What to do in Rome?

What model should I make for Rome project?

• I'm in a contest for making a large model of a scene,building, or monument from ancient Rome. I plan to make a model of some building or scene that would be part of every day life in ancient Rome for the average plebeian. I need to know what model would capture the simple life of Rome but still look nice at the same time. I would appreciate it if someone could give me ideas on what materials to use that don't cost much money. I'm only fourteen and i have a budget of about $30.

• Answer:

  You Could try doing the Circus Maximus. It was the main racetrack in Rome and was available to nearly everyone so would be good for you to do. It is not as tall and complicated as the Colosseum so hopefully wil be easier for you to do. I would probably use: Cardboard, Papier mache, sand, glue and paints.
