Further to the Amphora topic.  In Pompeii the wine shops have shaped holes
in their counters, so that the amphora just sit in them.

I’m fairly certain the ones I saw had them “cemented” in but it would make sense to be able to remove them for cleaning etc.

Not just cleaning, but take out the empty & put in a full new one, has to be easier than
trying to pour the contents into the old one.
Not to mention two denarii back on the empties!

While working on the amphorae and other pots I started with the first buidings of the village kit I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Basicly this is close to the farm in design and style, although the buildings are smaller and come on Sarissa's terrain tile system, which I liked after seeing live at Salute (with the Japanese village at that time)

So I started with more or less the same technics and ideas that I used for the farm.

Good start!

I’m not sold on the terrain tile system, so it’s a potty they don’t sell these buildings on “normal” bases. Do you think they could be built on another base easily?

Hi Nick. it shouldn't be a problem to use another base!  :)
Just remove the small protrusions on the lower end and glue them on another board. I have actually made one shed without a base at all, the roofs helped to keep the right angles  ;)

Personally I would do it in this way:

The terrain tiles are 2 mm MDF, so the edges can easily be cut to a slope and then the whole thing is glued to another 2 to 3 mm MDF of the needed size.

P.S. I like the tiles' non straight edge, because even if I use single buildings only the edges kind of blend with the surroundings I think.

So, progress is slower, but I managed some painting as well as some test shots on the kitchen table  :)

These days I am working on some inhabitants and more pottery  ;)

The farm house is getting some large removable base from the terrain tiles, no pics yet.

That looks fantastic.  Amazing how much one can really spice up the kits.
On time, on target, or the next one's free
