You'll be needing a pagan cult, firstly.

Cake pillars/ stands?

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/05/2009 17:55

We'll be worshipping Demeter because we like the nature focus and also I'm rather fond of pomegranites

cake pillasr are lovely but not big enough.

DD thinks bigger = better

In that case you'll be needing the friendly supermarket, the corrugated cardboard sloshed with creamy emulsion fashioned into pillars, and a great big feck-off box with pillar size circles cut from the underside for you to slip your reinforced pillars into.

As for the steps and the triangle bit on top, and the friezes and the pomegranates ... you're on your own...

Will you be leaving sacrifices? We had to sacrifice biscuits to Athena for weeks when DS was doing the Greeks...

Bits of downpipes/any other plumbing pipe - for some reason we always seem to have random bits of those kicking around (DH is not a plumber but apparently knows as much ). They would be just the job, and are paintable - but you are then talking big scale.

Good choice of God, btw.

DD says not cardboard it has to be real marble

will have to thwart her budding architectural desires.

Get sacrificing in the hopes you're not rearing the reincarnated Nero

Let her loose with some plaster of paris, I very dare you!

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/05/2009 19:33

she is having plans for a lifesize statue.
plaster could come in useful for that.

With the right render, most houses could be cosmetically altered
