TSSD Roman Pantheon diorama piece for sale (1 Viewer)

[joesgis]

Hi all, Up for sale is a Roman era diorama piece I recently purchased from Toy Soldiers of San Diego. It's a real nice piece, but is just a tad too large for what I intended to use it for. It is brand new and undisplayed. It has only been removed from the box for measuring, inspecting and photographing. I was a bit surprised to see some apparent air vent holes in the center of the unit in some of the tumbled pillars on the floor of the Pantheon. I made sure to show these drilled holes in one of the pics so you can see what I mean. Apparently this was originally made to be used as an aquarium piece. In any case, it is very solidly constructed and works well with the Conte Spartans shown in the pics. (Figures not included.) It's painted pretty nicely as well, but could be embellished by those w/ a little talent and time. Dimensions are 11" wide x 16" long x 11" tall at its highest point. It comes securely double boxed. I'm asking the $60.00 I paid for it plus shipping from CA. It does have a little weight to it. If interested please send a PM w/ your zip code so I can provide a shipping quote. Thanks! Joe

LOL! I think it's a great idea Wayne...you could use this structure with some of K & C's new Greeks and create a diorama of Atlantis!

Joe...I got this piece too...I didn't like the gray rock platform (resin)...it was tall and awkaward looking...I couldn't see how a person could realistically scale the rocks to get to the temple...so I cut them off...the structure itself is some kind of heavy ceramic...I didn't like all the green algae/moss on it either...so I plugged all the air pump holes and repainted mine in a cream/butternut color...then I did a blackish ink wash on it...I really like the piece...you might think about keeping it and reworking it...I really like mine now...it's a nice sturdy piece...very heavy...I have not done so yet...but I'm gonna add some dirt/grass to the spot inside the temple where they detailed the broken floor...

Mike- Thank you for the info and pics....WOW! You REALLY reworked the "Pantheon"....fantastic job. If no one buys mine, I will try something along the lines of what you did. I like how you cut the base off. If I did this, it would allow me to fit it in the area I originally planned to display it at. Thanks again for the suggestion and for sharing the pics of more or your work.:smile2: You have some serious talent there!
