The Temple of Apollo, Revamped and Upgraded



The next building on the list for upgrading and revamping is Sarissa's Roadside Shrine/Mausoleum and I have created this and dedicated to Apollo, but really it could be any of the Gods. This is a lovely small building but a really fun build.



The first image is the starting block with it all painted but I need to revamp to roof.



The second image is the start of apply the fridge liners to the roof to for the pantiles.



The third image the roof is fully tiled and I have cut some card to raise the front and rear of the roof of the temple and cut some cotton buds poles to use as the ridge tiles.

Next before painting the roof I revamped the temple wall to add some colour as Roman and even Greek temples used a lot of colour on them, so I went for red, blue and gold to bring out the details.







I started to paint the roof starting with the pantiles. So I primed the fridge liners with black primer.

In the first picture I drybrushed Vallejo Game Colour Scorched Earth over it



In the next image I drybrushed Vallejo Game Colour Terracotta to give it that rich red tile colour.



I then did a light drybrush of Vallejo Game Colour Tan to add the highlights.



I then I washed the tiles with Vallejo Game Colour Black wash and then their Sepia wash to add a rich reddy brown colour.

I then using the same washes for the tiles I gently weathered the temple and added some gold to the ridge tile to finish it.

Streets of Rome, (Completed So Far)



Here is a progress report on all the buildings I have revamped so far for my Gangs of Rome streets. For the eagle eyed amount you, you might noticed that there are actually six buildings showing in the pictures that have been revamped and upgraded but so far you have only shown 4 buildings so far. Well, I better sort out the other too revamps really quickly, .

What do you think of the progress so far?

We have so far revamped

Two Semi Detched buildings,

One Lower Ranked Insula Corner building (To be shown fully),

One set of Workshops, which have been converted in the foricae, public toilets and a toga shop,

One Roadside Shrine/Mausoleum/Temple,

One Bakery (To be shown fully).

This actually means I still have a number of buildings that still need upgrading and revamping.

One row of Lower Ranked Shops.

One row of Middle Ranked Traders.

One Large Temple/Civic building

Two maybe four Insulae Under Construction..

All buildings are from Sarissa Precision's Street of Rome, https://sarissa-precision.com/collections/streets-of-rome-28mm range and they are lovely kits.

I am really enjoying this project and creating a new improved table to demo, Gangs of Rome 2 on.

Beautiful work, very inspiring. What do you use to render the buildings or is it just paint?

Gorgeous figures and terrain! I love the details! Especially the graffiti!

Test Sprues for the New Plastics for Gangs of Rome Kickstarter



Well I’ve finished playing with the new test Sprue from Warhost’s and Footsore’s Gangs of Rome Kickstarter and they are great. Wargames Atlantic have really knocked it out of the park on these.

I love the choice of arms, legs, torsos and heads and the bewildering array of weapons and extras. I know that some will not make the Sprue but I hope the torso with the cloak moulded on and my favourite the cloak covering the left arm with a dagger in hand, you do rarely see that on plastics.
 
I have done eight guys, four as fighters and four as the mob/civilians and it is amazing just what you do with these and will be a great asset for the game. I hope the two amphorae arms make the final Sprue.

I really can wait for these to finally come to market and can see the possibilities of a Roman Slave army in the making for Clash of Spears as well of uses for fantasy games like the up coming Barons' War: Goes Fantasy and Kings of War.
 
For the eagled eyed of you, there are some pantiles stacks, amphoras and bails markers that can be throw in the game of GoR.
