Foundations of Rome fully painted 4
Finally finished painting this one. Whew!
As the gardens don't have roofs I painted their flowers in four different shades of their player's colour
My cats love the boxes!
Rome is complete!
Tried to paint as many details as possible while making the game easier to read for players
I think it's helpful when seeing which lots are available. Thus I made some acrylic markers to help visualise this.
my favourite detail to paint was the targets on the shooting range (on the far left of the pic)
