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

Heya

the cannon carriage was made of 17 wood parts, the cannon it self is an old plastic GW, metal parts are made of strip and rod styrene, some where made from brass rod. Kalle surely made a great job on that cannon, and the best thing is, as I have said before hehe, he will make me 3 more for my WH army

Here are some pictures of Kalles cannon, painted by me. The third picture is a old GW metal cannon that will be used as terrain/deco in a fortification of some sort.

LIKE! LIKE! LIKE!

ALL VERY COOL & WELL DONE! The verdigris on the metal work is SPECTACULAR.

Looking good.

Sweet! Love the corrosion on the cannon.

Yes, it looks great!

Great work on the cannon and the well.

On the LAF topic of shipwrecks--not on LAF but Hornedrat has one here--

You'll have to scroll down the page (p.2) to find it, but it is well worth the trip.

I just lurk on the LAF, although they have had so many good pirate threads lately that I am weakening.

So, here are our latest house and update. Its the Pilot's (Lotse) house, and are built in two stories, but one floor over ground level wich means its a rather tall building, about 43 cm. I am sooooo looking forward to actually be able to play with this stuff... even if it means, that when its done, we are moving on to our new project, a Imperial village.
Primarely built by Kalle, and painted by me.

Here is the house in all its glory...


The tree stories...



Da chimney...


Roof with roof hatch, mast and ehh... roof contraption. Undead Pirate painted by Anatoli.


First floor, with naval cannon added for that extra safe home protection system. Fashionable compass rose on the floor.


Second floor, nice wooden floor for comfort and elegance...


The entrance with stairs and rope handle... GW dwarf, Mordheim Hired Sword, for scale (painted by me)...


Port side...


Aft side...


I hope you guys like it as much as we do! [img]So, here are our latest house and update. Its the Pilot's (Lotse) house, and are built in two stories, but one floor over ground level wich means its a rather tall building, about 43 cm. Primarely built by Kalle, and painted by me.

The links don't work for me

Edit: forget it, now they do. This is such an impressive piece. High craftsmanship and creative style. Parts of the house really look like a ship. But do you have special house rules for moving? I imagine it might take a whole game to get from the ground floor all the way up to the roof.

Well, then so be it

No special rules besides the mast, when you have reached it, you can enter the mast top.

I think "in all its glory" pretty much says it all; well may be "OH BABY, THAT'S COOL!" would be more to the point. That really is a perfect little TREASURE...about the only addition I could come up with is perhaps a semaphore signal on the mast. WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!

Amazing! Simply amazing! I notice a few GW bits and pieces on the house. Was the whole thing built from scratch? Either way, it's very inspiring!

Im with Deafnalia on this one, OH BABY THATS COOL!

Hehe, thank you very much guys, both me and Kalle are blushing a bit!

The house was completely built from scratch. We discuss and make up small stories about who owns the building, then we sort of just bla bla bla away until something viable comes to mind. Then Kalle makes small and very simple drawings, well sometimes he does, or he just keeps it in his mind, makes something, and then he asks me what I think, and we take it from there. He often makes small schematics for windows and such.

Yeah, there are a few GW bits, mostly to be able to say to anti-gw people that its a GW model

I think we have used so far, 2 windows, 3 goblin shields, 1 Empire shield and the cannon barrel it self.

We will add some furniture and other pieces to make it more "alive". Oh, and a fireplace of course.

I finally got Kalle to register here on Toms! :D:D

I as so happy I was finished that I forgot to build a fire place.
Back to work....

I made some stairs for our next house:


Please tell me what you think.

I will try to post some more today, its beutiful weather, and hence I think we will go to a coffee shop and hang out during the day, I am baby and girlfriend free until Sunday but after that we will continue to build a bit, do some Warhammer RPG and BBQ tonight
Oh my that sounds so uncool... but you guys got to understand that we are old dudes. No longer fit for the party crew.

The stairs look TERRIFIC...especially the arched sections of the stairways. The weekend plans sound good to moi.

This whole project is extremely cool! I'm particularly interested in the chapel conversion you guys did.

I was thinking of using the GW Chapel kit I have and convert it into a potion shop - this will involve getting rid of the skulls and other ornaments on the walls. How did you "clean" the walls so you could then add windows and wooden bits for your conversion?

Joao

Heya Joao

First of all, I dremeled out the windows and made a large square opening in one of the walls, then we cut up cardboard and fit to the inner walls and floor. I glued the roof and upper wall parts together and added a floor made by cardboard, cut out a hole for the ladders or stairs and made a hatch.
