Temple Completed

The temple is finally done. Attaching the roof was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. The foamboard had warped/moved/I had measured it all a badly. This meant there was a few gaps around the capitals/architraves as well as the top of the cella.  This was simply filled and repainted but it took a reasonable amount of time and was rather fiddly with the roof in the way.

The front of the temple. Note the cella/naos entrance.

The rear of the temple.

The tiles were painted with Vallejo Game Colour Tan. I think this gives a pretty good terracotta feel and not as bright and gaudy as some other colours which to me seem far too red. It was highlighted rather subtly as I was overall happy with the colour and did not want it to change too much.

The roof.

The side.

The pedimental/tympanum sculpture was painted in slightly lighter tones than the other stonework. it may represent a finer quality stone but I just wanted a few more colours on the temple to break up the monotony of the yellowed stone. I did not go for historical colouring on the sculpture or pediment as I find it a little too garish and overpowering for a terrain piece. I much happier with a 'drab' temple. Maybe the

The front pediment and sculpture.

The rear pediment sculpture. Now I notice the huge mould line, woops.

 I'm not too happy with the basing of the temple. It is rather bland and I think requires a few more pieces (possibly rocks?) to break it up a little more. Basing is, however, one of my weaker wargaming skills so some practice may be required. The edging still needs to be painted but I am waiting for the static grass to fully dry.
