Love the work.

The only issue I'd have with those command counters is when you want to do an 'attach/detach' it becomes a lot more obvious than with thin card counters.

The alternative would be to do a series of 'attach/detach + other order' counters which would be rather bulky.

Stunning Stuff! I made an obelisk make to look like pink Aswan granite. I used warm pink undercoating on gray primer, then 2 brush on gloss coats, then speckled with black. Added another number of gloss coats (maybe 2) then added white speckles, and repeated with pink and so on until the composition was layered and bore that wonderful sense of transparency one gets with marble. It doesnt really photograph well but I think it works. Who makes those two painted minis? How did you paint the stone work on the warrior's base? ~Tim

The Greek warrior is a 32mm Achilles from BronzeAgeMini same exact height as the Croc models so they fit right in on the table. A one man shop, ordering was a bit weird because you have to email him your order and then paypal the cash to him, then finally he casts your models. He gave me a free Greek series model with my order delivery took about 3 weeks. The base for that test applied in order was Spray on Black Primer, Damp Brush - Denabe Stone, Heavy Dry Brush - Denabe Stone+Golden Yellow 90/10, Dry Brush - Bleached Bone, Dry Brush - Skull White + Bleached Bone 80/20, Ink Brush - Delvan Mud Wash + Distilled Water 70/30, Small Dry Brush - Skull White Highlights.

The Priest is from Kleos Miniatures - Hellenic Sacrifice. I actually bought that one so I could copy the vases + offering pedestal+burner so the temple could have a few interior details. Ended up in my base tests because it had such nice flowing robes to test the Spartan Red scheme. (Think I could go a shade lighter - Rojo Red maybe)

Rome wasn't built in a day...and neither was this temple.

I ended up using plywood for the backing under the floor. It was lighter and closer to the correct width, easier to cut.. Casting blocks, more casting blocks, finally have enough for the steps. The steps (stereo+stylobates) went on over 2 weekends. Green stuffed every bubble I could find in the floor and steps. This is the point I finally looked at it and decided it was freaking huge!

Part of the reason for the long delay was the need to buy a belt & disk sander. After casting the columns they were all different in length and not true. Coupon in hand I finally picked one up for $54 at HF. I built a small jig that supported the columns and was square. Checked the table and gauge with a square because gauges on sander are worthless, then sanded the columns to equal lengths.

. Averaged 1 column a day as it took a long time to dry and I only had two squares. Using two squares and a level, I finally have most of the columns placed.

I ended up combining hirst blocks and filling\blending the seems to form the architrave block masters. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to go with that or try to create a couple masters out of foam board. Busy casting mold for those large blocks. I also started on the pool which should end up similar to the one shown in Troy the movie @Troy. Trying to completely even out the smooth hirst blocks, very time consuming. I made a few longer ones and will be casting molds for those too.
