigger in real life than the scaled-down version we tend to put on the table. After comparing with some pictures of the real thing, I concluded it's *almost* big enough to be to scale.

Didn't find the figure? Well, ok, it's here:



View from the top (can you spot the figure?)



Next the Poseidon ruin. It's massive, in scale with the Acropolis and has some gorgeous detail (again, a figure included for scale).



Close-up of the statue, just beautiful:



The Aphrodite temple ruin was a bit of a shock in that it broke in several places in transit. 
I glued it back together, but will have to fill and touch up some small gaps.
Only a small setback, it still looks great.



And a close-up of the Aphrodite statue. Lovely detail. 


All in all not bad for some impressive terrainpievces that are ready to use straight out of the box, the paintjobs are just that good. They are bigger than I expected, but that should only add to the feeling that this is truly a world here Gods walk among men.

Beautiful - only thing that bothers me a bit about them is the grey stonework - most often the whole structure of these things is built in marble?

I have some Egyptian pieces myself, and here the statues carved out of the rock for some reason are lighter in colour than the surronding rock... well, those little things... you can't have it all, and such pieces are too good to not use, anyway

That graveyard is a nice piece, manic_miner.

(Looking around to make sure Neotacha isn't looking).

Just picked up a couple of nice buildings for Neotacha's birthday:

Both look very nice - can't wait to hand them over to her (I think both have slipped past her terrain-seeking radar - not easy to do!).
