This is an old image I had saved to my TB drive from about 10+ years ago. It was a GW Tomb Kings terrain piece. I always wanted to do something similar. Hope it inspires you for ideas.

I am sure OVERLORD, Paul built one for one of the build something contests search for that
He built ruins with some pits and scafold
Cheers Colin. Indeed I did.  The BSC thread can be found here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=122086.0

Built to be fairly generic, with removable scaffolding, but with BoB in mind.  Here are some pics of the finished build:

some inspiration/research links:
[1920's scenes of workers at various Egyptian archaeology excavations]
[Caerleon - Excavation Photos 1926 - 1927]
[The archaeology of Armageddon]

general trend is that there isn't much in the way of specialized equipment, nor is it the kind of meticulous effort you get today.. just lots and lots of workers with hand tools digging out the site to reveal buried buildings and stuff, while any small items are carted off to tents and tables where they are cleaned up.

great thread OP!

and you guys are posting some great links for inspiration.

here's one from a model railroad site which i belong:  http://www.7-8ths.info/index.php?topic=16688226.msg119938#new

7/8ths scale is basically "G.I. Joe" size, so any endeavor is HUGE!

Wow, these are all pretty amazing!  :o

Monolith Designs used to make this one (I owned one once upon a time and it's great!) but good luck trying to get one.

Daeothar,
That is spot on. I love the photos scales and the trowel. Other than I don't work in Europe, this could be a number of sites that I have worked on.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Daeothar, that is very nice. :-* :-*
And although i cant open some of the pictures, what i can see is excelent.

Bravo Six, that is a good idea too. :-*



I´ve changed the post name as it has lots of ideas for those who wish to build something similar.
Keep it coming. :)
