Today I have put together a Sarissa Precision Roman Temple. The kit is detailed but not overly complicated to put together, just time consuming.
I have also put together one of their statue plinths to use as a sarcophagus to go inside the temple. The temple has to have a purpose and I have decided this one is to a “fallen general”, AKA “big Julie”!
I am also going to use a “Historical Figure Museum 21” plastic model that I have of “Big Julie” sitting on a throne to use as a statue to go with the temple. It can equally go at the top of the steps, inside, or in the forecourt.
I decided to remove the statue and the plaque and to repaint the plinth. This would give me more flexibility.

The temple is meant to be in a run down part of Rome and has been painted to reflect this.
Great weathering on the temple Dave, the model is perfect scale for a statue.
Thanks Dave. One of those bits I picked up on my “travels”. I think from a museum gift shop!
Great work on the temple… the ‘statue’ is spot on…
Thanks. It has been patiently waiting for a final resting place for some years!
That looks fantsastic.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete. I like the way it has come out.
Great looking pieces, Guru
Thanks. en masse they should have the impact I am after!
Quite an impressive building! 🙂
There are some very nice buildings in this series. The advantage is that it is also modern enough to be a municipal building or the Lincoln memorial etc, for more modern or pulp games. The country villa and the Roman bath I hope to get to within the n ext month, both of which are also impressive.
