Gladiator Arena
Terrain Tuesday
Commenced work on my Gladiator arena tonight, as part of terran Tuesday builds. First I cut out a 600x 600 plywood tile, cut my supporting sides sides, then glued and stapled into place.
My standard terrain boards are 600 x 600 |
I then worked out my arena size so I could duplicate it at the other end, plus a central piece can be added for chariot racing, and that way it will fit on my table neatly at one end for chariot games.
Ruler as compass |
I then drilled points into a plastic ruler, one end in screwed into a central point and the other points are worked out to make the circles which increase at 2cm steps .
The Arena Base 40 x 45 oblong |
Lower arena, sand will be used to level out the ground
Upper arean piece, this will form the walls |
I moved the edge in so I could add shops against the wall |
The stairs and seating is laid out |
Glueing and setting overnight on the first two levels
I plan to add cardboard to the interior walls and steps , then the exterior walls, place rendered decoration and possibly graffiti and some market stalls. Until next week!
cheers

A good start Matt…
It’s always interesting to see how someone else goes about a terrain piece project.
All the best. Aly
Hey Matt,
this is looking really good! Looking forward to seeing it completed. Let's face it- a gladiator game NEEDS a good Amphitheatre to look good!
It has been in the planning for some time, hopefully it will come out how I see it in my head.
Cheers
Matt
