Lion Gate of Mycenae

Finished up the terrain today. Plan to use it (along with a previously made throne room/megaron, in skirmish games. The picture below could be captioned with, "Welcome home dear. I just drew the bath for you. "

I may add some type of device (similar to a fleur-de-lis) on the top of the column between the lions - I've seen it illustrated in some recreations.
The terrain is in three sections - and for gaming purposes will be the main entry point for attackers/defenders. The left wall doesn't have the crenallations on one side as this was facing the inside of the citadel. I only added the crenallated parapets on both sides of the right side wall, which was a sort of a bastion. The citadel itself was built on a fairly steep hill, and was naturally protected on most of the sides. In fact, the stone walls were built along the natural lines of the hill.
Close-ups of the wall sections.
The rear side of the terrain - I was too lazy to carve stone work on the interior.
Thanks for visiting the blog as always, and wishing you all the best!
