Well in this case … the theatre ? Gladiators ? Somewhere to live … ?<\/p>\n

So far, most of the releases in our Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range have been targeted at the latter part of the 19th century as support to our Aeronef<\/a> and Land Ironclads<\/a> ranges. We’ve had the odd venture into the 20th century with some WW2 products, and a couple of medieval castles, but that’s been it.<\/p>\n

Today, we’re going back further into history with the release of our first ancient-era models. Starting with the basics, we have a collection of Roman buildings – houses, apartments (insulae<\/em>), villas and other bits and pieces.<\/p>\n

\"RomanRelease\"<\/p>\n

To keep the residents of these houses entertained, we have two options – a semi-circular theatre, and a full-sized amphitheatre, which is the largest model in our 2mm range (so far). The theatre is a fairly generic model which would fit in any medium-sized Roman town. The amphitheatre is based on the one in Arles, France<\/a>, which is still in use today as a concert venue.<\/p>\n

SSS-8057<\/a> – Roman Buildings – \u00a37.50
\nSSS-8058<\/a> – Roman Theatre – \u00a32.50
\nSSS-8059<\/a> – Amphitheatre – \u00a310.00<\/p>\n

There are at least two more models to follow these – but we had a couple of mould glitches (and one damaged master), so these will follow at a later date.<\/p>\n
