The 'tint' comes from using 2 different colours of plaster,so it kind of has a marble effect,I guess with some more experimenting I can get a more realistic effect,believe it or not,due to a lack of tools as I did this on a spur of the moment kind of thing,I carved it all out with 2 small screwdrivers!,it was extremely easy to carve,any cracks or small breaks only made it look 'aged' still,it was much fun making it,which is the whole point,I have photos of real altars,so I think my next one will be an accurate copy if I can!,then I have to build the temple.......! <p>FLAVIVS QVINTILIVS GALLVS</p><i></i>
