Title: Roman Arena Customs
Post by: Wesley Myers on November 08, 2010, 13:31:55: I would like to see some pictures of some examples of two or more Roman Arenas used together to create a custom arena for some personal inspiration.

I know Playmobil never made any straight wall sections for it, sadly, so you could create a Circus Maximus and race chariots, but I had seen a picture or two of some modifications.

I did try a search using the words "arena" and "roman" and the set numbers (both the full arena and the small Target/USA market version) but no luck at all. No, I have not opened and read every post on this site, for anyone thinking that. I just do not have the time with work, school and family - not to mention Playmobil in the real world. So, anyone's help would be more than greatly appreciated!!!

And you will not find the pics under any of these search options.... you will find them through the various excibitions links in the various threads...

Post by: Wesley Myers on November 13, 2010, 20:15:10: Thanks for the pictures! I had seen MacGuyver's before. The Circus Maximus one is fantastic (but doesn't use the Arena pieces ... LOL)!

Does anyone know of any more?

Post by: Justindo on November 14, 2010, 19:04:49: Here is one picture of a custom arena that I saved some time ago, but I don't know whose it is or where it's from.

I a picture of my arenas somewhere, albeit without any klickies, that I will try to post later.

Post by: Wesley Myers on November 15, 2010, 00:52:03: That one is nice. They must have used 3 sets to make that up - due to the number of side pieces with seats.
