An aside: Hey, Rob ('dewolfe')! We should try for something like this near Ottawa ...
Wow all these people on the site, great stuff! Merry Christmas to one and all. The amount of times I almost gave up blogging because I thought there was no one out there.....I'm glad I didn't. I'm delighted you're all enjoying it and thankyou for the support. Secundus for Emperor!
I have picked one up myself, for Renaissance gaming, Roman gaming, or both.
I think that it should be easy enough to convert, simply by cutting the vertical part down to size, and perhaps by either replacing the ball with a 15mm scale mythological figure-as-statuary, or simply cutting it off altogether. I'm just not so sure about how Roman the lion mask would be ...

Oh, and I meant Simon the blogger, and not Simon the bigredbat.
ReplyDeleteToo many Simons around here with 20+ years wargaming experience, and roman armies!

Hmm, it looks as if that fountain would not be very Roman-looking, after all, even if they did, sometimes, use lion motifs. Sorry!
