Adding Colour
I used simple rattle cans to paint the stonework. I started with a cheap grey primer from the local hardware store and then used sand-coloured sprays to build up highlights.
I finished off with a light zenith highlight with an off-white spray.
Painting the stonework took less than 30 minutes thanks to the ridiculous Perth heat.
The inside wall of the arena was painted red with a black trim. Again, I used cheap paints from the local hardware store.
For the many statues that adorn the walls I again used rattle-cans, starting with a blue-grey and working up to white.
I then Painted up 10 Roman Legionnaires to act as security for the Colosseum. I used colours more akin to Pretorians because I figured that regular legionnaire would not have been used.
I added entranceways so that the combatants could actually enter the arena.
And of course, I couldn’t help but paint up a couple of Gladiators, just to keep me motivated.
