I am so green with envy!

The forum is a masterpiece!! 

All the Roman gang stuff is becoming a little hard to ignore and if I was to do some of it, it would have to be done on a table like Paul's amazing city.

Impressive project, Paul 

Are you going to Hamburg this weekend?

Paul,
This was an inspirational book to me when I was a kid. I don't know if you've seen it before. But your project made me look for it again. It might be of interest to you.

Keep up the great work

HALF done? Yikes!

By the by, you could maybe put a small fountain in the centre of the Macellum instead of a full Tholos?

[Paul]

Thanks

Oddly..I´ve Just got back from Hamburg...(Winsen an der Luhr) working for the DB.

The other Forum has a water thingy
http://paulsbods.blogspot.de/2013/12/forum-romanum.html
but a fountain sounds a good idea. The Tholos is half finished..

[FramFramson]

Oh, haha, I meant instead of a Tholos if you didn't have the room (as you were saying on the blog). I was reading that some Macellums didn't always have a full Tholos and had fountains instead. But if a Tholos fits, so much the better!

:)The Tholos I´ve built too big for the present Forum..I might leave it as a set Piece on it´s own.

Sorry your not here, it's an excellent convention. Well done to Frank and the team

[Paul]

A Tholos.  Where fish were sold, or the place where official weights and measures were held for reference or as shrines to the gods of the market place

Nice work!

Paul, your threas inspires again and again. Now finally a piece I would be able to build, too. Seriously, I liek the idea of having a place such that in the midst of the market. Put to the list of things to be built.
