Here are some screenshots of some models that I have been working on in my free time. They are of the raking cornice of the entablature of a Roman Temple. The molding is enriched and also intersects in a particular way—it's not easy and there are lots of polygons. It is meant to be printed someday so I can have a Roman Temple in 1:60 tabletop scale. :) The first two pictures are what I am working on now. They are from an original Corinthian entablature that I designed based on actual Roman styles from antiquity. As I have modified the style, it is not 100% historic but very much captures the style and flair of the temples of the high Roman Empire. It is for the temple of Heliopolitan Sol, an imaginary temple to the sun god in western Anatolia or perhaps Syria. :) The third picture is a raking cornice that I worked on previously. It is based on the neo-classical style as presented in Robert Chitham's 'The Classical Orders of Architecture.' I have abandoned it because it is neither original nor sufficiently original for my liking.
