The real question to be asked is, while you have all of the stuff out, why arent you building two of these so that I can buy one when you are done?!?!?!?!

Thanks for all the nice comments.

My next biggest hurdle is working out which bloody ruleset to use or whether to finish my own. I have never been totally satisfied with any commercial gladiator game, for me they never depict the differences in the gladiator types successfully. The Morituri Te Salutant rules look OK, but they represent Republic era gladiators and will require a bit of tweaking to work

traveller: A more detailed explanation of the hex process starts here http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com/2010/09/wip-arena-part-2.html but it's basically a lot of laborious outlining and then more of the same with the applying of sand.

Tremendous - and that link to the free hex paper is very handy.

This is awesome - I only wish I wasn't all fingers and toes so that I could make one for my Gladiators

Believe me Mr. Holmes, if I can do it anyone can - if u follow the blog links it will serve as a pretty straightforward tutorial.
