Pirates... hiiiaarrr! New house and pictures :)

This is so... impressive! Wow! Great work!

Some slow progress. As I wrote on Lead-Adventure, we are actually making progress, but not much that deserves to take photos of.

This is a rough layout of the habour section of the board...


Inside one of the buildings...


LB cutting stuff...


Living room turned in to a workshop...


A pirate girl in 1/4 scale...

VERY COOL looking Pirate board! The Pirate Girl is painting up VERY NICELY...quite realistic skin tones.

Ahoj.

I just wanted to stalk by here and say; "This board is looking phenomenal!"

Yours and Mrs Tintin's costuming is putting the rest of us to shame too.

Regards,

Werekin.

Can not say how much I agree with this! great stuff

We have been lazy and havent really made much progress, but some stuff is done to the habour. It is our hope that it will be done by the weekend.

Ooo, I like this. Looks very promising...

You guys are really putting alot of effort into this, and good effort at that. It looks like this will be a lovely board to play in the future. Would sure love to let my arabian smugglers have a go there.

I can assure you, that you would be most welcome to join the campaign when we are done. We will also allow one 60cm x 60cm board for each player, as their private islands, sort of secret bases. This will also allow for extra scenery and yeild opportunities for more varied and specialized scenarios.

Absolutly cracking!! This is going to ba a dream to play on when finished. I am truely envious.
ps Have you tied a peg leg on your 1/4 scale pirate? It would give her a bit more durability ( in game terms )

*Cough*... I almost spilled my coffe. What and incrediable picture, I got to investigate this further... it looks just like a dream place!

Google search - pirates of black cove

Yeah I found that, hehe. Just what I need, another silly computer game

Great port you are getting yourselves there, mate.
And the idea with the private islands is a clever one, too.

Your Harbor looks TERRIFIC! Is that arched thingy coming out of the cylindrical rock going to be a water effect?

Cool as it is, it would take a major bit of magic to fit Black Cove on a 2'X2' board; now that would be a challenge worth the effort...kind of.

The thing coming out of the rock is... more rock hehe, it will be there so we can hang a miniature half sunk in to the water. We will use about 10-15mm resin to be able to get some sort of depth to the water, and to be able to have half sunk barrels and whatnots. I want a shark there as well... hmm, I dont like sharks, but hence my facination for them I suppose.

I can relate...my experiences with sharks have been close encounters of the worst kind.

Oh dear, seriously? I would propably get a heart attack and or a psychosis, propably both. Actually I was in Tunisia when they had very bad shark attacks in the early 70's. I think that where my shark phobia comes from.

Nothing too horrible; the first year I worked the tuna boats I managed, over the course of the Summer, to gaffe three Hammerheads & a Maco. I gained a couple of cool scars, a few fish stories, & a working knowledge of what impressive teeth sharks possess along with breath that could knock a buzzard off a s*** wagon.

Hiiaaarrrr! Tis a fine fleet... and it arriwed the other day in its home port

I am waiting for one more Black Pearl, and we will start working on these as soon as we have reciewed some materials much needed for some serious overhauling and conversion work.

VERY IMPRESSIVE! That will be a FINE LOOKING Armada. Are those all Mega Block ships?

Yeah, all of them are Mega Blok ships. I will convert one of the Black Pearls, and later on in the future one of the brown ones, what ever they are called. The other ships belong to the other guys in our group.

Lovely! The brown ones might be Stormstalkers, they look like they have the big shark as the ram...

habour's looking great, your interesting idea of 2x2 islands is fascinating will look forward to seeing it.
