Help required re Bronze age temple
« on: 19 April 2016, 05:16:34 PM »
Guys I am looking for help once again from the LA hive mind.
A few years ago I bought the bronze age temple pictured below from Monolith figures.
It is about to take center stage in a &TV game.
The problem is that I don't have a clue how it goes together.
Specifically the piece with two arches and large square cut out.
Can anybody assist?

The archway is the front façade. The pillars go in the central square(ish) cavity

Hi Steve,

Something like this?


It all makes perfect sense now.
Somehow this project got sidelined and is only back on track now.
Pushing it I know but you wouldn't have a colour picture on one would you??

That's it. I've just had a look online to see if there is a pic anywhere - even of the Peter Connolly artwork from 'Greek Legends' which inspired me, but there isn't. But if you paint the Temple white washed, the pillars red with black capitols, the decorative discs around the top of the building in blue or red (or alternating), the facade as sandstone, then you won't go far wrong - Temples like this have been found from Greece right down through Anatolia, the Levant, and even in Hyksos period Egypt

There are quite a few pictures of archaeological sites on the web - search for "Minoan ", "Knossos reconstructed", "Knossos Temple" or "Mycenae"
