I am on the lookout for ideas for small Roman/Egyptian-looking civilian pieces for my 5yo daughter who is obsessed with the period (inspired
manipulated by her Playmobil-loving mother...
).
Does anyone know if the Royal Ship of Egypt's canopy (ie the tent roof with four poles) can be used as a stand-alone piece? Or does it need some kind of a base to place the poles in for stability? I have seen it used as a market stall in Birdie's lovely Roman harbour town diorama, but can't quite determine its stand-alone potential from the pictures...
