This kit builds into a damaged ring of five, fluted-look stone columns supporting stone-slab lintels, somewhat after the fashion of a small round ancient Roman temple. However, the columns and their bases are pentagonal, not circular, and the lintel-ring is angled too, not rounded, which nicely hints at some alternative civilization instead. The model fits together well, and comes with three different colour schemes using PDF layers, in common with the other Lord Zsezse "Ancient Worlds" products. Unlike some of those though, the options for customization beyond such colour and landscape changes are a little more limited. If you wanted a structure with a complete lintel-ring, for instance, you'd need to print several repeat pages and do a degree of recutting to create a proper fit, as the basic kit doesn't provide a full set of lintel-slabs. Even so, in its "natural state", a pleasing complement to the "Ancient Worlds" line.

Like most of LZW’s 3D models, the Column Circle is beautifully illustrated and looks great on the table. If you’re willing to put in the time to build the pieces carefully, you’ll have a really nice set of 3D terrain. You might find yourself building this set repeatedly as you turn the various layers on and off to get different texture effects. I wrote almost exactly the same words for my review of the Megalith Circle set as well; in my judgment, the Column Circle is more time-consuming to build than the Megalith Circle, because the shapes are more complex. If you’re interested in this set, you probably ought to take a look at the Ancient Worlds Bundle instead of buying this set individually.
