| Aerial view of the camp without tents and figures |
Here is a Roman marching camp (castra) that I've just finished. This will be handy as a camp for my Roman armies and is designed to be placed on the table edge behind a deployed army. The stakes (sudes) are metal and plastic made by Warlord Games and 1st Corps Miniatures. The legionaries' tents are by Baueda and legionary figures are Warlord Games and Black Tree Designs. Steve Barber Models make a fantastic full size Roman marching camp, in resin and metal, that is 56 x 80 cm and costs 275 pounds!
I've just added a rather blurred aerial view of the camp without tents and figures but you can see the ditches and ramparts which were made with triangular balsa covered in Pebeo Raw Sand Mortar and painted. I use this stuff for all my basing, there are heaps of similar products or you could just use PVA glue and sand. The camp area has strips of burnt grass flocking with a few greener bits for variety.
