The latest building for my 15mm Biblical settlement – a
temple based on the one excavated at Arad.

Although ostensibly a temple to YHWH, the god of the
Hebrews, it has two massebot (standing stones) in the holy of holies,
thought to represent male and female deities. The two incense altars are of
particular interest. On both were found residue from the burning of ‘incense’.
On one frankincense, and on the other hashish. My building has no windows for a
reason…
The enclosed courtyard includes an altar of burnt offering…
…and to one side is a market. Eventually I’ll make some
shelters/canopies for the traders.
It is entirely scratch built from 2mm mdf on a base from Sarissa Precision. Multi coloured sand on base is from the Negev Desert via eBay.
Priests lightly converted from Xyston Maccabean rabbis.
Other figures are from various places, including Museum, Blue Moon and Forged
in Battle. The geese are from Minibits.
Jars and baskets are from Baueda and Crom’s Anvil or made
from beads and jump rings.
The beacon on the roof is made from metal button and acrylic
bases, but really it’s a handle with which to lift off the roof.
