Even better now it's painted. Excellent stuff, it all fits together very nicely and gives the impression of a city. Plus I should imagine that using a standard sized base for the floor plan, it wouldn't be too difficult to make it bigger.

Nice one Ithorial!

 

The rest is begging for an Assyrian siege, but I'm not sure about the buttresses on the Dr Who structure in blue outside the walls. Or have my middle-eastern archaeological studies not taken me far enough?

Vaguely based on the picture below, though intended to be a rather lesser temple than the Ziggurat of Ur! But yes the buttresses are probably a little over-scale :-) But then it's a sci-fi building .... so clearly Von Daniken was right  

Excellent job you've done there, 'I'.
Cheers - Phil.

Very, very impressive 

Excellent work, the Arabs i'm doing would look great in that fortress,


kev

Su-bloody-perb!

Very nicely done 

Very innovative and enterprising. 
(Intrigued by the blue top on the Ziggurat - not quite the same colour, but is it a coincidence that 'blue stone' was used at Stonehenge?)

Once again, thanks to all for the kind comments.

Sumerian temples were apparently highly decorated

I went for the darker blue colour to represent either a rich temple able to afford to cover itself in lapis lazuli or a poorer temple painted blue in an effort to look richer than it is :-) Similarly the door surround may be gold leaf or bronze sheet!

As to the bluestone circle ... yep, entirely coincidental

Looking really good

The upside is it could be expanded almost infinitely.

The downside is it could be expanded almost infinitely.

 

Really great stuff!

Really great work.  Impressive in the 'idea stage' but thoroughly magnificent in the exeecution of the idea.
