Started (finally) on the walls. This was going to be my Box project but as it won't be any more I'm not going to be restricted size  :D

Using bendy MDF as a start I'll need to cut out some ovals to encapsulate and top the bare walls, to help keep the shape.

Needs a bit of simple bracing...




Got some basic ideas for the rest but we'll see how it goes  :)

Also painted my retarius and will get some decent pictures of him up tonight.

cheers

Clever use of the bendy mdf, props for that.

I was expecting a villa-like surroundings, but maybe Mason will have the honour of being the owner of more succesful ludus?  ;)

Thank you kindly gents  :)

I have got an idea for the surrounding Ludus buildings such as quarters, lanista rooms etc but we'll see.

If Frank comes up with a more generic set of combat it could spill out into the streets (which will then have to be built  :D ).

Rodge, that made me laugh out loud, thank you  :D

cheers

That is a very clever idea, mate.
Like it!

Dont you go stirring him up.
 :o

I have no intentions of buildings anything remotely Ludus-like......yet.
 ::)

When/if I do, I wont be comparing it with anyone.
It would have to work in Mordheim anyway, to be justified.

Don't worry mate, I know my Ludus is crap (well, the members anyway  ::) lol ).

Here are the painted members so far...

Froussard the Retarius




And the ever changing Thraex who I've given up naming as he's died so often  ::) but at least he has a shield now...



And just for a bit of fun  :)
I might use this as an advertisement of sorts outside the , I'm just wondering if there would be anyway to 'mosaic' it  ???



cheers

Great stuff, mate.
Love the new fellas.
 :-* :-*

That retiarius is the one that I am converting into a Hoplomachus.
Glad it is as it would be silly for us to both have the same figure.

I dont want any of that Bibbles Luck coming my way, do I?
 ;)

The idea for the mosaic advert is a touch of genius, sir.
Like it!

I like the "Net pansy" but he needs more oil ;)

Glad to see the Thraex has a shield, you never know that might be the turning point in his career.

The arena is taking shape too, you have been a busy boy this weekend. :)

Love the new additions - the arena is a triumph!

Very clever way of doing things.  :)

Your Thraex looks much better with his parma and as mentioned it may turn his luck around.  ;)

Your "net pansy" looks like Neptune reborn - perhaps he will bring your ludus some much needed luck...
