Order update – we’re doing pretty well now, orders up to December 27th have been packed and will go in the post tomorrow, and if all goes well at the workshop today we’ll have finished December’s orders and be well into January’s.<\/p>\n

Our second release of the year is in the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range with further additions to the Roman Buildings<\/a> collection. We have a set of three Roman country villas – these are larger dwellings that would be seen outside of the towns and cities, and would be the homes of noblemen or politicians. They’re all based on real examples (or the excavated remains of them anyway) in the UK, Germany and Spain. There is also a stone granary which could occasionally be found on the sites of particularly wealthy inhabitants.<\/p>\n

\"Four<\/a><\/p>\n

We also have a pair of temples. The smaller is a simple square generic temple which could be found anywhere over the empire – you might even find one in the grounds of a large villa. The other is the Temple of Lenus-Mars in Trier, Germany. While our existing temple model<\/a> is a typical large, rectangular one, the Lenus-Mars temple has a smaller central rectangular structure with a large roofed gallery running around three sides.<\/p>\n
