About the Project
Step into the streets and alleyways of the ancient Roman Empire. Those streets have become rife with carnage and unrest in these uncertain times. Gangs of brutal Fighters are used as weapons to exert the will of their paymasters. These paymasters, known as Domini, are ambitious heads of Roman households; as such a Dominus you begin your story in troubled times... Gangs of Rome is a skirmish game from Warhost/Footsore Miniatures and Games in which you will use unique fighters, pitting them against the gangs of rival Domini in both campaign and scenario play to earn influence enough to manipulate your way into the Senate. Then, as a Senator of Rome, you will be granted the power destroy your enemies with methods far greater than the sword. So hold on to your sandals and watch your back, Dominus! Things are about to get bloody… Now it is time for a ReVamp

The Start
New RomeI have build all of my buildings for Gangs of Rome and I have to say i was very please with them, but after 5 years and with fresh eyes, there are things that I was not totally happy with.
The first of these was the roofing. I have always wanted a better, nicer, a more realistic roof for the buildings rather than the plain MDF roof and I was never really happy with corrugated cardboard as it gets very easily damaged, so I put it on hold.
I few months ago I discovered on the Gangs of Rome Face Book Page a wonderful chap, Frank Sultana, who showed his method on this blog Adventures in Lead.
So armed with the information that frank had stated I went on the “ribbed” plastic kitchen drawer or fridge liner. You get some weird results when you do a google search but actually found is on Amazon, Drawer Liners, YBQZ 30cm×200cm Double Anti-Slip Shelf Liner, Non-Adhesive BPA Free Waterproof Kitchen Cupboard Cabinet Liner Refridge Fridge Mats Sink Protector Strong Durable for Home Office (Clear) : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen.
I am sure there are different sizes of the ribs out there but I am lazy.
Once I had done the roof then I thought that the rest of the building will need a revamp too, weathering, little extras, that lived in look and using Sarissa Stencils, to add a pathing effect to the plain street in front of the building, using a PVA/filler mix.
Well you will see the results as I am building a new table for Gangs of Rome 2, More information on this coming soon.
But please enjoy my journey into revamping Rome, By Jupiter!
