All roads lead to Rome... * 05.07.15 Blocking out the milecastle *

[Admiral Benbow]

Splendid, James!

Cheers Michael, although there's not much to see at the moment.

I'm afraid this particular project is going to have to wait until after we move at the end of the month

Well, spurred on by the fact that 'It's Alive!' is continuing I've started to block out the mile castle. I'm also going to have to make a 600mm section of wall to cast up as I don't fancy joining the wall sheets together. Along with casting the wall sections I'm also going to cast the tunnel arches and possibly the windows (of which there are only a couple).

I also need to make the rounded corners but it's easier for now to get everything gled down and then cut out the area for the curves to go in afterwards (they will be done at work).




It's too bloody warm to do any spraying but as soon as it cools down I'll get the first batch of the garrison primed  

cheers

Wow, great progress, James!

[janner]

Happy with that

This will be grand! 

How big of a garrison the milecastle has btw?

[OSHIROmodels]

Between 20 to 30 legionaries or auxiliaries and the figure ratio I'm going to be using is 1:1. I've got all the figures and started to paint Centurion Sebasticus but it was stil to soon after the LPL 

I've got a couple of commissions out the way now so I'd like to come back to this very soon 

cheers

Sounds good 

Shouldn't the centurion be named Iacomus? Or will you be the barbarian leader facing the brave civilised Romans?
