First up a Happy New Year to all my fellow friends here on TMP…
It has been a couple of weeks since I frequented the site in earnest and with Xmas now behind us I thought I would share the limited progress made on Pirate Island.
Things are starting to come together and a full round up plus lots of photos can be seen on the blog.

The surf looks fantastic! I also really like the vegetation clinging to the cliffs by the fortification. It adds visual interest and a lifelike touch for me. |

Very nice, very nice indeed, up to my arms in a pirate ship and figs myself at the moment, so great to see others inspiration. As an aside, the knife thrower, any ideas what make he is? |

Please stop posting this stuff! – I can't afford to start another project :) This is looking really excellent, I am very envious. Thanks for sharing. |

Hi Folks Thanks for the feedback… MadDrMark – I too llike the surf..wallpaper, darkgreen paint + white highlights with a coat of varnish. Rapier Miniatures the knife thrower is from Foundry as are all my pirates at the moment. Still have to start on my ship(s). Le Petit Tondu – I started on the Pirate Village this morning – expect to see some photos soon. Eric |

Very impressive, and that's what I call a decent size shed! |

What a pain you are…First it's a brilliant fort FIW and now a really lovely pirate scenario.well done,will look superb when all the bits and pieces are put on the table.
When will you stop???You have far too much time on your hands..
Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Wow…more feedback…really appreciate all the positive comments. Responding to Tabletopndice (great name!) – I really enjoyed building the FIW fort – whereas this one has been a bit of a pain (too many bits of card !) Time is relative but it does help that I am a bit of an insomniac and not a perfectionist – both traits that serve my hobby well. Aside from working a 12 hour day (including commute),I do have a family to entertain and other social interests. On average what you are seeing hear is abnout 8-10 hours of work a week. It does help that I have the shed so I can leave the mess lying around after each stint. This is typically an hour in the morning 6am- 7am and a few hours at the weekend/week nights. Whats still to come… well here is sneak picture of some of the buildings started on Pirate Town –
cheers Eric |
