The closest I'll get to a plan, the layout drawn on the baseboard. It will shift a bit as I've not allowed for wall thicknesses. I've dispensed with the dwelling to the left, as eventually I want to build a separate house or three. I've also decided to make the secondary shrine a Temple of Astarte/Ashtaroth. (Well, the temple prostitutes have to have somewhere to work!)
It'll be built mostly from MDF and greyboard.

Primary walls done, all mdf, mostly 6mm, because I wanted thick walls around the courtyards. Even wall heights thanks to a Proxxon table saw, perhaps the most useful tool I ever bought.

Shittim wood for the Ark of the Covenant ordered earlier today. These things have to be done properly!

I love the non-evenness of the TF boards. How do you find them?

Presuming you mean the baseboard, they're OK as long as whatever is on them has height, otherwise they tend to warp a little. It can be avoided with care, but as I have discovered to my cost it's difficult (impossible) to correct after the event.

Promising start.  After the last module I saw from you, I am watching with interest.

That was what I was wondering. I am using 3D printed bases, which don't warp with glue but might with warmth

A bit more progress. I intend to have a roof where people can stand and see/hear the rites in the temple below, mainly because the Temple of Dagon in the Samson story has people on the roof.
To this end I have built 'windows' to sit on the roof to both allow those on the roof to participate and to allow light in.
I have used Pendraken/Minibits dice frames as window frames, and sandwiched fine brass mesh between them, completing the construction with strip pine from W Hobby.
Eventually the main roof will have a hole and the window section a roof, but I need to place the inside roof supports first, so that the pillars are not holding up a hole!

Those dice frame work a treat for the small windows. Very cool innovation.

Thank you. So much easier than trying to cut multiple tiny pieces of wood with mitred ends. (At least, with accuracy.)

Latest update:
Pillars, seating and bamah now done.
Roofs finished, still requiring stairs to get onto them.

This is going well. I like the surprising irregularity achieved with orthogonal walls.

Amazing progress! You walls give a real ancient feeling. Did you use plans of excavated houses as an archetype?
