I recently completed the building of a 1/32 scale Roman triumphal arch for my 54mm Punic Wars project and so I have posted a rather detailed "how to do it" tutorial on my blog, Der Alte Fritz Journal. Here is a link to my blog: link
The tutorial provides all of the information that you need to make your own model or similar models in other scales. Please click on the link and visit my blog for a look.

Nice looking model!
The city police in Rome still use SPOR as a symbol, and you might find a nice picture of a police car you can borrow the letters form (i.e., not everything is ancient).
Vast numbers of Roman coins were minted and used all over (kind of like US dollars, nowadays) so there are lots of them still around. Your local coin store can probably sell you a small bronze coin for under $20 USD, which you could use to make a mold for imperial portraits. The coin becomes something to go with your Roman figure collection. Negative side: when ancient coins were struck, they weren't as neatly, tidily centered as modern coins. Grelber |

Magnificent! Gluteous Maximus has long deserved such a monument for his brilliant campaigns in Dumidia. |
